The advantage of being Irish

August 14 2014

We've had the threads about accents we love. Now I'd love to hear from people who HAVE those accents - Irish, Scottish, French, Spanish, Italian etc. How does your accent change the way people react to you and treat you? Does it make it easier to hook up with sex partners, do you think?

    Any man I have chatted to loves the fact that I am Scottish. They usually ask straight off "Do you still have the accent?" Im sure its the reason I am asked out for drinks/coffee, but Im not complaining. Yes, it def works for me

    A mixture of Dutch (mostly), English and American I think. I honestly have no idea what people think of it, have never really asked.

    and when I speak English I know I struggle and pause a great deal in my speech as I am constantly thinking is my English correct to what I am saying, so this makes me shy to converse At times, people have said they love my accent, but not over the much I have never found it to my sexual advantage that I am aware of

    I thought it was going to be about the superior qualities of the Gaelic people.

    People always say I sound like Arni (Arnold Schwarzenegger). I tell them Arni sounds like me…lol. Not sure if my swiss accent is a turn on. That's for the ladies who know me in person to answer… ;)

    Get asked where I come from because of the way I speak. Nobody ever picks that I'm from North Queensland and my family has been up there for 150 years.

    I have a strong Kiwi accent, which isn't a big turn on.....Too damn many of us I think lol....But I love love love accents, languages and cultures. My Argentinian partner speaks Spanish, which always melts my heart.... Ex hubby is Japanese, his family all in Osaka, and my last 2 long term boyfriends were from Italy and Afghanistan..... But the Irish accent...Yes, def a turn on, esp the Northern Irish, though even in English I can't understand a bloody word they say.... I have a N Irish friend, of average looks, who literally has to beat the women (and men) away with sticks... Miss C.xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    often get mistaken for being English - I think it's because of our origins and us having so many British people living here. I get asked it all the time when we travel overseas. I love ocean's accent! ;) An Irish accent is a put off for me

    Even though I was born n raised here, my mum in particular spoke mainly Dutch to me when I was growing up (before school) and so I picked up a bit of a Dutch accent in my English, enough of one to be noticeable to some people. Was reinforced when we went for holidays for 5 months just after I turned 13, and has always stuck with me. Some people can pick the accent, some just recognize I have one but not too sure what it is. But I don't speak true Aussie. Tall

    accents are like leather bucket seats in Australia. anything different is never a negativeI've spent half my adult life living and traveling overseas (especially Israel, scandanavia, Switzerland)I speak Danish, and it took my a good year to stop speaking Danish as a 'knee-jerk reflex' to my young nieces and nephews, since I always spoke Danish to children in Denmark (duh!) I helped raise my best mate's boy in Denmark when he split from his girlfriend and he moved to a different part of Denmark. I thrived on the responsibility (especially since my own childhood sucked), and it was the most rewarding time of my life

    People in the Scotland tend to say that the Highland accent is the easiest to understand, as its not too accentuated... I mean its a clean but still a very Scottish accent. It definately helps with the ladies, especially those from the US and Mid-Eastern Europe.... not so sure about the local ladies of Perth though.... the jury is still out on that one, haha :)

    I have a strong Irish accent, I find that it's sometimes an Icebreaker mainly with older ladies (which suits me) and those that live in regional areas outside the large cities. Doesn't work all the time but if a lady commented she could listen to me all night it could certainly be arranged.

    I love them. When I came home from Ireland I used to put on an Irish access and found people would say good morning to me. Not so when I spoke in my normal voice. Could it be because so many of us have Irish heritage or that the Irish have a reputation for friendliness that people respond to an Irish accent. Meanwhile I'm just hanging out to have a sweet Irishman talk dirty to me

    Shels a geordie... from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK...yes, shes been here a long time, and sounds, for all intents and purposes, just like the rest of us...but when shes aroused or angry, her accent becomes obvious...maybe its the liberal use of expletives, lol, or maybe its just how it goes, either way tho...its as sexy as hell

    ...or do I mean Derry air?I just met a lady with a strong Derry accent OMG what a turn on, the fact that's she's good looking, in good shape and has amazing auburn hair have left me hopelessly in LUST. She was very friendly too...but you get with people who are selling things.

    when I am ordering my fush & chups. Personally though I like most accents, they just seem different and interesting (as long as I can understand some of it, as not much point a woman talking seductively to me if I have no idea what she is saying, even if it sounds nice)

    A lot of different accents arouse my interest. I love French and Scandinavian accents. But my favourite is trying to read the accent of body language.
