I love listening to her talk could listen to her speak about anything endlessly! It's the tone of her voice and the way the pronunciation of every word is perfectly finished and said properly if you can understand what I mean. Anyways, I had to introduce her to my friends this night and they said she had the hottest accent! We were still talking about it today. Has anybody ever met a girl with a really nice British accent, she sounded like keria knightly and if anybody has heard her speak you'll understand what i meant and how hot it is! Maybe it's because up North we all speak different and not many girls here have much of an appealing accent, in my mind anyways. But does anybody else find a strong English accent on a girl really sexy!? Somehow it made her seem more attractive to me... is that stupid?

 Not stupid at all. I love an English accent. I also love an Irish accent. Because of where I am from, US, I don't ever hear them aside from on television so it's quite different and attractive when I do. I know they did a joke recently on the Big Bang Theory tv show about how Penny would fall for her classmate because of his English accent and another girl chimed in that it was the sexiest accent for a man, so it's common.

Its a proven fact that accents are generally found attractive by the opposite sex. My guess is the reason is found (again) in our genetic code. In short, there is a reason for the saying "opposites attract." In genetic terms, the more distant/dissimilar the genetic code is between the two parents, generally the more healthy the offspring will be. One of the primary reasons for this is most genetic diseases are recessive, so having dissimilar DNA from each parent increases the odds these will drop out in the immediate generation. Hence, it is biologically advantageous to be sexually attracted to those whos DNA is different from our own.
How this applies to accents is, of course, an accent typically indicates a foreign land, and a foreign land typically indicates gene drift. More gene drift = healthier offspring = more attraction.
