The Sexiest, Funniest, and Smartest-Sounding Accents in the World
Would you be more likely to hook up with someone with an ACCENT? 71% of us find them attractive. But it really depends on where the person’s from . . .
A new poll ranked various accents across a bunch of different categories. Everything from which ones we find sexiest, to the ones we just think sound the FUNNIEST. Here’s what America has to say . . .
1. The sexiest accent is . . . Australian. The rest of the top five are Scottish, English, Irish, and French.
2. The accent we find the least sexy is . . . a NEW YORK accent. American accents dominate that list in general. The rest of the five least-sexy accents are Boston, Midwest, Canadian, and Southern drawl.
3. The most confident accent is . . . Boston. So if you’re from Beantown, you might not sound sexy, but you do sound sure of yourself. A New Zealand accent is next, and then German. A Boston accent also ranked first for most assertive.
4. The most annoying accent is . . . Boston again. New York is next.
5. The smartest-sounding accent is . . . British. German ranked second.
6. The most romantic, most seductive, AND most beautiful accent overall is . . . French. Scottish also made the top three on all of those lists. (The show “Outlander” might have something to do with that.)
7. And finally, the funniest accent in the world is . . . Canadian. Scottish is next, and then Australian. A Canadian accent was also rated the most boring overall.
