When we think about attraction we talk about looks such as “how tall?” or “how thick?” or other things that may paint a picture about a man or woman. However, how a person talks and sounds can turn you on or off, it all depends on what you’re attracted to. Nothing gets women more turned on than a sexy voice and accent. Today we’re just going to discuss a few well-known accents and how attractive they are, nothing too heavy. If my descriptions aren’t accurate correct me in the comment section:
NY Accent
Going to a top-tier university I think I’ve encountered enough folks from New York to describe this accent. New Yorkers talk somewhat talk harsh or direct, it sounds as if they’re about getting an altercation with each syllable that they enunciate. If you need any references for a New York accent, check out Wu-Tang, 50 Cent, Denzel, or Jay-Z. What most women like about New York cats is the confidence that they have when they talk. As a guy who lived with 3 New Yorkers at one time, I can tell first-hand that New Yorkers will try to out talk you, but I ain’t going for that sh*t I’m from Chicago.
Chicago Accent
Land of gangstas, pimps, playas, and mild sauce(had to add mild sauce). Many people say Chicagoans sound country but I beg to differ. True testaments to both regions, South and Midwest, would be Kanye and T.I. , do either of these guys sound alike? No. Chicago people talk slow and rhythmic, we conjure up very slick phrases and we put the most emphasis on the chain of words we can throw together that sound appeasing to the ear, the best at this was the late-great Bernie Mac. Ladies, usually like us because of our suave bravados that can flip at the drop of the dime, if something real pops off.
Southern Accent
I hate to bunch up the whole south under one umbrella, because “Texans” don’t sound like the “N.O.”and they don’t sound like “ATL” people and those from the “ATL” definitely don’t sound like “Floridians” and those in-between, but this is a blog folks, not to be confused with a novel(I keep it short and sweet). Southern accents are mellow, not slick and rhythmic like Chicagoans. However, it’s baritone and syrupy, it flows and its raspy. I feel like some of the best slang and phrases come from down south, except these two words, “cold drank”. Some would tell you that southerners don’t sound educated, but any effective way of communicating with another person is good speaking and use of language.
DC Accent
“Shorty that bait”, “That jawn bad”, “Son, you tryna jone right now” say all of these phrases while holding your nose, with a slight slur. DC is a city full of Caribbean and African enthused north southerners if that makes sense. The biggest difference I have noticed between DC people and everyone else is that DC people, stress o’s with an u or oo- sound. Instead of “to” they might pronounce it “tu”.
Cali Accent
From being around a few Cali folk, most of the time their accents just sound very proper. If I meet a person at HU with no accent, I usually guess and am right about them being from LA. But the players from LA do have this certain “gooey” talk, it’s hard to explain. Like if I said Chicagoans talk slick, than Californians talk “sticky” with a certain bounce similar to a low-rider flexing in and out of each syllable- a better word may be, “animated”. Refer to characters such as: Snoop Dogg, E-40, Keek da Sneak, etc.
Foreign Accents
Caribbean Accent
Most of us love Caribbean accents. They sound like sex, a few women I know talk that “patoi” when they try to be sexy or it just slips out sometimes and it’s the sexiest sh*t ever. Everyone knows what a Caribbean accent sounds like so I shouldn’t have to explain this one.
African Accent
If you’ve seen “Coming to America”, Eddie Murphy can give you a rough version of what an African accent sounds like. Personally, I find some African women’s accents attractive as well. If you have ever heard an African cat try to holla at an American woman it might be the funniest thing you have ever seen. African cats are pretty damn persistent when they want a chick.
Spanish Accent
Spanish accents are intoxicating coming from a romantic interest. If you have ever been pursued by a latin man/woman and they speak that spanglish(as I call it) it’s like a drug. Honestly, that sh!t should be illegal for latino women to speak to men of different ethnicities because it’s irresistible.
Has anyone ever said you had an accent? What’s the sexiest accent you’ve heard? What accents make you cringe? Can accents actually make someone more or less attractive?

Hey. Africa is made up of 50+ countries. Kenyans don’t sound like Nigerians. Egyptians do not sound like South Africans. It’s a bit ignorant to lump African accents into one. Else we should also have just the one American accent, right?
I know it was ignorant of me to assume you’d think I was talking about Nigerians since 1) they are the largest group of African immigrants in America, 2) any parody/comedy poking fun of Africans are usually about Nigerians. I apologize.
I actually didn’t know that as I posted. I don’t live in the US. I picked countries that were east, west, north and south of the continent to show the diversity. I guess it was written for a US audience. Got it!!
Nothing like a Caribbean accent with a hint of British lol (VI, Antigua, Barbados, Anguilla, St Kitts, Grenada etc area)
Yeah a woman with a sexy Caribbean accent always gets a playa irie.
I used to date a Bajan and her accent was real Americanized until she got pissed…..it was hard to argue and swoon at the same time.
I can’t lie. I love a woman with a sexy accent. Spanish, British and Caribbean are my favorites.
Most men like my New Orleans accent. They are always asking me to say baaabby. LOL. I didn’t know it was such a turn on until I moved to MS.
I love it when men from New Orleans say baby.
i think that i have an accent. i grew up in the DMv area and my parents emigrated here from Nigeria in the late 70s. i don’t hear it in myself but when i talk to certain people they tell me about it. one i use certain vernacular. when i’m around people from the ‘urea’ i tend to say ‘young’ a lot. don’t know why but i do. lol
i think women from memphis have the sexiest accents. also women from southwest georgia. mainly the albany and macon areas. i blame my time living in tennessee.
Southern women have their charm as well. The stereotype of them being more voluptuous and kinder women also plays into that sex appeal.
so basically you sound like WALE. that’s an accent. i live in 757 and people say we have an accent. we don’t hear it because we speak it daily.
I love to hear women from other countries and their various accents. Regional accents, be it LA, NYC, Chi, Philly, etc…doesn’t really move me one way or another.
Being a NYer for most of my life, I’m sort of irritated by females w/ strong NY accents. Like you said, we have a brash way of speaking. So hearing that out a woman’s mouth all day? Doesn’t sound the sexiest. But if she’s from somewhere else and migrated to NY, the mixture of accents can be dope.
Accents don’t necessarily make a woman attractive to me. However, when she’s mad or hype and her true accent comes out, whew!
New York/ east coast accents are everything!!! As a Texan living in Cali right now, I think California accents are trash. Bay area men have high pitched feminish voices. It’s not cute. But that NY, yes!
I’m from Boston but i would say i sound closer to a New Yorker than like Ben Affleck or something
“The biggest difference I have noticed between DC people and everyone
else is that DC people, stress o’s with an u or oo- sound. Instead of ‘to’ they might pronounce it ‘tu’.”
This is Baltimore, not DC. (Let’s just go ‘head and nip this in the bud before it even starts: No, Baltimore is not the same as DC. No, Baltimore is not part of the DMV.) People from DC, and everywhere else, get on me about this all the time (“Say ‘do!'” “Say ‘to!'”).
I like New York accents on women to a certain extent. I like being somewhere else other than Virginia and hearing a park-girl accent. All my 757 people know what that is. Beyond that, I think Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi and Appalachian accents are great on women.
Every accent is rhythmic. An accent is one aspect that may garner quick attention, but attraction, to me, is more than the initial. However, when you add accent along with the cadence and tone it can be very alluring. There are some men whom I love to hear speak…they can read me kiddie books, and I’d enjoy it.
To me it doesn’t matter so much as being a New Yorker vs a Texan. I love those Southern Men and prefer their accents. As for other countries I love British, most Caribbean, Australian, and Spain type of Spanish accents the most.
women with N.O. accents are my weakness
Apparently i have an accent, I don’t think so tho. However accents or a sexy voice period can bump a woman up a few points. Just the other day I heard a British accent and immediately turned around and well……lets just say the added points still weren’t enough.
Accents def make things better, lol…
I talked to a guy once who was from a french-speaking African country (can’t remember the name). He was cute, but I got so tired of asking him to repeat himself that I ultimately passed on continuing to talk to him. It was that thick. But, when he spoke in french?! Man, listen, lol. I had no clue what he was saying but it sounded awesome, lol.
I dated a guy who was born in Guyana but spent the majority of his life in NY. My favorite mix of accents to date. On a scale, his face was a 6-7, body was about a solid 8, but that voice and man swag had me quite intrigued for a bit, LOL.
I dated a guy from the VI and that accent wasn’t smooth going down. At all.
One of my ex’s was born in the states but his family is from Trinidad. You didn’t really hear his accent unless he was around them. But, when it came out, I loved it.
Ultimately, that NY accent on a manly man is my fav. Seems typical but I love it, lol.
I’m from Baltimore. I don’t think our “accent” (or the DMV “accent”) is distinctive enough for discussion really, lol. Baltimore grammar? Yes, lol. Accent? Naw…
LOL you are always too funny!
i’ve always loved a nice accent. My top 3 are : British, Trinidadian, Southern.
Especially a sister with a british accent…Lawd have mercy.

British accents, man. Does it every time.
Accents can change things. To be fair, they are a much huger deal in America than anywhere else in the world. Having an English accent makes my life much easier in America, though I must say, I do like a clean and clear midwestern accent or a southern accent. The best voices on TV are Jon Hamm, Yung Joc, Anson Mount, Kelsey Grammer, Morris Chestnet.
patois*
and there are many caribbean accents jeez.
