Ok, are any of you put off meeting other swingers because of the sound of their voice?... Do you have a particular accent that just grates on your nerves whenever you hear someone speak.?
For me it's Scouse accent, and recently did the fem to fem phone veri and I could hardly bear it hearing 'alrigh, when's da bote of yoos thinking of seein us, cos we only play on when's diz'... (Wednesdays).  |

That was why I started my answer with the word opposite, meaning I was offering an opinion which was not a direct answer to the question. I didn't know that wasn't allowed.. |

No, that's fine. I was simply looking for answers to the question I asked.  |

"Brummie accent grates on my nerves - why can't they speak normally instead of sing-song talking?
Retreats to bunker with tin hat on!!  "
For the purpose of swinging then OK, but I would struggle with the Brummie accent regarding a relationship, I know that appears really shallow.

"I like any thay are different, so love English ladies. Most seem to like my Irish brogue too"
Love the southern Irish accent. Northern Irelands is harsh. I remember asking an Irish chap whilst playing golf, where he was from, and he proceeded to tell me what his favourite golf club was.!..
ME: So, where are you from?
HIM: Nine Iron (at least that's what it sounded like)

"I have a Yorkshire accent
D'you drink Kerka Kerla?
Wolf
So true, I do "
Once had a Glaswegian girl as me if I fancied a 'Blue Jawrb'. I declined as I didn't twig what she meant till a while after after. I thought next time I'll bring an interpreter.

Personally I love the scouse accent (Mr is scouse) but there are varying degrees of it and even though I live in Liverpool there are occasions when I'd like to tell people here to learn to speak properly. Depending on where is the city you are the accent changes.
Can't stand a brummie or bolton accent though xx |

"I have a Yorkshire accent but because I lived down South for 5 years its a bit mixed now 
I don't think there is any Accent i don't like "
I'm a Yorkshireman, from Donny, and lived darn sarf now for too long. Whenever I go back to Donny to see my Dad he says I've gone soft in my accent.
After a few days getting my true accent back and returning South, my co-workers always know when I've been back to Donny - they ask me to speak proper English like I normally do!!! cheeky fuckers!! |

Im a brummie and proud, different to a black country accent though. Some people get mixed up with the two.
And never had anyone put off by it. Besides, i dont talk with my mouth full And "ohhhhhh god" sounds the same with any accent |

My accent is a strange mixture of east midlands and Brighton. Although I don't drop my aitches like people down here do, I say their sayings, for example, instead of 'goodbye' people say 'see ya la'er, but I say 'see you later'. |

I worked alongside a couple of guys from Birmingham for a couple of years, their accent really did my head in - especially when we'd had a few beers!! |

"I'm from Derbyshire way but I definitely don't do the 'ayup me duck' thing  "
That's South Derbyshire dialect, mainly used in and around the old mining towns like Swadlincote and it's neighbouring villages. |

I like to hear a well spoken gent.
Preferably without a higher voice than my own 
Love the geordie, soft scottish and irish, Bristolian also.
I get told I have a sexy voice, not sure if that is true but yeah, if you are going to have phone sex, the voice has to turn you on.

It's true the uneducated do get blue nose and yam yam mixed up, but I'm sure they could be shown the error of their ways |

Teddy and I are both irish, grew up a mile or so apart and our accents are very different. We're on the free state side of the border, but still very close to the north but somehow i got a nordy twang and he didnt.
So many people saying southern irish accents, they all vary so much. you might like a cork accent but hate a dublin northside accent. Cork, limerick and belfast accents in general grate on me. Dub accents, i love, skanger or d4, love them both. |

Isnt that interesting...the close proximity and yet the accents are quite different. Iincidentally I love Limerick accents but then I used to work there for a while and I guess they sound a bit "home" to me. |

As there are beautiful people from all corners of the UK so I don't want to alienate myself from any of them by saying I don't like their accents, but having said that, if I ask you to shut the fuck up while I shag you please don't be offended, I just don't want any annoying distractions. Ta. |

No real dislike of accents.
Mine is a mix. Scousers say I sound like a 'wool' (anywhere from st helens and beyond, you're a wool). Mancs say Im scouse. Or as one lovely Lancashire gent put it "Your accents a bit fucked."
But if Ive had a drink or wound up the scouse appears. Not harsh like the lovely Jamie Carragher as people can understand me |

I'm not a fan of 'harsh' accents, nor the stereotypical 'countryboy' ones. Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle etc - just not for me. Prefer the London or Home Counties speech. Don't have an accent myself - before anyone calls me a Norfolk Dumpling! |

There isn't an accent that would put me off , however there is a type of person that would put me off and that is more than likely reflected in their inability to speak properly.
I'd more than likely not want to meet the type of person who is so unwordly to think that everyone from the same region sports the same accent. Before anyone says it. I am a Brummy and frequently say so |

"I live in a place called Tipton which is just outside Dudley for those who don't know, and the accent here grates me its horrible "
it's not that bad in "dudli" though i was told i sounded posh by a girl in dudli 
Can't say there's one that puts me off though my accent is a bit battered having moved around a bit. Still have a bit of the old yam-yam black country come out now and again which is weird at times. I struggle to understand fenland folk sometimes but wouldn't put me off them. Irish, Scottish & Welsh accents are gorgeous to my ears though  |

Tipton has a much stronger accent than dudley tho, you can tell the difference a mile off |

Yes! It's not accents per se, it's timbre and pitch. Always speak on the phone after one meet where he looked like Daniel Craig but sounded like Joe Pasquale. Still traumatised at that! |

I've not long moved back to the mids so am slowly picking it up again. I did use the word 'bab' recently so must be getting back into the flow
Tipton's is alot stronger than dudli but it wouldn't put me off meeting someone from there as long as i had an interpreter with me |

I don't really find any accent sexy, I'm from devon so mine is awful
I spend all day chatting to scots on the phone and I can never understand them and it usually winds me right up as the talk so fast and the accent is so strong
However I have just spoken to a very sexy sounding scots man and I melted so I can't even say that lol |

Can't stand a brummie or bolton accent though xx"
Accents change in every city. Accents are deliberate and not accidental. They are part of forming an identity. In Liverpool people around Scotty road and Everton (North Liverpool) speak with a stronger accent than mine (South Liverpool). Also accents happen in every language. When I lived in Amsterdam people from outside Amsterdam would think I was an Amsterdamer when speaking dutch. That was obviously due to me learning Dutch in Amsterdam.
I have a massive thing for accents. Some I love like Geordie, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cockney, Cardiff, etc. Some I don't like too much lol. I won't name the ones I don't like. |

I have an irrational dislike of the Wolverhampton accent which mainly stems from personal reasons.
If i put my audio on in the chatrooms I get loads of nice comments about my Aussie accent...which I find odd as I don't like it. |

Ah see now I love the Liverpudlian accent though I prefer the lovely Irish lilt. Scottish accent is okay depending on where they come from; the stronger the accent the harder it is to understand and I have put off meeting a guy for a second meet as I just cannae understand him |

Sorry Liverpudlians but I'm afraid the scouse accent is the one that grates on my nerves, especially the ones who sound like they're going to phlegm up every time they open their gobs.
Then again I've got a Barnsley accent, so accept that my 'thee and tha' talk might not be construed as the sexiest by others neither |
