Sexy Accents

[Svelter]

I was just thinking earlier when I was playing tennis with a posh girl, who kept swearing. Usually, this is a bit of a turn-off for me but she said 'shit' in a kind of nice, quintessentially English way that I liked. So this made me wonder, what accent do you find the sexiest or most alluring?

[Mat^]

The female welsh accent makes me melttttt.

[happy-go-lucky]

You didn't put Dutch. So I vote other.

[Svelter]

I can't even think what they sound like.

[Bail]

The female welsh accent makes me melttttt.
So how come theres only 1 vote for it (mine) but you are correct in your statement.

[Urlosenged]

Female Australian accent for me. I find most English girls' accents to be really weird and confusing and not even remotely sexy.

[Disgruntledgoat]

Irish.

Weak at the knees.

Tongue on the floor.


mmmmmmmm

[Extremity]

It's obviously the Arab one.

[nataya_ivanna]

well slovakian accent, silly pollmaker!

[Garry3]

'Scottish' covers a very wide range of accents. 90% of Scottish accents are embarrassing to our country.

[Jimmy]

French for me.

[Garry3]

Also, what's with this new massive poll thread trend? (lol tongue twister)

[Dangar]

Why isn't vietnamese there? Me sho horny, me love you long time sucky sucky.

[HeavyT]

Canadian?

[wyrd_fish]

It's obviously the Arab one.

amen to this, brother

Why isn't vietnamese there? Me sho horny, me love you long time sucky sucky.

because we're too 'bocoue' ;)
if you've not seen full metal jacket i vote you rubbish at life

[terrorbite]

American girls pls.

[Sorcha]

Irish accents!

Because if you're able to discern that someone is Irish, it means they're not plastered, and are in fact sober. Which is good, and sexy! :)

(My accent rocks, muahahaha.)

[Haroshi]

Russian.

Sexy spys. ;)

[LeoZ]

the Australian accent makes me want to punch babies.

I've been obsessed with the german accent ever since a really awesome german girl lived at my house for like a year.

[albie_123]

Russian, obviously.

[Littleshore]

Swedish, French, umm Dutch, Australian(sometimes)

[captain canuck]

Canadian? I'd agree, except that there's no uniform Canadian accent, except the stereotypical one (actually closest to Eastern provincial, isn't it?), which also assumes you discount anything but the European-Canadian linguistic contribution.

[Drattigan]

When you say 'sexy' do you mean sort of romantic, or do you mean 'awesome'?

[LukeCarry]

the west country accentis a bit of ooh arrr

[GorillaBearBear]

on the poll, I voted Australian. I don't know why, but an Australian girl can not even be that hot, but I generally bump her up like, 2 to 3 points based on the sexiness factor.

but, the one that's missing, is I also find Northern English accents really sexy as well. Not Geordie, but Yorkshire and Lancs and places in that sort of area. I know a girl from Doncaster and I would plug her hard.

[Ozzylator]

Posh English please.

[Lewiji]

When you say 'sexy' do you mean sort of romantic, or do you mean 'awesome'?
Do you not know what sexy means?

Personally I think some of the Brummie accents on a female sound amazing, Ladywood etc have lovely accents.

[Sebas]

I've been told mine is.

I don't sound Dutch though, which I consider a pre.

Personally, I'd probably go for Irish.

[ray]

i think my accent is a combination of australian and the sound of a whale being jammed into a wood chipper

[Smartie]

Scottish, Welsh and Bristol/west country accents all would have me incomprehensibly drooling should a pretty laydee chat to me.

i've already been out with a Scot and a West country-er, I'm just looking for a Welsher now....

[Nataliation]

Hmm I have to say the Scottish accent, then closely followed by the Irish. What is upsetting is, that I love the accents, I just cannot understand them very well :(

But male Scottish accents are lovely...

[Sorcha]

Smartie, I'm too sexy for you.

If you heard my accent you'd melt! :p Muhahaha.

[allfalldown]

Posh English can be pretty hot (I'm playing Tomb Raider at the moment :p). Australian is quite nice too, but then again I think all my experience of Australian girls has come from soaps and the girls in Australian soaps tend to be better looking than average :D

Also, and it's not often I stick up for the Americans, but it seems unfair to me to just have 'American' on the poll. There are loads of different American accents. Southern/Texan can be nice :)

[pebble_rebel]

Canadian accents!
How can they be forgotten all that haphazard american cool imbued with the sophiostication of Brits but with the poetry and vulnerbility of french accents. If I was gay, scottish accents are pretty up there.

[Smartie]

Smartie, I'm too sexy for you.

If you heard my accent you'd melt! :p Muhahaha.

You reckon..?





You're probably right.. ;)

[Krauser]

Just the ordinary English voice does it for me.

[tom93]

French for the win.
My only other thought was Posh English, then I remembered that Posh English accents bug me.

[CHEEEEEEESE!]

Has to be Russian.

The rolling of the r's is pure win.

[Hydralisk]

'Scottish' covers a very wide range of accents. 90% of Scottish accents are embarrassing to our country.
tbh, I don't think glasgweign is what the poll has in mind :p

Typical, gruff, Billy Connolly-esque Scottish I think sounds cool.

Although Irish is also very sexual.

[Bappel]

PORTUGUESE!!!!

How could you leave out spanish and portuguese?

[Lewiji]

to be honest (as i always normally skate around the subject, mostly i plain lie), I don't think glasgweign is what the poll has in mind :p

Typical, gruff, Billy Connolly-esque Scottish I think sounds cool.

Although Irish is also very sexual.
Isn't Billy Connolly from Glasgow?

[BlueIncaPilot]

Aren't you dead posh Svelter?

Anyway being as you've grouped Scouse with Cockney and Geordie I can't choose that so I've gone with Scottish. Though it's from one particular place I don't know where - one of Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen.

[BekyLou]

Gotta be Italian, but thats not on there.
Makes me go weak at the knees.
I voted for French, its the next best accent for a bloke.

[by crikey!]

why is the poll not multiple choice? huh?

i'd vote for all the Scandinavian countries, Eastern Europe and Arabic accents. Russian too. i'd make a pun on 'cunnilingus' now but i can't think of any.

[Ferg]

Irish. It sounds like music.

[Hitpoint]

The Irish accent in girls is niceeeeeee.

[queenofself]

i like the croaky american accent.

also in general im fairly indifferent to the yorkshire accent here but in specific people i find it quite sexxual.

[Midget]

poll should be multi option

was between welsh, australian and french for me

welsh only wins by a teeny bit though

[Zhyl]

I don't actually care. There are people who say their accents like liquid chocolate and there are other with exactly the same accent who make it feel like nails down a chalk board. I voted posh english because I thought it was a "what's your accent?" poll. I should learn to read.

Generally I prefer smoother and slightly deeper to the normal screech of the common lass. Too high just does my head in.

[feeshy]

It really depends on the person who's speaking... I love Anthony Head's voice, and David Bowie's, and David Tennant (both his Scottish and his Dr Who/Casanova one). Italian can be nice, and the less 'harsh' sounding Scottish accents as well.

[Eschaton]

Whoops, I voted Austrian rather than Australian on accident. But yah, I love Australian acccents. Russian and Irish can be quite nice too.

[Thomp]

If a girl has a posh accent, but likes it "naughty", then OMGHOTDOMENOWPLZKTHX.

Other than that, French accents for girls is kinda hot too.

[Baguette]

oh god welsh ladies, yes yes yes!!

[Turkey Sandwich]

A list: Posh English (i.e. clipped RP, not inbred 'charch' style), Australian (it's the kind of sound that usually I would find annoying, but for some reason I don't), French (hm, mellifluous), German (quite scary on men, often a different effect coming from a womens), Southern US (I have no idea why), Washington DC (a bit obscure, but still), Northern Irish (quite harsh-sounding, but southern Irish just makes me think of Father Ted), South Welsh (although it's more pretty than sexy) and Edinburgh (because it sounds better than Glasgow and those are the only 2 Scottish accents I know).
All others that I can think of in the entire world are either weird, 'meh' or just plain bad.

And out of those ones up there, English, Australian and French win equally.

[Qu1f]

I prefer welsh accents really. Then again i could be biased as i happen to live in South Wales.

[Drattigan]

Do you not know what sexy means?
Ofcourse I know what sexy means.

eg. 'that fan-art is sexy' The person who is saying that is not trying to imply that his/her thoughts on the fan-art is that it is sexually stimulating, but that it rocks. That's why I'm asking in what way does he mean "sexy accent", because it could be either.

[Fish Finger]

Devonshire ftw

:p

[Erskien_Parkour]

FRENCH

YES.

Also russian Very very VERY close behind.

So hawt <3

[Turkey Sandwich]

The person who is saying that is not trying to imply that his/her thoughts on the fan-art is that it is sexually stimulating, but that it rocks.

Really? Damn, that explains everything... :ninja:

[Boyinabox]

I was hoping it was multiple choice so I clicked several and voted. D'oh!

German women have sexy accents, ditto Japanese, Irish and Americans. But again, it ain't multiple choice! :p

[Rook]

Japanese singing voices are awesome, but I think it's more of a personal thing than just about nationality.

For example, one person's (for example) chelsea accent might make my ears bleed, while another would cause me to melt through the floor.

Russian accents can swing very wide too.

[Svelter]

on the poll, I voted Australian. I don't know why, but an Australian girl can not even be that hot, but I generally bump her up like, 2 to 3 points based on the sexiness factor.

but, the one that's missing, is I also find Northern English accents really sexy as well. Not Geordie, but Yorkshire and Lancs and places in that sort of area. I know a girl from Doncaster and I would plug her hard.
I always have much contempt for the multitude who think Doncaster is northern. Shameful.

[GorillaBearBear]

Is it Midlands then? I am not very good at geography, but as far as I'm concerned north of Birmingham = Northern and South of Birmingham = South with the exception of East Anglia, because we rule and are a category all to ourselves.

[Midget]

gargh, wish i'd voted australian over welsh now

mmmm neighbours

[Ozzylator]

Sally James pls.

[Svelter]

Bah, I'm from Durham (nobody knows where that is and anyone who does is lying and a shit) so I'm northern enough to class anywhere south of North Yorkshire as the south. It does all depend on where you live though. Someone who lives in Cornwall would easily call Liverpool 'northern' but I'd quickly reprimand them for it, being an obnoxious sod-hat and all.

[GorillaBearBear]

Awww man, Durham. My brother went to uni there, and my mate's there at the moment (well, not at the moment, it's the holidays). It's kind of Rubbish.

Also, that is quite a good description. I accept that Doncaster isn't "proper" north, because that is Yorkshire and Lancs and Cumbria and that. And I always imagine that the only people who live North of Yorkshire are all old men who drive steam engines like Fred Dibner.

[Midget]

north west ftw

my grandad is possibly the most northern person ever, i absolutely love his accent

[Svelter]

He went to Durham Uni. How can you find Durham City rubbish?! (with a capital 'R'.)

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m55/Svelter/cathedral.jpg

I love the city of Durham. It's sophisticated, friendly, tidy. It's got a cathedral beautiful enough to film Harry Potter there but not be a terrorist target. I was at the regatta there on Sunday. It's just nice. Sorry, if that sounds like a bland description or like the place seems boring, but it is. It's got the same intellectual aura about it that Edinburgh, Oxford and Cambridge all possess.

Heh, I practically live on the borderline to North Yorkshire. I bike there quite a lot with friends and there aren't really any Fred Dibnahs. They're all fairly posh and look down at us for being middle-class. Well, that's the people that are out. Most of them seem to live in there houses, and by that I mean, permanently.

Jesus, Baabaa, why not just push shit through my letterbox?

[GorillaBearBear]

Fred Dibnah was a Lancs man anyway, as my English teacher got ver indignant to me about when I thought he was a yorks man (my english teacher comes from leeds, he is apparently very proud)

Anyway, Durham is a very nice city. Undeniably beautiful, I just found there isn't a whole lot to do if you don't have much money, which both my brother and my friend complain about.

We should probably stop.

Weird - my maths teacher not only comes from Leeds but takes the train up there everyday. It's like 80 miles to travel!

Yeah, it is nice but expensive, admittedly. When I go to see friends there we usually end up in Pizza Hut or somewhere where the prices are generally the same in each shop. Oh, and I was joking before. Wasn't being pissy on the internets.

[Cerberus]

Can't see why people voted American, it's a total put off to me.

I choose Japanese, the whole R into L thing is sterotypical, but it's damn attractive.

[captain canuck]

American is much like Canadian, though... just including it is a bit of an insult to the wide variety of accents in the one country. :p

[livewirekitty]

So, I shouldn't have been surprised when someone mistook me for being Canadian while we talked on the phone? :confused:

[captain canuck]

So, I shouldn't have been surprised when someone mistook me for being Canadian while we talked on the phone? :confused: I meant much like it, in the sense that both countries have many accents.

But there are certain regions where the accent is similar. Most of the Pacific Northwest has roughly the same one, regardless of which country, and there's a similar pattern in the Midwest, etcetera. Basically anywhere in the southern part of the provinces and northern states, along the border, you get some overlap.

There are other exceptions, though, some of which defy geographical logic.

[BlueberryMuffin]

I put Welsh just ahead of Australian mostly because I live here and that is probably biased. But after reading the replies I would probably change my vote to Italian.

[Roxit]

I chose Irish, because it just is. And I do believe that maybe it does produce the best looking people in the world. But I have not been there so that may be false.

Anyway second would be female lizard voice. Which you can hear in several video games and movies. Geek I am.

[Svelter]

Aren't you dead posh Svelter?
Not really. I go to a private school but that's about as posh as I get. I lived on a farm for 11 years and was raised on a building site and have a pretty neutral accent really. I mean, it's not like I have a team of butlers but not like when someone gets out paper plates my Mum tells them to put away the fine china. I'm just sort of middle class, although some people regard that as posh, but that's just because they're being hostile.

[Roachy]

The Australian accent is not sexy at all.

The French one is very sexy.

I think though, the English spoken in my area (Derbyshire) is brilliant.
It's not like anything ever. It's so good.

[Flava Dave]

How's she cuttin', ladies?

[swarfegahead]

I chose Irish, because it just is. And I do believe that maybe it does produce the best looking people in the world. But I have not been there so that may be false.

Irish accents can be sexy, depending on where in Ireland you're talking about. As for producing the best looking people in the world, emmmm no!:)

Hehehe, The Lusty Argonian Maid!
(If you haven't played Oblivion ignore that!)

[BlueIncaPilot]

north west ftw

Ho!!!

I quite agree.

[Roachy]

You know what, screw this, my voice is the sexiest. Ask anyone who's heard it.

[Svelter]

I thought you'd sound exactly like that guy from McFly but you sounded a bit more croaky...I think.

[captain canuck]

I don't have an accent. It's all of you lot! :p

[Qu1f]

I dont have an accent either to be honest.

[BlueIncaPilot]

archbishop joe

Sorry to change the subject but who is archbishop joe?

[feeshy]

I'd be interested to see two polls- one for men, one for women. The men seem to like the softer, higher pitched accents (I mean c'mon, Japanese? Usually sounds like a bunch of hamsters on nitrous oxide), whereas the women seem to prefer.... a variety. I think we women aren't really that bothered- I'd still love David Tennant even if he was a bit of a chav.

[Mercury126]

Eastern European just makes it for me.

[Roachy]

I thought you'd sound exactly like that guy from McFly but you sounded a bit more croaky...I think.
I do not sound croaky! My voice melts all chocolate in the vicinity when I talk.

I used to pass thru on the way to newcastle to see my g/f.
So I know where it is. :P

Also, Manchester and Liverpool are 'northern', as they are classed as "the north west" (of England), though they are indeed the south of the north, as the midlands kicks in soon after (about the Stoke type area)

[katox]

Soft Scotch for me please. :)

Nice to see a few lovers of Northern (England) girlies, though most of the time I feel my voice is blokey and common. :p


And I always imagine that the only people who live North of Yorkshire are all old men who drive steam engines like Fred Dibner.


:'(




Actually, looking at counties I'm probably level with the top of Yorkshire, sorta.

[captain canuck]

Nice to see a few lovers of Northern (England) girlies I'm a lover of all girlies. Given sufficient motivation, I'd ignore an absolutely terrifying combination of high-pitch and near-incomprehensible accent.

I'd just nod and agree "in principle" a lot. :p

[katox]

Well I aint that bad Canuck (Lord help me if I was). :p

[captain canuck]

I'm sure you're just fine. :D

[Disgruntledgoat]

I sometimes London accents really annoying, which sometimes means I hate the sound of my own voice, which isn't helpful when I'm trying to listen back to me on the radio to see if I made any major cock-ups.

But I stick by earlier comment of Irish accents. Scottish accents are cool too, although only when I can understand them. My Uncle is from Glasgow and there are times when I just guess the right time to nod or laugh, but I suppose it works two ways. And most European accents are lovely too.

I generally find most English accents a bit boring.

[Svelter]

I do not sound croaky! My voice melts all chocolate in the vicinity when I talk.
Let's hear it then. Yeah, post a link!

Also, Manchester and Liverpool are 'northern', as they are classed as "the north west" (of England), though they are indeed the south of the north, as the midlands kicks in soon after (about the Stoke type area)
Meh, that's just because most of the population live around London so Liverpool seems northern to them.

[Mash89]

I like the French best. France is awesome and so's the language. I want someone to vote Pakistani or Indian...

[katox]

My Uncle is from Glasgow and there are times when I just guess the right time to nod or laugh...



When I catch the train from homehome there's usually a fair amount of Glaswegians onboard and most of the time I haven't got a clue what they're on about (though saying that it could be the vast amounts of alcohol they've consumed already)! :p

[katt]

i like english accents...well many of them anyway.

i have often tried to think about what an american accent might sound like to a british person but it is hard unless there is an american talking with british perople .

like in the fawlty towers episode about the waldorf salad where the american is egging basil to 'bust his ass'. i wonder if that actor was british ..i am assuming so for some reason cause it sounded exaggerated the way he was talking

[i_stalk_badgers]

Posh English on blokes. Makes me think they're about to buy me a pony or something.

If only. Le sigh.

[Ebzy]

Russian Russian!

the weediest Russian bloke will have a voice that is so deep it's right in his boots.. it makes my flaps vibrate!

oh and why the Hell do u blokes like Aussie accents ? I sound like a dying mule with a corn on the cob shoved up its nostril

[Turkey Sandwich]

oh and why the Hell do u blokes like Aussie accents ? I sound like a dying mule with a corn on the cob shoved up its nostril

My theory is that the only times we ever hear them is from the women on Neighbours (who usually end up as singers) and the trillions of Australian barmaids in this country.

And all those people are usually rather lovely. Usually.
So it's by association.

[LeoZ]

i agree, aussie accents make me want to punch infants. I think i already mentioned that.

[GorillaBearBear]

My theory is that the only times we ever hear them is from the women on Neighbours (who usually end up as singers) and the trillions of Australian barmaids in this country.


Naw man, I just find the accent really sexy, and somehow find australian girls automatically sexy as well, even if they aren't 10 out of 10 lookswise. Of all the girls I have ever pulled in clubs, the australian one was easily the sexiest, even though she wasn't the hottest.

Shame I lost her number really :(

[Jimmy's Mom]

Polish, believe it or not
