Just that really.

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

Brazilian - he used to talk shit for hours and I'd just let him ramble on...

Robin233 · 04/07/2021 19:04

Cockney.
(I have a slight hint of Yorkshire myself).

Also Southern /Appalachian. Especially if he also uses their sayings:

Yes ma'am 'm fixing t' kiss ya

And a West Indies accent ala Michael Holding. Double swoon

winemonster · 04/07/2021 19:16

Dutch or PolishBlush

gigi556 · 04/07/2021 19:28

Scottish, getting turned on just thinking about it 🙈

Getawaywithit · 04/07/2021 19:28

Sexiest ever is French on Bradley Cooper…

@Travielkapelka

Generic well spoken southern / London for me. No contest
Yuck. I could never fancy a man with a posh accent. Ultimate turn-off for me. RP I can just about tolerate if he's otherwise really nice. But the idea of such bland accents being a turn-on is bizarre to me.

Geordie
Irish
Australian
American

Another Dutch lover here. Specifically the hard g accent. Lordy but that works for me.

Bloodypunkrockers · 04/07/2021 20:25

Manx or Yorkshire for me

For all those saying Scottish accent - I'm sure a convo with a Perth gadgie would disabuse you of that pretty quickly Grin

tabctrlnoanykey · 04/07/2021 20:27

The Donegal accent! Or there abouts.

Seashor · 04/07/2021 20:31

Greg James has the best voice EVER, but accents, Welsh.

Essentialironingwater · 04/07/2021 20:33

Surprised at all those proposing NI accents. I live here and I think general Belfast is quite nice but not Ballymena way. I work with someone from Newry and can't understand a word they say. It amazes me that such a small population can all sound so different, some of them sound Scottish to me.

I don't know what I find sexy. I'm from home counties so anyone north of Sheffield sounds quite exotic to me Grin

Ones that turn me off are Welsh, West country and South African (on account of the horrible guy in District 9!) Don't know why. Am sure there are loads of sexy men from all of those places but if I was building a man from scratch I would avoid those.

mellongoose · 04/07/2021 20:34

Canadian.

Camomila · 04/07/2021 20:37

Posh English
Irish
Southern US, preferably on an man in uniform.

Am Italian so don't really find the Italian accent sexy as it doesn't really seem like an "accent" to me

EllaPaella · 04/07/2021 20:39

Scottish - especially Inverness and Edinburgh

thepeopleversuswork · 04/07/2021 20:39

Most regional or overseas accents have the potential to be sexy on the right person IMHO. Even the ones which most people dislike (such as West Midlands/S Africa). The only accent which has me absolutely running for the hills is a posh Southern English accent. Unfair, maybe, but to me they have powerful associations with entitlement, a sense of them being natural leaders and contempt for others.

ClareBlue · 04/07/2021 20:41

@coulditbecominghome

Dublin, French, Italian & southern.
Dublin? I suppose it takes all sorts, but Dublin?

I think we need to to a house swap holiday 😁

Not everyone speaks like Wikus I promise 😀

I'm Scottish and I like Scottish and Irish accents on a man.

ClareBlue · 04/07/2021 20:49

Romanian is the best but most Eastern European accents do it for me.

Essentialironingwater · 04/07/2021 21:00

Haha @isthismylifenow his role in black panther doesn't help things either. Maybe I need to watch some movies with friendly benevolent hunks

CaptainThe95thRifles · 04/07/2021 21:01

Yorkshire, naturally.

Bonus if inexplicably half-naked, wielding a sword* and calling everyone bastards...

*Or a rifle...

MrsJuliaGulia · 04/07/2021 21:06

I love a south Dublin accent. Think Craig Doyle (showing my age here).
Or a nice Kerry lilt.

I don’t know what Scottish accent comes from where but I love a soft one with no rolling r. I think it might be Stirling area.

Also like Upper East Side New York, think Gwyneth Paltrow.
