Speaking a foreign language is a real seduction asset. And a simple “ma che bella!” or “mon amour” may be enough to make our heads spin! As part of a European study on infidelity, Gleeden, the extra-marital dating site surveyed more than 3,000 members* in England to know the languages that make them succumb to temptation. Discover the top 5 favourite accents of British** unfaithful men and women!
Would it be so hard to resist a beautiful foreign accent? Apparently yes! According to a study commissioned by Babbel (a language-learning app), 71% of Americans think that a person who speaks several languages is more appealing. To learn more, Gleeden interviewed its members to know the languages that particularly captivate them.
At the top of this ranking for the sexiest foreign accent as judged by British cheaters is: Italian! Overwhelmingly selected by the majority of Gleeden members interviewed (29%), the language is appealing with its melodious and romantic accent.
And unfaithful Italians returned the favor since the English accent is approved by more than a quarter of them (26%)!
The Spanish accent takes third place. The language with warm intonations appeals to 17% of respondents.
German and Swedish close this ranking of favourite accents of British unfaithful men and women with respectively 13% and 11% of votes.
The voice, characteristic of all temptations
While some are charmed by nice looks, a smile, beautiful hands or a nice neckline, the voice for others, apparently makes all the difference! The survey conducted by Gleeden confirms that : 62% of unfaithful English men and women interviewed believe that the voice is a major seduction advantage.
Nearly half of them (49%) say they could have an affair simply because they are seduced by a beautiful tone of voice. Finally, 42% of them admit having already had an extra-marital relationship with someone simply because they were charmed by his/her voice!
Forget about elaborated makeup or well-trimmed beard, a sweet and enchanting voice is what really seals the deal!
* Survey from 18 October to 25 October of 3,102 members in England and 16,025 European members of Gleeden.
** Voters chose from between ten different language options, with the original language having been removed for each country.
