I find a broad Scottish accent very nice on men, a Southern US or NYC accent sexy on girls, an Italian accent charming, and a Cockney or Middle-English accent loathsome. What are your favourite or least favourite accents in English, and why?

My native language is Italian, and I'm proud I don't have an Italian accent when I speak English -- I don't like it! ;-)
When I traveled to Scotland, at the beginning it was a little hard to understand the accent, but once I got the hang of it, it was ok. It was funny. I found Cockney funny too.
Now I live in the USA and I have gotten so used to the American accent that I've even picked it up. I like it, it's flowing.
But I also really like a standard British English accent -- it sounds so sophisticated, or "posh" as someone already said.

I happen to like a posh and proper English accent on a man, like Hugh Grant's. I find it so sexy. I think no matter what the guy looks like, he is 150% more attractive with that accent.
I also find an Australian accent on a man very sexy. I don't like any other accent on a man. I don't like a French or Italian or Spanish accent on a man--or really any other foreign language, it's a turn off. I like an African or Jamaican accent on either sex, it's different and pleasantly unexpected.
I think a Spanish and a French accent on a woman is very pretty.

British accent rocks especially for guys, it's sexy!
Irish,Welsh or Scottish fascinating
US Eastern accent powerful
Southern drawl on the other hand is very sing song...sometimes it's iritating...

My favorite accents are British/English, or anything that derived from that. Such as Scottish, Irish, Australian, (maybe Wales), and some African accents. Because of some of them sound sort of British, lol:)

I like any accent which doesn't hammper in the communication. I believe that no accent is good or bad in itself. But we are the people to make difference.

I once sat in a Waffle House Restaurant in SC, with my 17 year old son eating breakfast. The waitress came over, and upon seeing that my son had already devoured his sausage, even before getting his pancakes, proceeded to tell him in that wonder full southern accent, how terrible it was that he had finished the sausages before she got him his pancakes, and how she was gonna have to take care of him .."You poor thang!" Now being from PA, this was like just having great sex and then being offered breakfast too! There is nothing like that southern drawl!!! God Bless 'em!

The most attractive accent is the patois. That is the Jamaican broken english that is so facinating that the world is trying to speak. It is the most wonderful language that anyone would pay to learn.
Read this,"Wha gaan man? Yuh ar rite? Gi mi som food? Se yuh lata. When yuh a com look fi mi? Patois a di bess language pon di eart."
That is what the Jamaican language is like.
