    It's so funny to read this, I am french with a very strong accent even after 3 years in the us !
    but americans (especially guys ;) seem to love it, they tell me that all the time (after making me repeating the same stuff 3 times !)
    I dont get it, because when I hear other fench people speak english, I find it horrible (o-ri-ble) !!

    Cant believe how many people like Scottish accents haha! I dont like mine particularly. Sexy London accent, Irish, Australian, American... I'm not picky, but I dont think its just the accent its the tone and sound of the particular voice !

    :laugh: being British, I'm finding it funny that you lovely Americans seem to enjoy the accents of our nation!

    For me, Italian or French. But if I'm really honest, it's not an accent as such, but a voice, my fella has a lovely voice, I love talking to him on the phone!! ( and he's South West British!) :smooched:

    my favourite accent on a man is a midlands account, specifically stoke ( good job really as my fella is a Stokie) but I'm sorry but the south Africa accounts really grates on me.

    Australian....any plain guy is 5X hotter with an Aussie accent, and then of course Irish ;)

    Don't come to Australia then, you'll be sorely disappointed when you hear 'real' Australian accents :P

    I love British, Scottish and Irish accents, and all the complex variations depending on the exact area that a person is from.

    I have a slightly 'hick' accent, although I can't hear it myself. I grew up on a farm in Delaware, so my accent is a mix of southern and northeastern, and my uncles all had thick Alabama-style drawls.

    I get told all the time that my voice and accent are hard to place, few people ever get it right, because it's a strange mix. I can however pick out someone from Maryland/Delaware in a heartbeat most of the time if I hear them on the phone or talking nearby.

    I also like Indian accents, not neccessarily for men, but just to listen to in general.

    I think I pay attention to accents more than usual because English isnt my first language and I'm always intrigued by how others prononce certain things. *shrug* who knows

    i do not like southern accents much, they can be annoying to me.
    as well as some accents i hear out here in the midwest (they irk me too)
    apparently i have a ny accent, although it sounds normal to me and my friends/family sound normal too.
    new zealand accents are fabulous.

    I used to love british accent, now I cant stand it.

    I love the accent the argentinians have, but when they speak spanish, not english.

    I love English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh accents. Russian accents are my favorite though, hands down.

    I'm not really a big fan of New England accents though, despite having bit of one myself.
