Do girls in France, England, or Australia like American Accents?

[Rob]

The easiest way to get an American girl out of her panties is to talk with an accent. Do chicks in France, England, or Australia feel the same way about American accents? Probably not France because they're some arrogant pricks that smell their own balls for a "picker upper".

Seeing how GFY is a global phenomenon, I figure I'd ask.

EDIT: Doesn't have to be just the countries I listed. I just used those pricks as a sample.

I know I'm not really the demographic you are interested in, but for what it's worth I like it - Apart from that really OTT Californian accent some people have - The really camp one...

[The Porn Nerd]

What's an "American" accent? Like from Boston? Or Atlanta? Or San Francisco? Or New York? Or Chicago?

Dude, they like our MONEY.

That one will go down a bomb....

[rogueteens]

No, most girls I know of go for French or Italian accents. In the UK American accents are not seen as anything special, if anything, they have a slightly uneducated connotation.

[metaverse]

I lived in Sydney for a year and yes the reverse is true, Australian girls in general love American accents.

I agree with that but I think its a more recent thing.... 20 or 30 years ago the America accents were in fashion in London.

[drclockwork]

Yeah... most of the world thinks Americans are dumb, arrogant, gun-toting misanthrops with a comically horrible grasp on geography and world news.... which is a fairly accurate description of most Americans FWIW.

[klinton]

actually, during my world travels (and not in US) I met guys and galz from US who were the exact opposite of your description..but maybe people who travel is the other, specific group in every country

I tend to agree that the traveling ones are not representative of a country's inhabitants.
Having said that, the US is one of the countries in the world with the lowest percentage of citizens with passports (Forbes Welcome) which leads to the initial comment that most of the american population is regarded as people with little culture and curiosity towards other countries.

To answer the OP, and being French myself, I would say that american accent WHILE SPEAKING FRENCH is a definite hit among the female population of France.
Speaking English with an american accent, they wouldn't care less. They would probably like more a British accent for that "GoT vibe" it has.

Thank for that article - what an amazing stat.

while we're busy conquering the world, you should see what we think of most of the world.

Well that's kind of the point. Most Americans haven't been outside of their own tristate area. Ones that actually are at least semi-well traveled, are going to have a much broader education about the world and aren't going to be the ones we're talk about, because they are the exception to the rule. I'm only speaking to the perception that a lot of the world has about the vast majority of Americans- the ones that aren't well educated or traveled. And that's a very real and surprisingly accurate depiction. I've been to middle-of-nowhere America and have met some of these people- the ones who (true story here) roll up to Waffle House in their pickup trucks with the rebel flag on the back windshield AND the tailgate (because one symbol of hatred and bigotry isn't enough), and gets out open carrying not 1, not 2, but 3 pistols on his belt. Seriously, what does this guy need 3 guns for, to go to breakfast at Waffle House? Is he expecting to get that pissed off at the shitty service that he'll need to use more guns than he has hands? Is he THAT worried about getting mugged at a waffle house in Bowling Green, Kentucky that he needs to go to breakfast more strapped than some of our soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan? Sure it's his "god given right" to do that, and don't get me wrong, I'm all for people exercising their Constitutional Rights, but god damn if that's not a hell of an image to portray that makes Americans look like gun toting lunatics. But what REALLY got me, was that no one around me even blinked about it. This was completely normal to everyone around him. Now what does THAT say about the accuracy of the rest of the world's opinion of Americans? I think it's incredibly sad, but incredibly accurate nonetheless.

that you and the europeans who share your opinion a frightened of their own shadow?

America has so many different accents that you can't really class them as one. I personally like certain US accents on girls but some I can't stand to listen to. I am pretty sure most people like accents because it is something different to the "norm" they face everyday. You stand out a bit more and that is appealing. I live in Canada and have a Scottish Accent, people discuss it with me every day, tell me they like it, ask me if they have an accent (yes, really) and so on.

Personally, I like Spanish accents, nothing more sexy than a good looking Spanish speaking girl.

[naughtylaura]

well I'm Welsh and I LOVE the American accent

[American Psycho]

Yes french girls and Austin girls love americans.

I had fun whilst visiting those places

Australia was my fave because I could communicate better.

YYou sound a bit uppity sir. Typical outlook from someone who has lived in a city and feels superior because of it.
as some one who lived all over us and abroad I can say this...

That is def not your typical country american.
Most are not gun toting bigots as you seem to think is accurate. Sure many be a product of living in a square state but so what, every country has its hicks that live in isolation and I'd venture to say they are all under exposed and a bit clueless how the world s is. That would only be logical. Right?

I personally love hicks regardless of their lack of worldliness. actually many are awesome because they are simple. Not including racist hateful people ofc

[crockett]

A lot of chicks dig southern accents. I'm from FL, so I don't really have much of a southern accent, but I've had girls tell me they liked my accent, which always leaves me baffled because I know people with crazy southern accents and I'm nowhere near that.


However there are a lot of American accents, so I dunno how anyone could really say "American" accent as a whole.

I'm not sure what part of my statement makes you think I'm frightened in the least. Moreover, the fact that I DON'T carry a gun is more of a statement to the contrary of that. I feel confident enough in myself and my surroundings that I don't feel the need to HIDE behind a weapon to keep myself safe. Now don't get me wrong. I am very pro gun rights. I just personally dislike guns, and I have good reason for that, but that's irrelevant to this conversation. I just think blatantly carrying them around to be completely unnecessary, distasteful, invites more violent behavior than it stops, and frankly, makes Americans look bad. But that's my personal opinion. Feel free to disagree. You're entitled to yours as well.

Now regarding what happened at the Waffle House, that's a very real story from early May of this year. Again, you can feel free to believe me, or not. That's your prerogative, but you weren't there and I was. I noticed it, because I'm from NJ and someone open carrying where I'm from is not common. My GF, who's from Kentucky didn't even notice it until I pointed it out to her. She just kind of shrugged and said "welcome to Bowling Green."

ya then you woke up! i guarantee you just by your posts women don't respect or like you. You're weak.

I just got back from Europe. I live in Manhattan, New York City.

I like Europe better.

BUT......

Every place has pluses and minuses. When it comes to work, making money (without limits) and essentially living a relatively free, secure life America wins hands down.

Quality of life? Europe wins (mostly).

There are people like this - but the fact that they go against the grain, your grain, can be native evidence of courage. Don't you respect that? With all the scorn you and others heap on them, they refuse to demonstrate compliance with your worldview. May I ask, what have you ever done that required real courage? I'm not saying you have or haven't, I'm waiting for your answer. How have you gone against the grain to do something you believed in?

I think we have a bit of a miscommunication here. I am, by no means trying to dictate what people can and can not do. Just because *I* feel that it's distasteful to carry a weapon in public and *I* think that it makes Americans look bad, I would never try to infringe on someone else's right to do whatever they wanted. I respect the man for exercising his rights. I don't have to *like* what he does, but it isn't my place to *tell* him what he should or should not do. I am not a fascist.

Having said that, no I don't think it's courageous, nor do I feel that it "goes against the grain" in the least. He has the right to do that, because it's in the Constitution that he can. Exercising one's rights isn't going against the grain. It's very much being part of the grain of our society. I think it's the police state that we live these days that's going against the grain of our society and is sanding our rights down to nothing (to continue with the woodworking metaphor).

Regarding me having courage, I suppose that's completely subjective. Some people say that some of the things I've done have been courageous. Some say that the things I've done in my life are completely stupid. I don't think they are anything in particular though. I've just done the things that needed to be done when it was time to do them. I dunno. Is it brave or stupid to be a founding member of a chapter of the Anti-Racist Action, and unblinkingly stare down the barrel of a KKK member's shotgun pointed at my head when I said that he will NOT be burning a cross on a black family's lawn that day. Is it brave or stupid to march for gay marriage, trans rights, leaving corporate America so I could start my own company and never have to be dependent on anyone else for the living I make, or even starting a family of my own in uncertain socioeconomic times? You can decide that on your own.

I concur.

One thing I truly appreciate about the adult industry is the travel opportunities it has provided me. I know for a fact that experiencing so many other cultures has tremendously opened my eyes. I look back at friends I've known for 20+ years who still work the same shitty jobs and run in the same exact circles. Their idea of travel is an overnight trip to the beach and most of them act about the same as they did 20 years ago. While I still consider them to be friends, I can see their lack of individual growth and attribute most of that to living in their own bubble.

On my first trip to the UK & EU I met up with a former GFYer and we traveled together. My immaturity shined through and although he never mentioned it to me, somebody else who has already posted in this thread, later told me that is why the other person no longer speaks to me. That feedback alone made me take a hard look at myself and I matured a bit because of it.

Yes, most Americans are "dumb, arrogant, gun-toting misanthrops with a comically horrible grasp on geography and world news." Although what I find comical is the guy initially calling Americans dumb misspelling misanthropes.

Yes, that sounds courageous to me. But that is also the "correct" thing to do. I mean have you ever done anything that was "wrong" in the eyes of most people but correct to you? I'll give you an example: in another thread they reference the giving of a fruit basket containing a watermelon, though made by a mixed race person, as a racially insensitive act. Since you are a warrior for racial justice, would you have the courage to publicly declare that charge to be nonsense?

Definitely. Political correctness is no excuse for stupidity. That's a regoddamnediculous charge if you ask me. That's kind of why I posted the partial youtube link (apparently I haven't posted enough to ACTUALLY post links).

Edit to answer the other question- I work in this industry, don't I? That's "wrong" to most people, is it not?
