Define "Heavy". I'm English, roots in the Westcountry. Think Sam on LOTR only thicker.

In England most people don't notice it. But I live in South Africa now. I've learned to tone it down so I'm understandable here. The irony of an Englishman being told his accent is confusing by someone who pronounces the letter "a" as an "i" as in "thit blick oke"

[Elena_Stewart]

I don't know what to say here but I like all accents🙂

[DJB72]

It's just an observation. I worked in a call centre a few years ago and another expat from the English Westcountry called and he had a really thick accent but made no attempt to be more easily understood so the team leader asked me to take the call while he listened in. The really funny bit was the old guy also spoke with a Westcountry DIALECT! Think Chaucerian English in the Canterbury Tales. The different counties vary a bit, but I speak Dorset dialect and understand Somerset and Devonshire. Cornish is literally another language.

My team leader had no idea what we were talking about as he listened because of the combination of accent and dialect. It was great fun!

[Elena_Stewart]

Yes, this sounds fun🙂

[NathanDavis]

[MattJ2000]

Yes. The measure of a good partner cannot be established by their accent. Language barriers are obviously important to consider, but if you can start a good conversation with them in spite of a thick accent, why should that be a dealbreaker? I've seen many loving couples whose love crosses languages. Usually one of them is a native English speaker and the other is ESL, but they both love each other.

[WhiteSteve]

I mean, I talk like this dude, so I’d really be throwing stones inside a glass house if I wouldn’t 😅😂

[Elena_Stewart]

Oh my goodness! This is hilarious🤣🤣🤣
You always know how to make me laugh😁

[WhiteSteve]

Always happy to give a laugh😊

For the record, I talk roughly like him, but I sound way less fat and drunk and like I dropped out of school at 12, lmfao

[WhiteSteve]

But I do say “fahhkkin’ “ every 2-3 seconds🤣🤣🤣

[Elena_Stewart]

Please stop🤣🤣

[WhiteSteve]

🤐🤐🤐

[wiltingrosepetal]

Yeah, most of the people I know have pretty light accents because of how Americanised we are. Finding someone with a thick Aussie accent is rare but I love it

[FunkyMonkee]

As long as I could understand her but, I'm usually pretty good with accents and can even do quite a few myself. I even mixed French with English and Hindi!

[Phoenix98]

Yeah sure I mean have a heavy accent or so I'm told so it'd be hypocritical of me not to. Plus a lot of accents can sound pretty attractive/hot so why wouldn't you anyway?

[Drew-1990]

I don't quite get it but there is something attractive about a girl with an accent. End the end I just have an accent as well to her. I wouldn't date or not date anyone for having an accent but I may be more attracted to a girl that has one.

[aceleon]

don't date but if i were accent wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me. some accents are hot.

[bobalife]

I mean… Spanish accent, British, French, and Australian is all hot in my books haha

[RebelinSteel]

Yes I have, not much choice at times in the UK.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Well, actually I married her.

She doesn't have exactly a strong accent, but my wife comes from the German-speaking minority of my country and she does have and accent.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I've dated chicks that can't even speak English.

[LaurenM1997]

I’m Scottish but don’t have a broad accent but I love Geordie accents 🥰

[laly520]

already dating someone with heavy russian like accent

[Fireguy17]

sure to them I probably have a heavy accent as well.

[Flatmanlewis]

Mostly depends on the accent but yes. In the end, attraction is built on many factors. That’s just one.

[TenderFantasy]

Nope. I never thought of accents as being turn ons. Especially if I can't even understand him and there's a language barrier.

[BoopBoopBeep]

As long as I can understand her, sure.

[Elena_Stewart]

Good point

[Flower7]

No, that would be annoying because I wouldn’t be able to understand him most of the time.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

If I'm truly struggling to understand him, I might have to give it more thought.

[MikeyPH85]

Why would I? Because personally I think accents are sexy AF!!!

[dolemite58]

As long as it’s not Irish

[Elena_Stewart]

Why though?🙂

[dolemite58]

It’s my least favorite accent 😖

[LaurenM1997]

Go listen to sham rock tell me ma 🤣

[sawno]

Yes but depends on the accent.
