Why are French accents considered sexy?

    ... as in French people speaking English. I want to discount other factors such as how a person looks, the French reputation for sex symbols or what have you, and just concentrate on the sound of the voice. Is it really sexy, and if so how is it so?

    Well a French accent is sexier than any accent in this country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    French women tend to be the hottest imo. Plus it's very soft and fluid.. involves a lot of tongue movement...

    This is one of those mysteries that you can answer with the words "just because", leave it at that, and be grateful for it :D

    Are you suggesting that the French accent has a certain je ne sais quoi about it?

    Gotta disagree, there is definately something about the old Cork accent on men. French accent does nothing for me.

    It's a soft language which flows like music as every word links with the next. I'd disagree that they sound sexy when talking english though.

    A female Derry accent is beyond doubt sexier than a French accent.

    Well im from Cork and find that same accent does'nt fit well on women.

    A woman with a french accent is very sexy.

    I also find women with australian accents sexy as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Cork has about 7 different accents tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    They basically turned shouting "PISS!" at someone into a positive thing.They deserve the sexy cred for that alone

    its just the male cork accent i like.... sorry but the female cork accent is more a high pitched noice that only dogs will hear.

    I don't think French accents are sexy at all. And I have an American accent, so I know sexy! :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭gary the great


    A Southern American accent on a woman is unreal...

    Au contraire, mon amie.

    OP, French people are often considered to be romantic. Plus, alot of them smoke, giving their voices a low sultry tone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    any accent that makes a woman pout...has got to be classed as sexy


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,402 ✭✭✭✭Zaph

    Ahem, that's mon ami to you. :cool: :P

    I prefer the Cark accent to a blaydin Dooblin accent. I'm glad I've clung on to my Northern London suburb accent though :D

    They are considered sexy because... they just are ....there is nothing sexier than a woman with the French accent and the way they speak their broken English...so hot!!

    P.S:PillyPen: I don't know what part of america you're from, but.....American accents in general are not really sexy...well I don't think so really!

    the derry accent is nice. the non exagerrated d4 accent on young people is good. check out stephen kelly who plays for ireland he has this accent and even a bloke would be turned on by it....seriously.:P

    Don't worry mate, you're definitely not the only gay on the internet. :pac:

    i agree, the irish accent and celtic accents in general are a total turn off for me....there too coarse & aggressive to be classed as sexy

    "c'mon seamus lash it in to me now" yahooo!!:pac:

    Why is it that Spanish chicks have awful accents? Not all of them but a lot of them have these really grating accents where it sounds like they're 70 year olds who've smoked their entire lives and they all cluck at eachother at once.
