I have to admit to having a penchant for a South African accent.... it does it for me every time, as does a southern US accent - particularly georgian- however it really does depend on what's being said, since no accent, however attractive i may find it could disguise ignorance and hogwash. The attraction engendered by the accent would disappear instantaneously.
I believe Dubya is from Texas, or there abouts.... and i think that makes my point without my having to say another word
No amount of money, status, power or accent is going to make a person more attractive to me if they have an amoeba for a brain
So.... rather than accent.... and if we disregard what's actually being said too..... i suppose i'm very much attracted to the tone/timbre/nature of someone's voice.... more than the accent..... i've sat transfixed while listening to someone's voice before and i'm sure i'm not the only person who's become infatuated with someone i've only ever spoken to on the telephone
Meeting them can sometimes ruin the image

I will not take that as an insult..... since i don't have an italian accent and you've qualified your opinion with
most, so i couldn't possibly be one of those
slimy italians that you've met
Although.... to be fair.... we probably deserve the offence, since
most italians don't like the english or the accent very much either
