Just that really.

I like a Scottish or an Irish accent on a man!

DP is Scottish and I'm happy :)
I dated an Indian man whose accent I loved, also.

Glad someone else said this, was my first thought but was beginning to think I was odd. Oh well, all the more for us Grin

It was who has the best accent! it's not colin

German for me. I'm a sucker for that Teutonic precision. Henning Wein makes me weak at the knees!

Skysblue · 05/07/2021 22:55

Irish! Then Italian.

@Wrinklyeyes

I am fascinated by accents. I love an east London accent but not Essex - and for lots of people outside the UK those might sound similar.

I like a Scottish accent but not a posh Scottish accent - Robert Carlyle but not Ewan McGregor.

Hate English RP.

I'm Glaswegian and Bobby Carlyle is my ultimate man. Luckily DH bears more than a passing resemblance to him!

For me it is always the Northern Irish, hands down. Didn't realise it was so popular!

rantymcrantface66 · 05/07/2021 23:00

Greek accents - I absolutely love the way they pronounce English, Spanish second!

Feelingbad2 · 05/07/2021 23:05

Stephen Graham scouse…. ❤️

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 05/07/2021 23:57

Yorkshire. Or Italian.

You couldn't get two accents further apart Grin

JaneJeffer · 05/07/2021 23:58

John Barnes has the sexiest accent on the planet.

FuzzyClutter · 06/07/2021 00:33

Irish, west coast

dayswithaY · 06/07/2021 09:55

Southern states of US - especially when they call you Ma'am!

Irish

annacondom · 06/07/2021 10:02

South London, French, southern Irish, Cornish. Quite like Welsh. Am completely turned off by some others. Funny, isn't it? But the biggest turn on is someone who, along with a sexy accent, is friendly and intelligent my French neighbour, phwoar!

BarryTheKestrel · 06/07/2021 10:08

Welsh, particularly the valleys. Explains my strange attraction to Rhod Gilbert 😂

Then Spanish and Dutch.

ThePearlOfDumbarton · 06/07/2021 10:10

I feel bad saying this because I love the spirit of the average Australian (bit of annoying stereotyping thrown in first to compound matters) but I don't love the Australian accent. I think a very very very mild oz accent can be ok but on the whole, no. I don't know why this is though

I love Richard Burton's voice... The first time I listened to Under Milk Wood my husband was driving us through Wales..."To begin at the beginning...." Absolutely stunning... 💙 💙 💙

So many memories of my late DH... 💙 💙
WhereTheFuck · 06/07/2021 14:39

I would never have said this before, but my new man is Greek-American and OMG!! His accent is the best thing I've ever heard

SunscreenCentral · 06/07/2021 15:09

French!!

midsomermurderess · 06/07/2021 16:25

The thing for me that rules out Australian is the upward inflection. Now, it might not be quite as prevalent and quite as bad as Master Chef Au gives the impression of, but even if it's a fraction of that, I couldn't stand it. I do listen to the contestant speak with a degree of wonder though, the ability to put rising inflections on every word in a sentence, then a sudden drop at the end, is quite something.
