What is the sexiest/coolest accent for a spouse.

I think the sexiest is French, the cutest is Swiss.

Scottish!

AIBU to ask what the South African accent sounds like?

It would be an eksent with a SA.

I live in Switzerland, I don't think they are cute.

They do think English girls are easy though.

I love a Dublin accent...

Geordie drools

London or South East

I have a serious thing for the harder g dutch accents. I've been told this is weird but I don't care, they make me feel all funny Grin

Boston??!! That's hilarious. I find it so terribly grating (but maybe it's because I've lived there?)

DH's accent is the best to my ears, although I'd close my eyes and take Liam Neeson's in a pinch!

augustusglupe · 12/01/2019 21:20

I like a gritty American kind of accent, like James Hetfield from Metallica, with a bit of redneck thrown in...

DH is Welsh and went to public school Grin Grin

TeeniefaeTroon · 12/01/2019 21:22

Has to be an Irish accent, I love it.

AhoyAhoy · 12/01/2019 21:22

DH has a Caribbean accent. It’s pretty nice.

Love a Geordie though.

tinytreefrog · 12/01/2019 21:23

Welsh

shirleyschmidt · 12/01/2019 21:23

Can't beat a deep, well-spoken English voice. Probably what you'd call posh, but not too plummy. Like Colin Firth.

ShadyLady53 · 12/01/2019 21:24

I love a Northern Irish accent.

Ex spoke like Tom Hiddleston 😭, his voice is one of the things I miss most about him.

Certain southern states American accents do it for me too.

BigFatBloomers · 12/01/2019 21:28

I love a Glaswegian accent.

peachgreen · 12/01/2019 21:29

Northern Irish for me too and I love that it's doing so well in this little unofficial poll. Grin

Actually I think Scottish JUST pips NI - particularly East Coast. Although DH - from NI, lived in Scotland for years - is the perfect mix.

AdoreTheBeach · 12/01/2019 21:30

English, southern or Home Counties. Hence marrying mine and moving to England.

madmum5811 · 12/01/2019 21:31

Deep South, the rhythm , delivery, e.g. Morgan freeman, johnny depp, george clooney,

bengalcat · 12/01/2019 21:32

DP is a posh boy so like that - but French , Irish and Scottish in that order come a close ‘ second ‘

toomuchtooold · 12/01/2019 21:34

I'm Scottish, DH is Swiss.

I don't think we sound all that attractive though as all our conversations are about Brexit and taking the bins out Grin

Didsomeonesaybunny · 12/01/2019 21:35

My boyfriend has an upper RP accent which I love!

I also quite the Canadian accent - I like how they say ‘out’ and ‘about’.
