Why are English accents so sexy?

Teehee. I've always wondered this myself.  I suppose it's because of what we associate with English accents; that is, English people and things and England itself.  For me at least, England is the home of nearly all my favorite writers, actors, artists, etc. Of tea and biscuits, Arthur Dent, and Hornbeam trees. Oxford College. Harry Potter.  It's a place of Kings and Queens and Shakespeare.  My feeble United States-ian mind doesn't bother to separate English fact from English fiction all the time. But come on, what's sexier than Shakespeare?

The Cockney and Scouser accents make me laugh (in a good way).  I love the Geordie accent but it doesn't appear in many movies  So I guess I will have to go for the Yorkshire accent.  Now if you had said the UK I would definitely go for Scottish.

Like most people - I think it's quite unattractive. A recent survey showed that accents from the Midlands, Liverpool and Manchester are the accents people find the least trustworthy, where those from Yorkshire, Scotland, and (perhaps surprisingly) London are the most trustworthy. Unfortunately there are regional British accents you can get away with anywhere, and those you can't, and each accent has different connotations. Ever noticed how when they're trying to advertise household products, or appeal to the everyday person, it'll be a Yorkshire accent, or maybe a Scottish one, and when they want to sell you something seen as "sophisticated" or upmarket, they bring out the flat "BBC English" (unnaccented as some would say)? Times change though - 50years ago an Irish accent in Britain would have got you instantly barred from many places, whereas now it's associated with (and used in advertising to denote) someone who's friendly and down-to-earth. Be curious to know what the Brummies think of their own accent, as a lot of people will try to hide an accent if they move elsewhere...

Some people's accents are very malleable.  These people are usually great language learners and very good mimics.  Actors, for example.

Perhaps because the French expected me to speak perfect French.  I went a few years ago, and speak decent (but admittedly not fluent) French, but I got snickers and guffaws every time I mispronounced or misconjugated a word.\n\nI treat the way I got treated.  Parisians were jerks, I'm a jerk right back.\n\nAnyway, I happen to think that a French accent, on a woman at least, is quite attractive.  So I'm perfectly fine with accents.  And English is a hard language to learn, sure.  But don't expect Americans or Britons to be better that other people just for that.

Nope, not at all. Everyone likes a little mystery...and an accent is one more "mystery" we seem to be attracted to.\n\nI happen to think the South African accent is the most beautiful in the world...followed by Ukrainian. Why??? Who knows!!

Just as Americans love British English, Many Brits love to hear the American dialect because it's different than what they speak. Americans DO have an accent, and it varies by geographical area just like in England. Someone from the Lake District isn't going to sound like someone in London ... just like someone from Boston isn't going to sound like someone from Texas ... \n\nAlso, based on geography, the dialect changed with the influx of new immigrants into the USA after our independance from England. The East coast has alot of mixed European dialects mixed in with "English" and the south has alot of "Spanish/French" mixed in with English. \n\nBut yes, British accents are Hot, and Scottish accents are even hotter ... just look at Ewan Mcgreggor ;)
