To the GS girls - Does having a British accent make a guy more attractive?

Yeah it really does help with some foreign girls, i'm English myself and do know they love the accent but if you have a geordie or scouse accent forget about it.

Nope, I'm talking the sterotypical accent. Oh yeah baby :D 

I was just wondering, since I'm off to New Zealand soon :Ppsymon_05

Not really, at least not here in NZ. The NZ and British accents are very familiar, I doubt theyll care :wink:

They all seemed to love my accent. I'm from Scotland. 

i dig the accent and british guys in general. 

slightly unrelated, backpacking around europe was kind of funny - lots of guys thought i'd be really easy because they watch a lot of exported tv. seriously, can't imagine how often i heard that.

I think it does... but im not really a girl....

sooooo.... 

No, but then again im British so it wont have the same effect with me. I do prefer the British accent to the American one. My fav accents on guys are N. Irish and Scottish. The worst is (in my opinion) a really REALLY strong scouse accent.

ROFLMAO. Funniest thing I've read all day.

English accents and even speech are a big help if you go to country that doesn't speak English as it's first language (and also doesn't happen to hate your country).

Is there such a thing as a 'British accent'?

Britain is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Nothern Ireland- all of which have differing accents and dialects. Then there are a whole host of regional dialects within each. I think when people refer to a British accent they refer to that of a 'mockney', a blend of recieved pronunciation with the quirks ofthe East End.

Um....no.  We do know there are different accents and we've heard more than you think.

They probably mean an elecuted English accent, though I've found most foreigners don't pick up on some of the regional variations of accent unless they are very strong.

Well how can you say 'British accent' when there is no such thing? Obviously I know people in other parts of the world are aware of variations in the English language, mostly through music and cinema, I am not being patronising.

Except I do not, but at least the US is one country rather than a collection of four.

You didn't mean you specifically.  However, there is a huge difference in accents in the US.  More pronounced than the UK.  British accent, of course, refers to all four countries.  It would be incorrect to say someone from Scotland had an English accent....but not to say his accent was British.

I would hope there were regional variations of accent in the US considering it covers such a huge tract of land. I think if we look at things on a base level, not taking into account vernacularisms, then someone from Scotland would be said to have a Scotch accent rather than a British one.

Why all the hate for the term British?  It comes from the Celts who were cool.

The US has as shared sense of identity, the countries that make up Britain really don't.
