Default for the australians, brits, pretty much all non americans

i was just watching some of the escapists reviews, thinking to myself how his reviews are made all the more effective by his accent and the charm that comes with a british, australian etc etc accent. then that got me thinking... do american accents sound even semi charming to anyone from around the world? australians for example have a distinct strategic advantage whenever it comes to chasing tail in the states. they can be f*ck ugly, but once they open their mouths and start talking, every woman around them loses all self control and starts dryhumping them. i travel quite a bit, mostly europe, and was wondering to myself if my american accent might have a similar effect on any of the women there? any insight is appreciated

I think you're out of luck, mate, I don't know anyone who likes the American accent. Try putting on a Welsh one..

i think the american lady's are just looking for props cos they rooted an aussie or brit or whatever. personally i wouldnt be turned on by an american chick just because of her accent, i think thats because we here it so often in movies and stuff its not that different anymore, i like the british accent cos its different

Im australian and speaking for all countries besides america. You guys have realy horrible accents.... it sounds like your killing a cat with a violin lol. It's preety high pitched. And only some aussies sound like " G'day mate " or maby im always around aussies i dont notice... well yer the answer for your question is no, and alot of people realy dislike the americans so try to not sound american . O and since you did traveling, What country did u like the best? Australia was voted 3rd best place to live and america was 13th. But realy, what did u like?

they sound way more sophisticated, and they use proper words lol. us aussie tend to make up a lot of words, like stubby=bear can, blowy=fly, barbie=BBQ, ambo=ambulance, ankle biter=small child, beaut=great, billy=teapot, fair dinkum=true, chook=chicken and the list goes on. and one i think most brits and americans would find funny thong=flip flops.

if u can be bothered look up this aussie slang dictionary:
