I concur. But don’t get too hasty. I don’t know how it’s done in the South, but all throughout the West, when someone wants to depict stupidity, they lapse into an exaggerated Southern accent. I have pointed this out to people here, and it is obvious that they do it without thinking about it, meaning that it has deep roots in our “culture”. I could only speculate on where it came from – maybe that so many Yankees came out here after the Civil War? Any evidence there that I’m aware of is contradicted by other evidence.
So if we’re pre-conditioned (at least in the West) to automatically lapse into a southern accent as a means of depicting stupidity, without even realizing we’re doing it, does that suggest that men prefer dumb women?

It may be sexy, but don’t do it at a job interview in the Northeast. Buh. Bye.

Now that I think about it more; I’ve heard Dave Chappelle and other black-ish people use an exaggerated Northern accent (emphasizing the Northern and Northwest pronunciation of the letter “r” for example) to depict stupid white people, or Uncle Toms (but in that case it’s a race distinction rather than a geographic one) which is interesting considering that the slave states were Southern.

NY accent attractive? Your F”ing kidding me!
A NYC/Long Island accent is like nails on a chalkboard.
I do think a French Canadian accent can give a nice Southern drawl a run for the money.

It really depends. I’ll take the Georgia belle debutante accent. Y’all can keep the no-tooth backwoods meth-smoking trailer-dwelling accent.

Nawwwwh! You want to hear a woman say, “Let’s wawk and tawk about gawbage on Lawng Island!” After all, you know comrade Cuomo’s socialist paradise is much, much better for you! He’s a much better socialist scumbag, so you’re much better off! Really you are!”
BTW, fuck you, Cuomo, you communist cocksucker!

Where I work, there’s a woman who comes over the radio several times a day. The Long Island accent is so bad that I want to put my hands over my ears. Yeah, it hurts.

Got a feeling the ratings are based on exaggerated accents as depicted on teevee…like the syrupy, singular y’all. You will never, ever, hear a real
Southron talk like that. And I imagine similar scripting affects the rankings of those from N’Yawk, Joisey, Canuckistan, etc.

Well, that explains the rise of Megan Fox!
I guess the first time some perverted movie producer heard her say up close, “I’m fixin’ to whop you upside the head if you don’t back away”, that’s all it took – it was off to Southern Drawl Removal Camp for her.
And just where did those sweet talkin’ Cajun gals in Louisiana rank?

Whenever I speak (in my East Tn twang) in other parts of the country, people invariably ask me where I’m from and, frequently, to talk some more for them.
I am partial to the East Tn twang, as well as the Delta drawl of West Tn (and MS), but Nashville has so many immigrants that it’s accent is not particularly distinguishable to me (I suspect I may have a different assessment if I spent much time at Belle Meade Country Club, but they aren’t hiring busboys at the present).
For my money, thouogh, I would probably say that the most pleasant accent comes from people living in Augusta, Ga.

Only when it’s a lady Volunteer speaking. Dudes from any State are not attractive at all. In fact, they need to be quiet and let the women do the talkin’ 🙂
