I’m from Louisiana. I was attracted to my husband because of his weird accent. (He is from New Hampshire). Of course, I speak without accent, like all of my friends and family in Louisiana. But that Yankee accent takes some getting used to.
Back in the 50,s my dad brought home a Yankee family that he had found somewhere. He was always picking up destitute people and helping them find a job or a place to live.
They came to Texas and found a job but they were the first Yankees that I can remember meeting and their accent was hilarious .
I would never have been attracted to a guy who sounded like that.
