1. Yes...
English and Scottish accents mostly. Sean Connery, for instance.

24. Oh god me too.
Not Natasha, actually, but the accent.

I can't even linger in this mode of thought for too long or my whole day will be shot.

6. Nah...
I prefer inarticulate ugly women with bad teeth -- who borrow their accent from Larry the cable guy.

41. Totally OT to Indi Guy
Have you see "I'm not There" yet? Got dragged to it last week and liked it even though I'm not a Dylan fan (Dylan is your avatar, right???)

I really wish I still did drugs, though, because it would have been WAY better if I were stoned...

23. Agreed...
Also...Penelope Cruz and any one of them Victoria's Secret models.

Honorable mention to Arianna Huffington, who's been making long vowels out of short ones for a long time now.

12. Mmm, yes, I likes me a tall, sexy blonde with a Brooklyn accent
the best of them all. Of course, I like brunettes and redheads too and they can have other accents. Hell, truth is, I'm just girl crazy, but the tall sexy blondes with Brooklyn accents do it for me the best of all. .

13. Too many accents to name that I like
but, if a woman is good looking, I don't really care about the accent all that much.

17. Boy....
Did that post bring up a memory I'd soon forget. I was 34 years old, met him in a bar (the first and LAST time I ever did that)went out with him twice before I found out he was married...(all I kept thinking was, my mother would kill me!) Jeez....he was "smooth" and I was to naive. I felt terrible about that.

18. Any foreign accent is fine with me, but I recently developed an affinity for Russian.
I work with some Russian ladies who do front desk duty, answering the phones and so on. A lot of our patients are Russian or Ukrainian, and I love listening when the girls say "Da. Horosho. Das vidanya!" I guess it takes a pretty lady to make Russian sound sexy... :evilgrin:

20. The Irish accent...
*sigh*

And good looking is great and all... but sweet and kind and considerate and genuine and generous and honest and interesting and a little bit crazy are all very great, too. :)

22. honestly no
Edited on Wed Dec-12-07 11:19 AM by pitohui
it doesn't matter for a one night stand but for real passion i need someone who can communicate easily and with style and wit, i myself have a thick accent so there's already enough of a barrier to communication without adding another layer of hassle

it's amazing how tiring it can be to have a real conversation with somebody who has a heavy accent and just can't "get" your humor or even simple clear statements without endless repitition and clarification

i guess this means the visuals matter less to me than they do to many people, for me, there is no real long-term passion or attraction if the other person doesn't have the wit and easy way of talking (a case of opposites attract, maybe! since i don't have these abilities in any language)

Maybe I can relate because I was once a member of a Catholic youth group
