The New York accent has been ranked the #1 least attractive accent in the world, according to a new study

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that The New York accent has been ranked the no. 1 least attractive accent in the world, according to a new study from Highland Titles

Then was the Spanish accent, the German accent and the Yorkshire accent coming in last – and I’m sure Sean Bean stans worldwide are very offended.

With these statistics in mind, Highland Titles have urged people to date outside their local area, as apparently over 75 percent of participants who were attracted to women liked someone with some kind of accent, while 67 percent of those attracted to men also sharing the same preference.

The least attractive accents have also been linked with which voices participants found ‘most annoying’: New York, Boston and Midwestern, with a survey last year finding similar results.

The global accent battle, published by Highland Titles, surveyed 1,000 Americans on their perceptions and opinions on accents around the world.

Unfortunately, the bad news continues as the study found significant evidence proving that attractiveness can be contingent on your voice. In fact, 71% of those surveyed shared that they were interested in dating someone with an accent. But, in the list of celebrities with the ‘most annoying’ voices, Mark Wahlberg was no where to be seen and it was actually Fran Drescher who came up top.

Kim Kardashian came in second, with the late Gilbert Gottfried in third.

While British accents have proven popular all round, James Corden still managed to find himself in the top ten most annoying celebrity accents, coming in eighth place behind Donald Trump. Following New York in the least attractive accents is Boston, American Midwestern, Canadian, American South, Spanish, German, and Yorkshire. New York also ranked in the top 3 for the most annoying accents and the most boring accents.

To make up for this upsetting ranking, at least we can find solace in the fact that we were just voted the third best city in the entire world. So take that you Australians! But honestly, who are we kidding—we’re no more immune to your adorable accent than anyone else.
