I voted Option 3 purely because it's already established Symmetry is the sexiest person in The Club, and I generally read his posts in the voice of Professor Henry Higgins.

Bonac - the mostly lost dialect of the natives of the southern fork of Long Island. It sounds a little bit like Boston/Maine but ticker and full bodied.
Now nearly lost forever, there was once a thriving local Bonac dialect, which held strong into the middle of the last century. Today, the Bonac accent is in the process of being lost to the New York City speech patterns of the western portion of Long Island. The Bonac accent is said to be akin to the spoken language of the working class settlers who came from England in the 17th century; and it is also, remarkably, said to be akin to accents of fishing cultures farther down the Atlantic coast, in the Carolinas, for instance, where similar groups of Englishmen settled around the same time. In Bonac, the word "pie," to give one example, was rendered as "poy." (As in, famously: "Boy goy that's good poy.") Archaic English words survived in Bonac dialect into the 20th century, such as the word "wickus" for rascal. There are only a handful of Bonac speakers left.

A- Wtf is posh??? B- Have you ever even heard a Boston accent? No offense to Bostoners but I'm more stimulated by the sling blade guy's accent. C- Aren't we all desensitized to Australian and Scottish by now?
Anyway, I voted cajun, very warm sounding. Pun not intended.

Cockney without a doubt, there's nothing sexier than a trashy girl saying something stupid with a dialect so stupid it's sexy.

Not too gutteral for you or do you mean men?
My friends mom was from West Virginia and her accent was actually pretty sexy imho. Another thing of note: the "Boston" accent is really more like the equivalent of cockneyed for the UK.

Haha f*ck yeah; the russian accent is a great one, similar to Jamacian in that it has a kind of slow and almost melodical kind of sound - someone who know more about linguistics can prob explain this better.

I worked with a couple of Jamaican guys when I was 18 they were so awesome. I would translate all the time because I'd listen to what they were saying and figured out all the words they used that everyone else didn't. The one was like 54 and he had a 17 year old girl friend. When they would argue they'd start speaking super fast.
It was awesome.

Not sure if lootifer was agreeing or disagreeing with bbs but ah well. I do like the Indian accent only because I have positive associations with it. I wonder how much this has to do with the attraction of any of them?

I worked with a German girl for some time and I found the accent a little "cold". Or maybe it was just her.
