Poll declares English accents to be the sexiest.

In a recent poll by TimeOut, 11,000 people across the globe (from London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo and Beijing) were asked about their dating habits, preferences and the particularities of their home city's singles scene. One question had participants rank the world's most appealing accent and—would you Adam and Eve it?—British came in at number one.

The English accent received a whopping 27% the votes from those polled. ... The American accent came in at second with 8.7% of the votes. Of course, just like in the U.K. (and any other country in the world), the U.S. accent varies greatly depending on region. As such, we're going to assume that voters were responding to the Upper Midwestern accent because nothing says sex appeal quite like the flat, drawn out vowels of my North woods people.

The Irish accent was ranked third at 8.1%, followed by Australian (8%), French (7.7%), Italian (6%), Spanish (4.9), Scottish (4.7), Latin American (4.1%) and Scandinavian (3.3%).

If anyone's looking to get turned on, I'll just be over here repeating the word "bag" to myself in my Wisconsin accent that 8.7% of you will find VERY appealing.

I think I could agree with this, though I'd probably rank French the highest. What about you? What accents get you randy?

i think it's more English accents have potential to be the best and the worst

[Booyakasha]

I don't know. I like exotic things a little, but come right to it, I like things I understand well best.

Like, my most recent gal and I were both Milwaukeeans. We talked about the same. We sounded right together. There was no communications barrier. That's good, innit.

I prefer my partners to speak in a rapid series of clicks, like a telegraph. Telegraphs. I f*** telegraphs.

I'm immature. I hate accents and scoff when I see something spelled like "colour." Not that I really care when it comes down to it, people are people.

[spooky scary bearatons]

color is a damned dumb way to spell that word and you know it, boy!

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

[Apiary Tazy]

Just remove the o.

Us can sound like Os. I mean you'll get weird looks spelling it "culur" but it'll probably catch on. Probably.

Pronunciation, too.

[I am nobody]

Most of those accents aren't really even a thing. Basically all of them (and especially Latin American) could refer to dozens of completely different accents.

[smol Kat]

you really needed a poll to tell you British accents are the sexiesterest?

(I was going to stop at "sexiest." really. But then I just kinda kept typing.)

My mother was JUST talking about this to me yesterday at dinner. American as second? Really? Do they specify what kind of American accent though? It breaks down here and there - southern drawl, Boston, New Yorker, etc.

EDIT: Oh, I just read the whole thing, never mind. Still. Weird.

[Softguitar]

Depends what region you're from.[DOUBLEPOST=1423599388,1423599343][/DOUBLEPOST]I like Scottish.

[Kil'jaeden]

The Midwestern-Upper South hybrid accent is the best American accent.

Which language is to be spoken is a factor as well. For example, I can tell if a person speaking some language has a local dialect or accent in it, but they probably all sound about the same if they attempt English. Or something. Maybe a lot of people just like English.

[Softguitar]

Nah, they only like Sherlock.

[smol Kat]

hey I liked British people before Sherlock made it cool, missy.
