highly doubt Europeans can tell the difference
I bet they can. English actors repeatedly say this is the easiest accent to switch to because it is closest to English accent.

Rosie Perez is from the US.
but my point is that the differences between a Puerto Rican accent and a Spanish accent are fairly large

I promise you the majority of Europeans cannot tell the difference between a Southern accent and a Texan accent. Shoot most Americans can't tell the difference
Furthremore, while the English are technically European they are much more familiar with our language/dialects/accents/etc as we share a language

There's a plethora of YouTube videos dedicated to this. Aussies, kiwis, English, etc. women prefer the southern accent.

Anyone have any distinct examples of a Midwestern accent? I just know they say "warsh" instead of "wash".
They say Colorado and pronounce the A like you would pronounce A in "at"
Also when they say "about" is sounds like "a boat"

I saw a video once that gave examples of how Southern linguistic and phonetic tendencies are more like Old English than any other American regional dialect.

I feel like they’re probably thinking of the regal South Carolina/Georgia type accent. More foghorn leghorn than some bama trailer trash.
Just like Louisiana, there’s a distinct difference between north and south Alabama accents. The accent you’ll hear in rural south Alabama is the same one you’ll hear in South Mississippi, South Georgia, and the Florida panhandle.
The wiregrass, pine belt, chattahoochee river accent is the trashy one you’re referring to. The one you’ll hear from Montgomery to Huntsville will ruin a pair of panties though.

You don't think they get turned on by that South Louisiana Swamp People accent?

I would imagine most southerners that travel to Europe are the ones that have a more subtle southern accent.
Oh bullshite. It's the old money South with the very practiced Southern drawl. If there's one accent that bugs me more than NY/NJ women it's that boarding school Southern accent, (think Algore).

There is no single Texan accent. We have at LEAST 3 permutations
