Who Has Sexiest Accent In the World? The British Say It’s the British [Video]

What is it about a foreign accent? If we meet someone, their hotness factor increases by ten fold if they open their mouth and a sexy accent emerges.

But what accent is the sexiest?

According to Great Britain-based Time Out, it's the British accent. 

I think the reason most people find foreign accents sexy is because instantly you have questions to ask the person about their home country. This curiosity leads to conversation, which can lead to a deeper relationship.

Time Out magazine, which originated in London, asked folks in 24 cities for their thoughts on the sexiest accent, and turns out the Brits were dubbed “the world’s most dateable accents.”

And believe it or not, the results were pretty overwhelming. Number two, an American accent, only received 8.7 percent of the vote, with an Irish accent landing in third with 8.1 percent.

Top 10 Accent,s According to Time Out magazine

1. British (27 percent)
2. American (8.7 percent)
3. Irish (8.1 percent)
4. Australian (8 percent)
5. French (7.7 percent)
6. Italian (6 percent)
7. Spanish (4.9 percent)
8. Scottish (4.7 percent)
9. Latin American (4.1 percent)
10. Scandinavian (3.3 percent)

Why is Latin American listed as separate from Spanish?

I know Brazilians speak Portuguese, but is there a noticeable difference between Spanish accents coming from Spaniards and Spanish accents coming from Ecuadorans?

What do you think is the sexiest accent? Do you think certain people are sexier simply because of their accent?

Have you ever faked an accent because you thought it would help you get lucky? I wish I could pull that off. All I can think of when I think of faking a foreign accent is the famous Tunisian camel jockey scene from "Happy Days."

Here's another take on foreign accents from WatchMojo, which lean towards the Brazilians as the sexiest speakers.
