English overtakes French as the world’s sexiest accent

The French have long held the position as masters of love but they may have just lost their place for sexist accent in the world.

A Time Out Global Dating survey of 11,000 people in 24 cities have chosen the British accent as the most attractive one. It was followed by the American, Irish and our very own Aussie accent. In fact, French was only chosen by 7.7 per cent people, coming in at fifth place.

However, all was not lost as Paris ranked as the city with the best dating scene. This was followed by Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, Chicago and London.

The study also asked respondents of their outlook in love. Sydneysiders were the happiest singles with 31 per cent declaring themselves “proudly single” while in the Big Apple, the opposite was true. The survey found 45 per cent of New Yorkers said they were “sad to be single.”

Technology was important in the modern day dating scene, with 58 per cent admitting to sussing out a date on social media first.
