1. Something about Irish accents. I don’t know what it is.

2. French for sure, I love French accents

3. Irish, Scottish, or Welsh are the most attractive.

4. I think British accents are attractive.

5. It’s a toss up between French and Russian.

6. British is like my panties drop immediately 🤣 I mean but they already speak English lol 😆😂

7. My Siri is Australian. My husbands is South African

8. Irish as well as Glasgow is okay, most English accents sound like a dying cat is trying to fight a chimney. Other Scottish accents range from highland games to incomprehensible.

   Argentinian is up there along with Brazilian.

9. Iranian women speaking English 👌

10. Icelandic – like Bjork-style Icelandic accents. I used to know a guy from Iceland but he just sounded American when he spoke English so that wasn’t very exciting.

11. This definitely seems more individual likes and dislikes. Not something an entire country can agree on.

    For me personally it’s more dependent on the person themselves. Although there are some accents I really don’t care for. I can’t say I prefer one over another.

12. Why is my post being down-voted so much? Do Americans NOT like accents?

13. French, Jamaican, Some British.

14. All the British accents. Followed by Australian, New Zealand. Ireland.

    Beyond that, French and Russian/Slavic.

    I do love a Spanish accent, though.

    Really Americans do love accents. It doesn’t really matter where they’re from. It’s a stereotype that’s very, very true.

15. I like Australian, NZ, and some South African accents.

    Honorable mention to Geordie if it’s a female, I find it charming.

16. Spanish accents are pretty hot. Moreso if it’s Spain rather than Mexico.

17. Unoriginal, but French accents are hot.

    I know a few guys into Australian accents too.

18. Eastern European accents just hit different to me.

19. Eastern European or East Asian for me.

20. Outside of other native English speakers, a lot of Americans will say it’s mostly Western European accents that they find attractive because that’s what American media says is attractive.

    There is a strong stigma against accents that are farther away from western-european cultures. This sub and mainstream America isn’t ready to have that conversation.

21. It’s really more specific to that person’s own accent than the whole accent of where they’re from for me.

22. Any kind of UK accent, literally any. My boyfriend is from Liverpool and while in the UK the “scouse” accent is sadly looked down upon, I joke that in the USA he could get away with crime just by opening his mouth.

23. Friend is Australian and from Perth. His voice is much soothing.

24. New Zealand for me

25. Just about any of them.

26. Russian, Brazilian, Japanese

27. My siri is set to Australian. However, I just love hearing accents in general (even the US ones).

28. Italian, but I’m biased. As someone who speaks both, but was primarily raised in the States, the way Italians speak English is simultaneously charming, endearing and hilarious. For the majority of Italians speaking English, it’s a struggle to not add a vowel sound to the end of words, haha. I just find the Italian accent to be very attractive from women.

29. Scottish. Australian. German. French. Russian. Really most of them

30. As far as the UK, I do love accents that are borderline unintelligible, like thick Scottish or Cockney.

    As far as accents in general, I’m a sucker for a Colombian accent. Accents from Mexico, on the other hand, I find to be really comforting. It is the accent I hear the most, so it feels familiar.

31. Scottish, French, Swedish, German

32. Wife is liberian so that at this point.

33. I’m not sure if I find Colombian accents hot, or just think Colombian women are hot. Either way, that’s my answer.

34. I love the accents of Scotland, Ireland, Wales. Most attractive would have to be Australia…… source Adam Demos💕
