  • Well to most of us we don't hear all the syllables in each word, so I can understand why it's perceived as sounding uneducated. Once you know the accent though you start judging them by what they say as opposed to how they sound. I think it sounds funny, but I've never really pinned someone as unintelligent for it.

  • I find Southern American accents to be sexy, especially in women.

  • A little bit of a southern drawl can be charming and sexy as all hell, but if you sound like a downright hick it could be off-putting for sure.

    • You have a Southern accent

    • I actually don't Jordan. I've been told a million times by people that they can't believe I was born and raised in the South because I apparently sound "just like a Yankee."

    • American accent ≠ Southern accent
