Do men usually find Southern accents attractive? (single, American, couple)

[isaackko]

as long as you don't live up to too many of the negative stereotypes about the south

if you pronounce "Greenville" as "GrAIn-vull," that makes my skin crawl.

otherwise , most of them are good.

Yes. Very.

I live in the South and generally find women with an accent to be attractive. I think it would be very dull if everyone spoke exactly the same way. I've also noticed a wide variety of Southern accents that seem to convey a different cultural or even educational background though. Certain Southern accents sound rather refined and even sophisticated while others who use poor grammer and slang don't make a very good impression on me. It varies from state to state in the South and that extends all the way to Texas and Oklahoma. I also think it's odd that some people who have lived in the South all of their lives have an accent that you can barely detect while others living in the same area have very strong accents. I've noticed that among my neighbors.

No, I don't. I associate southern accents with religious fundamentalism. Not sexy at all.

[Raging-Hetero]

No, I just don't like the sound of it. Maybe I have my subconscious prejudices against the south, but then again, I also dislike latino accents.

It all depends on how refined it is. A cultured Southern accent is a thing of lyrical beauty. A twangy, cornpone accent is an assault on the ears.

Yassir.

Of course, unattractive accents are pretty much universal. The most godawful accents in the world can be found in the working-class areas of the Northeast and the Great Lakes. Man, that's fingernails-down-the-blackboard kind of stuff.

Two words: Fran Drescher....if women in the South think their accent is the only one people find annoying, think again!
