Accents - hot or not?

Is a person of the opposite sex considered to be hot when they have an accent?

How about if it is someone who has been in Canada for a year and still has an accent, is that still hot? Or is that pardon-moi the politically incorrect term, fob-ish? I don't get it. What about those of us that travel and find accents in visiting countries hot, but then come home to hear the same ones and claim: oh they've got an accent *negative tone*. I am just as guilty. AND as a language teacher to be this really irks me ...

Why the topic, why not?! Actually no, it happened at work today. Guy had an accent, we thought he was cute. But then in convo (what?? we build customer rapport), it turns out that buddy has been here for 4 years! It was quite the spectical show, thats what you get when you have an all female staff.

PS: 3 more days till the wedding!!
