Something in the milk ain't clean, I say. (I'm not saying Canadian guys aren't sexy.) As for British accents, they're still pretty sexy, except for the ones I hear on those Essex and Chelsea reality shows... | | | | | Hey, I actually quite like the accent of the chappie Hugo in "Made in Chelsea". Besides, he ain't arf a tasty looking geezer as well!  |

I dont think men really care what a woman sounds like or even if she speaks at all, as long as its a woman. That is good enough for them! |

Well only a man could answer you regarding the attractiveness of the female voice.
Personally I cringe when I listen to a high pitched strident voice, regardless of gender.
A low pitched voice with lilt and melody and a pleasant accent like the British one or the one in the southern part of the US or the accent around Toulouse, is so much nicer to listen to.
I think voice plays an important part in credibility when addressing a crowd for instance.

No, no, no! This is all wrong!!!
Where are the German men?
On the other hand, I see that the accent of Italian women is well positioned, hehehe |

I've met a fellow EFer from London the other day..and I was quite surprised, when she ordered a Bear (as in...bear, the animal)....upon asking her, why she wanted a bear  , she insisted, that it's a drink....that's when I began to understand. She meant beer  ..
