There are certain accents that just make you swoon. But according to a new study, there’s one accent that reigns supreme in its ability to make people weak in the knees.
A poll of 11,000 people conducted by The Time Out Global Dating Survey found that the British accent was chosen ahead of an American accent with Irish and Australian behind.
Mashable reported that French was deemed the fifth sexiest accent followed by Italian, Spanish and Scottish respectively.
However, there was no distinction between regional accents, so the sexiness of a mild Southern drawl was mixed right in with the sultriness of a Long Island construction worker.
While French may no longer be the language of love, Paris is still regarded as the most romantic city where as London placed sixth. And while the French may not woo the world with their words, the study reported Paris has the world’s best dating scene, followed by Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Chicago.
So if you’re a Brit looking for love, head to Paris and you should be golden.

Anyone who has spent a fair amount of time online dating knows your greatest ally in the field is your bartender. They can provide a pep talk if you arrive early. And another if the night ends up a bust. Also, they control the flow of liquor. More
I have an awesome friend who just started dating an awful girl. Before they got together she befriended mutual friends solely to get him to start dating her, then ditched them as soon as she had him. Now she acts sulky at group events if he isn’t always paying her attention, and is rude to anyone who can’t directly benefit her, especially girls. She’s not someone I want to be around if I can help it. More
