oh my, it just got alittle warmer over here. Thank you sharp!

Thanks you guys! Yes, deep voices are very nice as well.

My mom says I have a deep voice that carries.

I need to frickin get the he|| our of the US then. Im thinkin Ireland. Im Irish Catholic, so i have a natural disdain of the brits. Even though i read a study somewhere that said the brits have the biggest cans of europe.

I have a pretty deep voice. My last girlfriend said that was one of her attractions to me so I guess I've got that going for me. We'll see if it gets me anywhere else with the ladies since I haven't had a date in 4 months.

I've been told that I have a weird accent and I say certain words cute, like "no" and "I know". Yayyy me.

^^

Me too. I don't believe I have an accent, but sometimes I sound a little bit northern...other times my midwestern roots show and I tend to draw out some words or turn them southern.

^^


I took that...it said I had no accent.

I've been particularly enjoying "Flight of the Conchords" with all the New Zealand accents.


No sound is a definite drawback of the mb.

Agreed.

Me too. I think I just have a weird voice.

I love the show! The humor is so low-key sometimes. I love it. Both Jemaine and Bret are funny in such different ways. Fantastic songwriters too.

From today's Toronto Star:

Men, how low can you go?

Your voice, that is.

As you hear yourself answer that question, does the response come out Pee Wee Herman squeaky or Barry White baritone smooth?

Studies suggest the pitch of a man's voice could have an impact on his appeal to the opposite sex, with new research indicating women wanting to have children may favour a mate with huskier speech.

McMaster University professor David Feinberg and colleague Coren Apicella, an anthropology graduate student at Harvard, selected members of the Hadza of Tanzania as subjects for a study to be published in Biology Letters tomorrow. Men in the tribe were asked how many children they had had.

Apicella and Feinberg ran the recordings through a computer algorithm to detect voice pitch. "What we noticed was that men with lower-pitched voices tended to have more babies than men with higher-pitched voices did," said Feinberg.

It's more likely men with lower voices can find more women than their high-pitched counterparts, rather than the possibility that men with higher-pitched voices are having their children die at younger ages, the findings suggest.



Well, that explains it........ And all this time I thought it was my charm, wit and gracious good humour...

Nah.

Ew.


False. I once had to break up with a guy because I couldn't take his accent. He was from New Joisey.

Does that make me shallow?

How does an accent quiz work?



Hmmm, well my voice isn't particularly deep. If anything I tend to have kind of a soft voice I think. I've also been told that I have a faint southern drawl. I guess if my voice sounded like a celebrity's it would remind you a little bit of one of the Wilson brothers.

Well that's what . . . . . 100 miles from the Mason-Dixon Line?

It says I have no accent.

Me too! Their voices are so entrancing!

Poor Jemaine. I've read a few articles about The Conchords popularity with women and all single out Bret.

The funny thing is that their accents are verrry niiiice, but their manager's accent makes me want to giggle.

I was just thinking about this. Bret is more attractive, but Jemaine has got the sexy-funny-guy thing going. In the opening credits for the show, I am much more drawn to watching Jemaine -- that little bounce he does at the beginning when they are walking, and the shoulder dance he does at the table. Very cute!

I have to admit I was disappointed when I asked Mrs RC if she thought they were attractive and she said 'Yes, Bret is'. I would have bet money that she would have picked Jemaine.

Are they oblivious to Mel's advances or just ignoring it?

Definitely not oblivious. I think they are creeped out by Mel's advances. She's married! And her "situation" was not on the up and up from what I can tell. She's creepsville.

Great word - creepsville.

I know a real life 'Mel'. Creepy is a mild word...

I think, physically, Bret is cuter. But I think Jemaine is cute in his funniness...if that makes sense.

I love New Zealand accents also!

I don't think that I have an accent, but I have been told that I kind of have a Minnesota accents where I draw out my o's. I don't however say, "ya, you betcha," or anything Fargo related.

I LOVE Flight of the Conchords ! ITA, very nice accents , and Mel is definitely 'creepsvill'--love the word HCT ! I have to agree that Bret is cuter, IMO, but that doesn't mean Jemaine isn't, as you guys said. I can't wait till it come out on dvd--even if I'll probably be waiting quite a while --cause I've been watching it on YouTube.

Thought I'd post a pic


Bubble--were do you take this accent quiz? I was told I have a french accent when I speak english and an english accent when I speak french , but I can't really tell if I got any accent when I speak english.

Definitley say pop haha. Nobody else does!

Whoops...we're in the singles thread! How did this end up here? Ohh right we were talking about accents being attractive. Wow. Talk about going slightly off topic! Anyways, um, anybody got any hot dates?

Im going to a concert on saturday with three very fine ladies.

Your sister's bringing two friends?

He is going with his sister, mom and grandmother

Careful in the mosh pit

Things might get a little crazy...

Bunch of hyenas in here.

I thought he was taking a deck of cards, minus the Queen of Hearts.

VB new jersey is not a accent, it's a defect. My ex had a thick boston accent. When I moved back with him, I thought I would go deaf with all the heavy boston accents.

If I was single I wouldn't be up in knots over a certain man right now

Thanks! Now I don't feel so bad for breaking up with him.

Well, to be honest, I never really did feel that bad.

I'll admit that in the past, I would rush into a relationship just for the sake of having a boyfriend. Now I've been single for some time & the great thing is that I have four men, if not more who want me. Not only does it boost my confidence but it makes me thankful for not dating any guy. Now, I'm just laying out my options...

I have had enough single time. I want to not be.


That is all.

In high school I was never the girl who alway had to have a boyfriend. I had one boyfriend a few crushes. I have always been a bit picky.

Sharp I hope you find a guy soon. It's he11 when your tried of being single

I can sympathize!! I always had to have a girlfriend or at least someone to date. I would go crazy without one and I'd go out and get one asap.

Of course, at that age, everyone would joke that I just wanted a girlfriend so I could 'get some'. But in reality I always liked the companionship of a women. I've always got along really well with women and I liked having one in my life.

Sharpie, I feel the same right now. That'll probably change again in a week, but for now I feel like I've been on my own long enough. I'm even starting to get worried that if I do find someone I wouldn't be able to function in a relationship, I'm so out of practice. For me, being single is easy but sometimes not all that satisfying.

If????????? If you find someone?????????

QoE - Based on your postings here, you've got an awesome personality!!! Any guy would be lucky to date you.

^^^

Thank you RC! I wasn't trying to be down on myself or anything. I guess I should have said "if I find someone anytime soon". Something about being single for a while makes you feel a bit out of practice, I guess.
Thanks again for the compliment, though. I'm going to cling to that for a while, if that's okay.

I feel the same way. I have never really had a boyfriend and have only known the single life. I have dated a few times, but that is about it. I am kind of picky as well. I also would feel as though I wouldn't know how to handle a relationship should I ever get one. I have always had an independent spirit and have enjoyed the freedom of being single. However, it does get lonely sometimes and I wonder if I will be able to function in one or if I will ever even encounter such a relationship. I teeter between the enjoyment of only relying on myself and longing for the type of special companionship that comes with a good relationship. Sometimes I fear I will never get to experience that.

I totally agree.

Bugger - posting thing is getting me tonight.

I tried to agree earlier and my post didn't work. Yeah, I'm tired of it. Not only am I tired of being single, I'm tired of feeling like there's no one in my circle of friends who I would even consider. That's very discouraging.

^^

Oh yes. I forgot the board is still messed up. So I am quoting Queenie.


Queenie, If I were a guy...or if we were lesbians (*use of laughing emoticon) I would be chomping at the bit to go out with you.


Yeah, IDK what the deal is. Any guy should be more than happy to go out with me . (*wink emoticon)


I was grocery shopping today (and babysitting a 14 month old) when this hooooooot guy gave me the biggest flirtatious smile with hello....then he saw the kid. Da mn it. Too bad he didn't talk more, I could have explained she wasn't mine.

All day long I got, "OMG! Your daughter is soooo cute!" Eventually I just started to say Thank you.

oh sharp you need a hug after that? You could have been like little girl I don't know you. But if he found out I think it would have made it worse. hope this makes up for it
