I have to admit, when I meet people who speak English in a foreign dialect, I often find the way they speak attractive, even when they're men. In fact, even when they're American - despite the fact that, like most British people, I hear American accents on a near-daily basis in the media - I still find it appealing when I hear one in the flesh. I really liked the film Fargo, and most of the appeal was hearing this Minnesotan accent I hadn't heard before. (Although how accurate it was, I'm sure is open to debate.)
I have no real idea why this should be, though I have particular preferences - French and Chinese, for some reason. I'm curious to know whether this is reciprocated by people of other nationalities toward "British" accents, or perhaps it's only particular British accents, such as Cockney, or Glaswegian.
