Despise southern accents? How is it possible?

There are about 12 distinct southern accents and many blends. I'm sure we could find one pleasing to your ears.


Nope. Not one. Been all over the south & it was the worst 16 mos of my life. I hear a southern accent & I immediatley start looking for an exit.
 
i tend to like accents, so long as they're soft-spoken. i don't like a Belfast accent, a Brooklyn one, and some i've heard (possibly very badly recreated) Egyptian ones. i don't know all the accents... oh, i don't like the white south africaans sound and dutch either, and the jury's out about scandinavian. but it has to be the really hard Irish/Brooklyn accents that make me cringe most. i try hard not to 'hear' these when i speak with people owning them, and try to listen to what's being said rather than the noises.

i do tend to like most american accents.... from the almost english west coast to texan and... well, i guess too many.

oh! i have a little problem with a Mancunian accent too, sorry any mancunians out there. it's the hard sounds that do it.

.... well everything but a hic, southern accent

Now darlin, that's not a nice thing to say. ;)

It seems most guys, especially from other parts of America, tend to like my slightly suthehn Texas accent. <bats eyelashes>

For me, I love English and Australian accents. There's also something about Eastern European / Slavic accents that I really like in a guy. Somehow their accents just exude sex.

Enjoyed reading the replies... thanks. Was thinking I might wake up to some serious flaming.

I believe part of the intrigue for me is also due to use of local slang words or phrases. Of course, it depends on the demeanor, too. Friendly is a must. But listening to a cabbie from the Bronx telling off a driver in front of him for stopping at a yellow light has it's amusing qualities.

Southern drawl is definitely sweet-sounding, to me.
 
Mmmm I love any accent, secretly at work I tend to ask a few more questions than needed to those with accents just to hear them talk more :Drool:
 
just as in america there are a whole host of accents, the same goes for english/british ones. so when someone says they like an English accent, i wonder what the really mean? are you talking Jenny Agutter English? Mary Poppins? because the accents vary within the space of maybe even 5 miles. dagenham sounds different to romford and romford different to chigwell or havering.. and there's no more than 7 miles tops between those i imagine. and so it goes, right across the british isles.
 
I'm not into Lahndan accents, but most others are good for me... :)

Particularly like a blend of Floridian and North West USA. Very rare, and quite delicious... ;)

How can you not appreciate Mary Poppins' accent? :)

I don't even like Dick Van Dyke's cockney! ;)

Yorkshire accents are the best in a man...

We do appreciate it, too.
 
For some reason, ;) Scottish accents rock my boat(well OK,,maybe it is one in particular.(I luff the way you roll your r;s when you call my name) :kiss:
 
I like cognitive dissonance. A British/Scottish/Irish accent is always good, but they sound so much sexier when they´re exuding from the mouth of a darker-skinned woman. And I´ll do butt stuff for a Chinese-West Indian. Including the notorious "tossed salad". there´s nothing sexier in the world than an asian women with a "back a wall" accent.

Ladies and Gents... do you find yourself attracted to people with different accents from your own? Not necessarily head-over-heels-attracted, just intrigued, maybe. Any weaknesses for a particular one? I tend to appreciate foreign tones the most, Italian or Aussie.

I guess a fair question would be to those who might be considered to have a strong accent, do you get tired of being recognized for it?

Apologies in advance if this has been done before.
my accent..is very strong....sometime i wish i could blend in more....but then i see my daughter loosing hers...and i am saddened by it... :eek:

I love the Welsh accent.

Apparently though, I sound like a pigeon fancier. :rolleyes:

appen as ah fancy pigeon fanciers! :D
 
English, Aussie and Brooklyn Italian get me all the time.
French accents are passe today, almost anyone can fake 'em. Oh, but I like some of
French Islander accents, those are so sexy on soft spoken women.


And Sophie, it's ok if you don't like my Brooklyn accent. *shrugs and pout*
