South African is where it's at for me. I think my panties spontaneously come off when I hear someone with that accent.
However, I cannot stand NY/NJ accents. Nails on a chalkboard.0 -
I looooooove guys with Scandinavian and Germanically based language accents I don't like French, Spanish or Italian accents but if a guy (or gal) speaks to me in German then in German accented English I'd be weak at the knees x3
EDIT: I'm British with an English accent xD0 -
If you have ever seen "New in Town" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous"... I am really not that far off...
This is me, from over a year ago. I am not dressed up or anything for it and look terrible, but you can just minimize it and listen to the sound. LOL!

Oh my gosh, I have met a couple of men with a South African accent that made me swoon! Also, some of the southern accents - South Carolina & Texas come to mind A Jamaican accent is pleasant to listen to, male or female.0

NO. Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee are mostly unintelligible to me. and i have to 'communicate' with them at work. :grumble:0

hmm I don't know.. Some of the accents from my home home state, Louisiana, are not very attractive in my opinion. I've worked very hard to NOT sound like that. Still have some work to do.
'The further south you go, the worse it gets. I'm originally from Houma.0 -

Drop Dead Gorgeous-nice movie.0 -
I think some are more awesome than others. They are universally interesting because you know intrinsically that the person with the accent is not from where you personally hail from, but some accents make me want to punch people in the face.

My accent is... easy to understand. Doesn't that count for anything?0

I was raised in an Italian speaking family, and I sorta picked up some of the accent. My friends love to tease me about it. Apparently, so I'm told anyway, it gets stronger when excited or upset.0

I've got the generic American accent (Seattle) and my bf's is the east Anglian English accent (Cambridgeshire) which is very BBC newscaster easy to understand English. Our favorites are each others but thats because we are bias. I like a Cockney east London accent as well, but that's where I live now. I also love Dutch accents, I think they sound kind of comical.0

I don't feel my Boston accent is really pronounced but when I'm away for work people ask me to say "Wicked pissah".
I also find Australian accents are similar in that we tend to drop our r's0 -
Like Swedish, Latin American, Cajun/Creole, French0

I dated a woman from Mass. and she would say "wicked" in every other sentence. lol0 -
Yes! Love an accent! England/Scotland are my favorite, but I love Russian and Italian...well just about all. :happy:0

I have a slight Jersey accent, alright, maybe not so slight lol.
My hubby has an eastern European accent.
I love British accents, southern accents, and Russian/eastern europe accents.0 -
accents are awesome, and I say that because I'm a midwesterner and we have no accent. We are the plain boring dialect which newscasters are taught to speak like. :ohwell:
Not true! First, we have an accent to other people. They think they have no accent, because that's what's normal for them. And I have been told I have a little of that WI/MN accent. I love it.0 -

Does everyone love an accent that is different from their own or is it just me?
Favorites
Boston
Jersey/New York
Southern/country
Australian
GBR English
Those first two...........So awesome......................so awesome
GBR English, or the British accent as I see lots of people refer to it, makes me laugh. Which British accent is that then? Thanks to Hollywood, Americans seem to think we all talk like Hugh Grant or Colin Firth. In reality, our accents are as different and varied as yours! The British accent. LOL0
