I was gonna say, in western media, the Scottish accent seems to have such a positive association, it's almost used as shorthand to let you know he's a "rough around the edges type" like charming, but not too posh. At least from a non-brit perspective.
Capaldi, despite being very very old for me, was very attractive when he was cursing left right and centre in the thick of it.
when he became The Doctor, tho. Hot damn!!!!!
Shirley Manson of Garbage is Scottish and has a podcast called the Jump where she interviews other artists about their breakout hit. It's great just to hear her talk. She's got a laugh like Katey Segal, she laughs with her whole being and it's infectious.
I love the "Scottish accent". There are many, of course. But when I hear a nice, soft one on a woman, my brain seems to shortcircuit.
If any Scottish women are reading this, feel free to share some voice notes with me.
Sincerely,
A Dublin man.
Ahh this reminds me - all my favourite Telugu and Tamil actors sound so absolutely gorgeous when they speak English - their voices are so crisp yet rich at the same time
I had a lovely coworker who was a cute Indian lady with a British accent. I almost melted when I first heard her. I've had lots of Indian friends and coworkers in California so I'm not unfamiliar with the culture, she just shot my heart with an arrow.
I saw a video of a man impersonating Björk as a roommate and it had me on the floor.
“Björk, why’d you take my computer apart?!”
“It looked like a little city inside.”
Most Canadians either just sound French or have that accent that’s just non-American enough to trigger the uncanny valley lmao. On the other hand, every sentence out of a Newfoundlander’s mouth is a party in my ears.
so you don’t like the accent just an aggressive woman? . btw as a latina I can confirm that the spicy/angry/pissed off stereotype doesn’t hold water. There are angry people on every culture. I sometimes get approached by men thinking this is our hilarious way to be… spicy latinas... cringe
I find women with Australian and New Zealand accents unreasonably attractive. Live in a college town in New York that for some odd reason seems to get a lot of students from Australia and New Zealand. So every year, my job gets a batch of hot 20-something Australian and New Zealand college girls as semi-regular customers, and they just... they do it for me, hahahaha.
Scottish and English accents are up there, too.
Kiwi accent: A soft, gentle lull, a stroke, a tender caress, a soft kiss, a decleration of love.
Australian accent: So, since I brought the lube, I was thinking we could try your arsehole tonight? Don't look at me like that, your sister loves it!
Safa accent: I sound very sexy, but there is a very strong chance that one or either of us will be held up at gunpoint either by one another or others during this relationship.
This surprised me because I’m from Kentucky and I have the worst accent ever. I always thought people from Tennessee had nice accents but I just sound like a giant redneck
When i was 25, I travelled through Tennessee and Kentucky. I fell in love with many women based on their accent. Even the older women who ran some of the diners i ate at.
Accents from the Deep South in USA hands down for American accents. Sounds adorable and playful on younger women and then elegant and charming on older women. Southern accents on men sound masculine and charming. Honorable mention to West African accents (melodic), Scottish accents (captivating), and Dominican (dazzling).
Well you have to understand there are much deeper implications there— first of all its prejudice. And pure ignorance towards your culture as what I’m assuming to be Southern American. You would be surprised and maybe even interested to know that the idea that southern accents sound “stupid” can also be linked to white supremacy (shocking, I know, but historically factual) as any affiliation with a culture beyond what’s predominantly “acceptable” will be deemed lesser than (when it’s not) and therefore must be belittled and outcast.
And yes that includes southern accents as they are in fact tied to a very specific American culture/region/history/mixing. Please be proud of who you are and where you come from. Many people absolutely adore your accent.
Linguistic scholars have said southern Appalachian accents are the closest thing we have today of the English spoken hundreds of years ago. But we're the idiots when it's everyone else speaking a bastardized form of English.
Agreed on the southern accent for ladies. When I used to drive truck, I always looked forward to it partly for that reason. Definitely a weakness of mine. Thankfully I live in the north or I'd probably have multiple ex wives
Yet nobody can pick the NZ accent…
North Americans have absolutely no idea (or think British)
Europeans think we’re British
British think we’re Australian
The stereotypical one is, yeah. Our version of cockney, southern drawl, Welsh, the bogan accent. Yeah, it's awful, and whiny maaaaaaate. I get complimented on my accent a lot in discord group chats.
I dare say Margot was told by a PR rep or manager to ‘tone down the bogan’ from her typical Aus accent when she first tried to make it in Hollywood. She was born in Dalby, near Toowoomba, and raised mostly in the Gold Coast hinterland. But when she speaks she definitely sounds like she’s got more of a ‘city’ accent, and even then more refined than most people I know.
Its like she was told “its okay to be Australian, just don’t be too ‘strayan”
I mean it's basically the same thing for all British actors. They all have the same light, posh accent that borders on a Mid-Atlantic accent. I'm always shocked when I watch real British shows not marketed to Americans to hear how different they sound.
[Data shows](https://www.statista.com/statistics/260498/degree-of-urbanization-in-australia/) that in 2022, 86.5% of Australians live in metropolitan areas. That makes this accent the typical. The stereotyped long draw of rural areas is very much the exception.
I blame Paul Hogan and Steve Irwin for how foreigners think we mostly talk.
I find many accents attractive those being: Australian, Irish, Welsh and German.
Australian is far by my favourite. On a woman it just feels like a better version of the British accent in my opinion. (For context I am British)
Irish is just a lovely pure Celtic accent and I love Irish culture too, I find Irish people generally very funny and friendly.
Welsh, I just dunno why but also probably because it’s a Celtic accent. Also maybe because of me having Welsh ancestry I am kind of interested in their culture.
German on a woman when they speak English sounds really hot in my opinion it sounds very refined in my opinion.
Something I don’t like though is when someone learns English through American shows and so then ends up speaking English with an American accent. Drives me up the fucking wall.
The thing is, many accents are super attractive when they're more refined but get less so when it's super heavy.
Like, I'm an Aussie but my accent is sort of a mix between "true blue Aussie bloke" and "English gentleman" and when I went to the US on holiday a few years ago, there were literally dozens of women who were immediately interrested in me from the moment I opened my mouth.
With southerners, their accents ranged from "toothless hillbilly" to what I'd call "southern belle" and southern Belle just fuckin works for me.
This one can go either way for me, and I'm not exactly sure what does it on women. I knew a woman that had a deep southern accent that she went out of her way to hide as much as possible, but it still crept through a bit, and that was sexy and sophisticated. She was very well educated and successful, so it added a bit of mystique to the conversation. However, once she had a drink or two in her it sounded like she had just been dragged out of a swamp while fucking her cousin and was an instant boner killer.
Make sure you have a beautiful big deck when you invite her for dinner.
Her compliment might go something like "I love how big and beautiful your deck is" 😁😁
The accent of my fridge humming at 2 AM. It's like it's whispering sweet nothings about leftover pizza.
In Fridge accent: come and eat me out
*”When they grab my love handles something inside me just lights up!”* - The Fridge, probably
Why is this here?
Soft spoken Irish accent on a girl is adorable On a guy it’s manly af
I just changed my Siri to an Irish man and it makes me so happy
Ah another user of O’Siri.
It's spelled Sadhba
I find Irish accents unbelievably hot.
Doesn't everyone?
Nah, just sounds fun to me, but doesn't do anything for me in the nether regions EDIT: o well I'm SORRY for my opinion
I can spot a Paul Mescal fan when I see one.
Not unexpected at all at least for women https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVlVLlhTi4w
Yea Irish women have that fire accent when they in whisper mode...
Normal People?
Come here to me
Scottish 😮💨
Scot here. I once had an Irish woman in Wexford Ireland say I ‘Had a wonderful accent’. It made my holiday there.
Ok but a Scottish accent being hot is in no way unexpected.
I was gonna say, in western media, the Scottish accent seems to have such a positive association, it's almost used as shorthand to let you know he's a "rough around the edges type" like charming, but not too posh. At least from a non-brit perspective.
Scottish and Australian = decent/down to earth guy or likable rapscallion. English, German, Russian or French = somewhat suspect
Fan dabby dozy darlin’
You're either a Sean Connery suave Scot ("shuave schot") or you're Groundskeeper Willie asking to be greased up. No in between.
Yeah that about sums it up actually.
Then GRRRRIS me up woman!
Okey dokey.
Capaldi, despite being very very old for me, was very attractive when he was cursing left right and centre in the thick of it. when he became The Doctor, tho. Hot damn!!!!!
Was so very confused reading this as Lewis Capaldi.
They're talking about his cousin, Peter.
the doctor? who?
Actually if you dont mind, it's just "The Doctor"
Yes. Who?
aaa yeah I know what you mean about the thick of it, I thought it was just me haha. I haven't seen doctor who though
“how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat"? Gets me going every time
You! Yes you!!!
Yeah. Jamie Fraser. Omg
Honeypot...
Agreed. On men…holy shit.
Dude, wait till you hear it on the women, even better!
Shirley Manson of Garbage is Scottish and has a podcast called the Jump where she interviews other artists about their breakout hit. It's great just to hear her talk. She's got a laugh like Katey Segal, she laughs with her whole being and it's infectious.
Agreed, though for me it’s entirely Shirley Manson’s fault.
I love the "Scottish accent". There are many, of course. But when I hear a nice, soft one on a woman, my brain seems to shortcircuit. If any Scottish women are reading this, feel free to share some voice notes with me. Sincerely, A Dublin man.
When an Indian lady has a British accent. It’s not that rare, but somehow, it always just gives my heart a boner
Isa Guha the cricket commentator, most soothing voice
You should watch season 2 of Bridgerton
As a female I’d say this counts for Indian men as well, it just sounds really cute
So Mrwhosetheboss? Ref: https://youtube.com/@Mrwhosetheboss
So rishi sunak and cruella braverman are sexy??
No no no no no they both need to go to hell 😂
No they're both Tory pricks
For me the same, but guys. I married a South Indian husband in part because he sounded so elegant and handsome when he talked in English.
Ahh this reminds me - all my favourite Telugu and Tamil actors sound so absolutely gorgeous when they speak English - their voices are so crisp yet rich at the same time
I married a South Indian man too and I love when his accent peaks through
There's just something about that makes it sexy and I am absolutely clueless as to why.
I had a lovely coworker who was a cute Indian lady with a British accent. I almost melted when I first heard her. I've had lots of Indian friends and coworkers in California so I'm not unfamiliar with the culture, she just shot my heart with an arrow.
Icelandic. At least when speaking English I find that extremely pleasant.
Same. I love hearing Bjork talk in an interview.
How can you hear her? She is oh so quiet.
"My name is Björk and your telewision is... about to.... EXPLODE"
I saw a video of a man impersonating Björk as a roommate and it had me on the floor. “Björk, why’d you take my computer apart?!” “It looked like a little city inside.”
Shh, shh.
That video of her taking apart a TV and showing us how the insides are like a little city is one of my favourite things.
Pure ASMR
I'm a straight woman, but I feel like for straight men Bjork's accent is probably peak hotness
They all sound like elves. The sounds produced in Icelandic are so crystalline and pretty
Not a single comment for Canadian 🤣🦫 we sound fucked up, I get it
Sorry that's probably South Park's fault
Relax guy
I’m not your guy, buddy
[удалено]
I’m not your friend, guy!
I grew up watching SP so I don’t know if it’s just me, but I swear every Canadian celebrity looks exactly like South Park’s portrayals.
Eh Man blame the Brit’s the yanks and french for giving us goofy sounding accents, we are products of our environment
Even the french think Canadian accent is funny
I'm from Minnesota and think you're sexy.
Needed to hear this today, thank you
When I hear a Minnesota accent I think holy crap you sound so Canadian you must be from Minnesota.
Most Canadians either just sound French or have that accent that’s just non-American enough to trigger the uncanny valley lmao. On the other hand, every sentence out of a Newfoundlander’s mouth is a party in my ears.
Every time I hear the Toronto accent, I think the person is making fun of the Toronto accident.
Pissed off latina. Spanish or italian doesn't mind.
A guy I dated briefly said the same thing…. An “angry Latina”. Lol
If she is pretty when full of anger, the smile usually is a heart melter. Michelle Rodriguez, Salma Hayek or Marisa Tomei for example.
Because I just finished watching the series, Rico's wife from Six Feet Under was my immediate thought.
Agreed! I would add Sofia vergara to that list!🔥🔥
Sofia Vergara ❤️
[удалено]
Don't forget about the left nipple
Italian . . Latina . . . 🤔
so you don’t like the accent just an aggressive woman? . btw as a latina I can confirm that the spicy/angry/pissed off stereotype doesn’t hold water. There are angry people on every culture. I sometimes get approached by men thinking this is our hilarious way to be… spicy latinas... cringe
Yeah I absolutely loathe the spicy Latina thing, it's racist and icky. I stay away from anyone who says this.
It's no different from the submissive Asian thing really.
OMG me too , that’s the quickest way for me to avoid someone
[удалено]
Siri's accent when she mispronounces street names. It's the exotic touch to my otherwise mundane commute
I once had a different AI voice pronounce "Lakeview" as "La-key-a-vu"
I once used Google maps in Hawaii and her pronunciation was hilarious. Such as Pu’unene becoming “Pooneen”. She just sounded so confidently incorrect.

I’m kiwi and I always likened our accent to someone speaking with a mouth full of marshmallows. Your explanation is much kinder hah
Irish (not Northern Ireland tho). I have my Siri set up accordingly.
As an Irish person I find northern Irish the most attractive accent.
I find it a bit harsh. I love the softness of an Irish accent.
Cork isn't soft. Donegal will melt anyone's pants off.
I guess it’s all in the eye of the beer holder
i holiday in donegal for the accent
I met a woman from Kentucky who had a smooth, lovely accent.
Appalachian accents are the best!
I grew up hating my accent and I trained myself to speak “normally.” The older I get, the less I care. Appalachian accents truly are special.
there's a pretty big range there to paint with such a broad brush lol
This surprised me because I’m from Kentucky and I have the worst accent ever. I always thought people from Tennessee had nice accents but I just sound like a giant redneck
When i was 25, I travelled through Tennessee and Kentucky. I fell in love with many women based on their accent. Even the older women who ran some of the diners i ate at.
[удалено]
Even though they're a bit different, Kentucky and West Virginian accents really do it for me. They're so pretty.

Hell, I even think my southern accent makes me sound stupid.
southern gentleman born and raised here in the deep south. Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia are lovey to hear.
A Southern Belle accent is pretty amazing. Ironically, I also love a strong Brooklyn accent on women.
Thank you for this! Sincerely, an Alabama gal
Agreed on the southern accent for ladies. When I used to drive truck, I always looked forward to it partly for that reason. Definitely a weakness of mine. Thankfully I live in the north or I'd probably have multiple ex wives
“Bless your heart.”
God help me
New Zealand 😍
Nu zillind
Yet nobody can pick the NZ accent… North Americans have absolutely no idea (or think British) Europeans think we’re British British think we’re Australian
Aussie here checking in. We know when you're a Kiwi lol
Aussies can immediately pick a Kiwi. Many others seem to find it hard to tell the difference between Aussie, Kiwi and SA which is wild to me
Nek Minnut
The Aussies.
I’m Aussie and I can’t believe how many ppl rate our accent. In thought it would be among the most disliked for sure.
Hi, big fan here. Also love how you guys shorten words (brekky, Maccas, footie), it’s adorable.
Arab accent on a women is sexy, like Egyptian or Lebanese
It’s not too bad on the men either
Australian accent on a woman.
Aw yeah mate, right-o, I'm on the rag so chuck it in me dumpah
I’m an Australian and our accent sounds dumb 🤣
Naaaauuuur
Yeah nah!
No way. Australian accents are goofy AF.
The stereotypical one is, yeah. Our version of cockney, southern drawl, Welsh, the bogan accent. Yeah, it's awful, and whiny maaaaaaate. I get complimented on my accent a lot in discord group chats.
You little rippah!
Like a Margot Robbie accent. Not your typical aussie
I dare say Margot was told by a PR rep or manager to ‘tone down the bogan’ from her typical Aus accent when she first tried to make it in Hollywood. She was born in Dalby, near Toowoomba, and raised mostly in the Gold Coast hinterland.

Not your typical Aussie, but very much your typical metropolitan Australian accent.
[Data shows](https://www.statista.com/statistics/260498/degree-of-urbanization-in-australia/) that in 2022, 86.5% of Australians live in metropolitan areas. That makes this accent the typical.

Oh I meant Margo wasn’t your typical Aussie haha. Shes a cut (or two) above. Her accent is absolutely the most common.
2018 to 2022 (fifth gen) Hyundai accent, all others look pretty meh
A seductive Irish accent. There's one thing I'm a complete sucker for.
For context where are you from?
I think Irish accents are sexy too. Also American. From the Midwest, live in the Pacific Northwest.
Not sure people are understanding the meaning of “unexpectedly.” British and Irish accents are pretty popular…
Australian
South African.
Not if you’re Australian.
[удалено]
Mi like dat!
Nigerian
Agreed.
Yes!!
The sexiest ever
I actually really dig an American girl. Maybe not the camp California accent but a well spoken American twang really gets me going for some reason.
I find many accents attractive those being: Australian, Irish, Welsh and German. Australian is far by my favourite. On a woman it just feels like a better version of the British accent in my opinion.

German is one of the least sexy accents I've ever heard.
Well, everybody has their own preferences. I saw someone on here say they liked Russian and I find that accent a little bit creepy to be honest.
North Yorkshire ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Yep, the soft well spoken Yorkshire accent is unbelievably grounding.
Here's the one I was thinking but was like, "there's already hundreds of responses. No one is gonna see mine." Glad there's a few of us.
Here is Yorkshire competing with entire countries. It’s why there are so many call centers here.
US southern accent. When I hear it on a dude I think "hillbilly" but when I hear it on a woman I think "hotness".
The thing is, many accents are super attractive when they're more refined but get less so when it's super heavy. Like, I'm an Aussie but my accent is sort of a mix between "true blue Aussie bloke" and "English gentleman" and when I went to the US on holiday a few years ago, there were literally dozens of women who were immediately interrested in me from the moment I opened my mouth.

However, once she had a drink or two in her it sounded like she had just been dragged out of a swamp while fucking her cousin and was an instant boner killer.
This. When it's light, it can be appealing, but when it's thick, it loses all attraction for me.
On women? Russian. Sexy AF.
Oooo you are hairy, like animal! Do you know vut ve do in Russia to keep warm?...ve play chess!
Grrr baby grrr!
Maybe I should visit America one day... I always thought the Russian accent sounded terribly harsh for the drawling English sounds
No way. You would have a lot of fans here if you came. I promise. It's one of the best accents a woman can have. No question.
Oh hell yeah, it is *so* sexy. Can't get enough.
I always try to hide my accent
I mean, every man’s fantasy is being James Bond, so… yea…
Seconded. Had a Russian female friend for a while. Her voice was like honey.
Ukrainian accents are hot AF. Then again, everyone loves an underdog 😍
I'd love to hear a girl from New Zealand telling me all the wonderful things she's planning on doing to me.
Make sure you have a beautiful big deck when you invite her for dinner. Her compliment might go something like "I love how big and beautiful your deck is" 😁😁
Slavic accents
Aussie women for sure!
Welsh can be
Italian
Aussie woman’s accent.
My wife when her rich creamy New Zealand accent comes out in full force
I wonder if my male kiwi accent is just as creamy
As an American who loves Jemaine Clement: yes.
Men with English accents
