What accent do you think is the sexiest?

Nov 3, 2009 6:19 AM
Mine is British...This poll says that it is Irish.

What do you think?

Men with an Emerald Isle brogue came top in a poll of 5,000 women worldwide, while the French accent only came fourth, just ahead of Australian.

Italian, the native language of stars such as jockey Frankie Dettori, was second.

In third place was the Scottish burr, made famous by actor Sean Connery

English was sixth and Swedish was seventh, with Spanish, Welsh and American completing the top 10.

A spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the international survey, blamed French president Nicolas Sarkozy for the French accent's fall from grace.

"The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be," he said.

''You can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men.

''It is good news for the Irish that they have come top, they have been in and around the top five for years now.

''But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore.''

The study also found three fifths of women admitted they hade been seduced by someone purely because of their accent, while two fifths said they would much rather sleep with a man who had a nice accent, compared to a harsh one.

There's no such thing as a "British accent". There's Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish and all the regional ones. North Welsh is different to South Welsh, Yorkshire is unique ... they're so different.

But give me a Welsh man and I'm happy just listening ...

The French are pretty cute, too.

A Russian accent on a woman is sexy.
For man, I'd say Italian.

"Southern Belle."

So does this also mean there is no such thing as an American accent?

Let's see, we have Southern accent, Texan accent, Jersey accent (pronounced "Joy-zee"), Boston accent

what else? Hillbilly accent? Does Maine or Seattle have their own accent?

Lakota?

It is pretty hard unless you are from a particular country to know the different accents and be able to identify them. Most people generalize.

So, to be specific, not knowing the regional accents...I choose all Brit accents.:-x

I love all accents. We have lots in this country. Midwestern, southern, New Joysey, Brooklyn, New England. Heavy Maine accents, Buffalo NY accents are different from midstate ny accents.
Texas. I agree with op Irish accents are real nice
