These Are the Sexiest Accents in the United States

Bostonians may never have figured out how to pronounce the letter “R,” but their accent still swooned its way to the number two spot. “Bostonian” was topped only by “Texan,” as a good Southern drawl is apparently among the sexiest traits a person can possess. Californians came in at number 10.

Some top-ranked accents aren’t as renowned as the Texan drawl, however. Cleveland’s accent, with those nasal-y A’s and rapid-fire O’s, came in 23rd. Virginia Piedmont, whatever that is, came in at 19th.

Outside of Boston, the East Coast did not fare well. Numbers 49 and 50 were held by New Jersey and Long Island, respectively. Minnesota, home to one of the most distinct accents in the country, also ranked low, coming in at number 48. The “General American” accent, perhaps most known for ordering a “Bud-Weis-Er,” ranked 32nd.
