David beckham...

has an awful accent! I assumed hed sound posh (he is married to Posh!) but he sounds like a 19th century chimney sweep. Christian Bale as well. I find certain accents can make someone a lot less attractive. Sounding like a villain from a Dickens novel isn't sexy. Anybody find certain accents unattractive?

    I dislike:

    - The New Jersey accent
    - Southern accents. (They tend to make my skin crawl)
    - I'm not too crazy about Baltimore's Hun accent.
    - The New Yorker

    You know what's a sexy accent? Brazilian. There are so many unique flavours blended into that accent.

    I'm not sure I'd agree about those two, but there are certainly accents that are not flattering. The southern US accent makes those who speak it sound stupid. It just does not sound educated and literate, not to sat they ARE stupid; it just makes then sound that way.
    The Australian and Kiwi accents are similar. They sound very uneducated to my ear, whereas a proper British accent sounds quite educated and proper. Even though I've been to all these places and have many acquaintances from all these countries, I'd bet my feelings about these accents are from films and how many of the characters are portrayed.

    As long as I can understand you and you don't talk in a monotone I don't really care.

    I don't know anything about accents but what I do know is that David Beckham is a little too hot for me to handle. These soccer players... x.x

    • I find soccer players to be such ninnies! I was shocked during the World Cup the amount of crying and faking injuries... But I'm American so I guess were used to football players playing with concussions and all that stupid stuff.

        Can't lie about that - they do tend to exaggerate the injuries. But, damn. I'm not sure why they're running around kicking a ball when they could be supermodels or something.

    Sure, definitely normal to be a fan of certain accents and not of others - personally, I dislike*:

    Baltimore accent

    Texan accent

    Glaswegian accent

    N.Irish accent

    Chinese accent

    Vietnamese accent

    Thai accent

    Scouse (Liverpudlian) accent

    Swansea accent

    Danish accent

    *Tends to be when they're strong - mild versions of these accents aren't bad at all, and can actually be pleasant.

      I find mild accents to be disorienting. It's hard to tell if someone has a speech impediment or is using a second language.

        I like that gentle inflection, indicating your roots but without being too harsh or difficult to understand. But I guess it's all subjective.

          Their face usually gives away their roots.

    • There are so many different ones, for Britain being a tiny country.
