No worries at all, some accents I find sexy on a woman. French, South African, some Australian, the main one's.

Yes.

[what is there to explain?]

Seeing as the girl I'm dating right now barely speaks a word of English.. yes I would date a girl with an accent. Actually for me that adds points to her attractiveness. It's actually strange being with a girl that doesn't have an accent.

Oh believe me I do.

Taking a slight tangent...

When we moved to the States, we lived with my aunt and her daughters. The two younger ones would put me on the phone with their friends just so their friends could hear my accent.

There are many many Americans who can do a better job at a British accent than I can.

Half of the time having an accent is bonus points.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

.

You see a lot of people who say accents are sexy, but it makes me wonder if they'd actually want to be in a relationship with them or not. I bet a lot of them wouldn't.

Not to take away from people with accents.. just an observation.

I typically date 'foreign' women as I typically work outside of the US.

What a woman says is a million times more important than the accent with which she says it.

Some accents are ok and some aren't. I don't like southern accents on women; that's just how I am. At the same time though, I don't know if I could date a woman with a thick Staten Island accent. I'd rather take a cheesegrater to my face actually.

Lol. That's horrible.


To the Op yes I would date someone with an accent.

I find the British and Aussie accent hot.

Love Italian accent and Irish.
