I met this cute Russian girl not long ago who had a light Russian accent (not really a fan of the thick accents). I thought it was pretty hot. Hell, She even spoke Russian for me; Even though I don't find the language particularly sexy, the way she said it and looked at me while she bit her lip made it sexy as hell..
Also there's this older blonde milf who comes into my work every now and then that has this bubbly British accent that always catches my attention. So I guess you could say I'm a fan of accents, depends though; some thick accents from other parts of the world I don't like at all, normally when it makes it harder to understand what they're actually saying.
I wonder if you were to move to Australia or the UK with no accent or American(or Canadian) accent, would they consider that sexy?

I tend to think I have a pretty neutral sounding accent, but I guess it might sound distinctive to some people.

God I hope so, because I plan on moving to Australia someday

I didn't think I had an accent. Until I spent a few months in Texas with my cousin. Everyone of his friends told me that they could tell I was from Kansas because of my accent.

I love accents!
I knew this one girl from the Czech Republic, she had a cool accent!
Then I knew this girl with a boston accent...
Everytime she talked I pretty much came in my pants...
I ended up getting drunk with her one night and telling her how hot I thought her accent was... then she started saying a bunch of stuff that really brings out boston accents like "parking cars in harvard yard" and stuff...
Then I pretty much admitted that I was in love with her and shit...
And it only got worse from there...
Later I admitted to being a virgin, and to smoking crack and other stuff I don't care to repeat...

I really liked her too, and she was hot and had a hot accent, and I actually had a shot before I started getting really stupid, I wish I could handle my alcohol better...
I haven't spoke to her since that night...

Pretty sure there's no such thing as "no accent".

I think I'm pretty good at distinguishing slight differences in accents. There's quite a variety of accents in the mid Atlantic, from the tidewater of Virginia, to the Washington DC accent, to Baltimore, Philly, Brooklyn, Connecticut. All somewhat distinct.
I have a friend who grew up not 20 miles from where I grew up, and his accent is quite different than what I have.
Check out this accent, from an island in the middle of the Chesapeake bay.

I agree. There are certain accents that, no matter how intelligent the speaker, makes them sound stupid:
I had a friend who grew up in southern Virginia (suthun vagenah) who went to elocution school to, as he said himself "have the dumb schooled out of him"

Americans tell me I speak English with a German accent. Germans/Austrians tell me I speak German with an American accent. Back home people are seriously confused about what accent I have, they definitely know something's up, but can't make up their mind about where from 
I love German/Austrian girls, I love their accent when speaking English, also I love girls from the Netherlands and their accent. It's more subtle than German but still clearly there. Oh and Scandinavian women

I believe that an American accent (not a Southern or Texas one or whatever) is simply a lack of an accent. It's a pronunciation of all the words in the English language with as few aberrations as possible. It's like a sterilized version of the English language.

Most countries have some form of neutral accent, that's what they look for in national newscasters and shit like that. It's "neutral" in that it's missing cues that suggest specific regional accents, but it's still an accent.

A certain country in central/eastern Europe. Both English and German are learned, my native language is unrelated to either.

It's an attempt to line one's speech up to the letters as accurately as possible. But I don't know how you justify calling it an accent.

It's a set of pronunciations and intonations that's recognizably American. Australia or England or whatever have their own "neutral" accents that sound to them like no accent at all. To you they would sound like Australian or English accents. It's all a matter of perspective.
