If I hear an accent, I'll take a second look. Especially if the accent is scottish, irish, south african or australian. So the appearance of the individual matters a bit but the accent just spices it up. There have been studies that show men and women, alike, are attracted to individuals who they perceive are "as or more" attractive than themselves. This means, to me, that each individual has a perception of relative beauty that is what they call "attractive". It is not bigotry but perception. This perception includes everything..hair color, eyes, lips, accent, body shape, you name it. It also contains the notion of one's own beauty/attractiveness. It is fascinating to think all this goes on in a person's mind when they look at another's face/body. In a flash of moment. Does this make any sense?
