Does a person's accent make them more/less attractive?

The easiest way for a Midlands person to become rich is to start pronouncing their T's. They're instantly viewed as a snobby bastard.

I don't know why, but a proper scouse accent is incredibly sexy to me. But a thick Dublin accent is a total turn off.

I'm the opposite. Love the Dublin accent-working class or genuine middle class,(loathe the affected 'dort' accent) but I can't even understand some of what scousers say and the accent sounds comical to me. Definitely not sexy.

You haven't heard a whiny, nasal sine wave accent until you've been to Weston in Limerick, bloody hell, I still can't make out what they're saying half the time as they really do speak very fast and run their words together.

Rubberbandits?

Depth of voice does it for me wherever it's from. I like Kirsty Young's voice or even Natalie J Robb (Scottish) and not so harsh. I used to go out with a girl (north Dublin) with a sexy deep voice. Must have been a great asset to the business. "Hello Grabbit & Rhunne solicitors, Emma speaking..." GRRRRrrr!

Moyross-style accent in Limerick just sound incredibly harsh, no matter what is being said.

A dublin accent ( either gender) is very well received in england btw

yet they would associate an ulster brogue with bombs, the manchester bomb was partly carried out by a dub i think

There are quite a few Donegal accents.. whenever you her 'hai' at the end of a sentence, it is usually the north or east of the county (also Derry and Tyrone).

Similar idea as 'boy' in Cork.

*you wouldn't want to be fussy about your grammar in Coppers btw

the hi thing is strongest in south derry as is the word surely after a sentence as is saying 'that's it' in a conversation to show that you agree with what the person has said, if you don't agree with what a person has said you would say "ah quate" meaning quit.

or if you strongly disagree with what the person said you would say "achhh" like the sound you make before coughing up phlegm.
