Northern accents are more neutral sounding than the south. That drawl is annoying to me. They speak so slow. We don't have all day to listen lol.

People in the Boston area has the most annoying accent in the nation IMO. The women in NY sound funny also.

Not all of us have that thick of accents. If you're going by stereotypical actresses on tv putting on a NY accent, most of us don't talk like that.

I agree with the New York statement. Women there sound so manly and the NE accent isn't too bad but I don't like it or the accent in Mississippi.

What? It does make sense
1) I said that women in NY sound like men
2) I said Boston accent is ok, but it's kinda annoying
3) Mississippi's southern accent suck to me.

How do they sound like men, is it their voice box/nasal cavity or the words they use?
