But I’m one of these people that post ‘Prosecco’ memes and ‘Did someone say Beveragino?’ on the dot at 5pm on Fridays ! 🤣

Oh that accent would make my fanny clamp shut!

Yeah, Cockney was not even at the bottom of the list of "sexy" accents, what the OP describes actually sounds quite grating. 😬

Accent = Blimey Guv’na!!! - even though he’s never actually used the expression “blimey, Guv’na!”

lol he was exasperated with a family member today and said in a resigned voice *ya can’t tell ‘er nuffink, can ya?!”

I love it -,he talks the same now as heifers met him

he’s an ex ‘cos we used to argue at one time about money, working hours etc

Is that supposed to sound ‘hot’? Well it takes all sorts I suppose.

Heifers?

Hey, listen, I get it. A significant ex of mine is Australian and there is just something about the way he talks that makes my head swim, it's just so incredibly hot to me. On the rare occasions that I've since talked to him I can barely register all the reasons that the relationship didn't work through how he sounds and looks. At the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with fancying an ex. They were obviously attractive enough to date, and attraction doesn't have to stop just because cohabitation didn't work out.

Wouldn't act on it though, if he is indeed a twat.

I think there's some sort of inverse 'hot man - ugly accent' graph to be drawn here. The hotter the man, the hotter the unattractive accent he has is. The more unattractive the accent is, the hotter the man using it has to be for the accent to be hot. Although there has to be a tipping point - past a certain level of hot accent, any man's use of it is elevated in hotness.

Beautifulweeds · 13/12/2024 18:15

Only you know the answer to this! How does he feel, why did you split up? It's quite common for exes to have a post get together, not saying it's the right thing to do, but it happens a lot. All depends if he hurt you and you're trying to move on etc x

I hear ya.

A very long time ago, I went with an acquaintance to see a specialist vet for her nutty dog. He was tall and had the poshest OxBridge accent (which was lost on her as an American) and I was ready to strip off. I knew that her dog was in the best hands but she didn't realise how good.

In a similar vein, male friends I've never fancied put on reading glasses, look over their noses and then I'm jelly. OR play a musical instrument like a boss and I'm ready to go home with them.

I like men who push their glasses back on their nose iyswim

We had a chat about our current lives - mine’s uneventful! - and had a look through some old photo albums. Omg when he was younger he was soooo cuuuute !! 🤣❤️

RedToothBrush · 14/12/2024 22:34

Just shag him then block him.

Get it out your system! Then do the sensible thing.

Haha the cockney accent is very ‘chef’s kiss’ ❤️

His parents were actually Irish so it’s quite an achievement for him to have turned out so ‘Blimey, Guv’nor!’

I guess the main thing I learned from our relationship was that if something’s blocking the drain you -

’Gerrit asaaahht!’

Quite a valuable life lesson.

It’s a good thing now and again to have sinful thoughts 😉

Oh yeah, a man should be filling you up, not draining you 🤭🤭

He does sound hot though

leia24 · 14/12/2024 22:41

RedToothBrush · 12/12/2024 18:16

He has to be beautiful to make up for being a twat?

It's the twat / beauty complex ....

Yeah this. I get botox and lash extensions to conceal the fact I'm a dickhead

Nothing wrong with a little walk, you can guague whether to briefly go there again 🤭

He was describing a friend who’d recently come into a small inheritance and said :

” you gotta spend it in an ‘olidy or summink i- I mean -,ya can’t tike it wivvya!’

I love that accent and am practicing my glottal stops as we speak !!
