Anecdotally, I've heard lots of American women say that the English accent is sexy to them.
I have a pretty discernable Bklyn accent & upon reflection it's gotten me laid in the SW & West coast, or to be more precise: It made it easier to.
I know this some sort of joke thread but depending on your age, personality will get you further in the long run. provided you practice basic hygiene and don't let yourself go physically. Meaning staying in reasonable shape, look fit.
Women are much more forgiving looks wise toward men in general post 30. I have also observed that people that were smoke-show hot in my youth, particularly the ones with no/bad personalities,...once they hit a certain age and doors aren't flying open for them anymore. It's like they psychologically fall off a cliff.

everyone thinks i'm australian so i don't really know. there's about two british accents where are 'british' to people in the US, hugh grant and something approaching cockney. it's the posh one that they're mostly thinking of as sexy i think.

accent hierarchies (of foreigners) are pretty interesting i think. coz it's all associational. all mediated. doesn't have a Real point of reference.

americans - and everyone else - absorb UK regional/class accent associations from TV too. games of thrones and harry potter and all of that include these kinds of stereotypes and associations. the honest sheffield Starks. ron weasly as ridiculous coz he's less posh hermionie is clever coz she's posh. ok i never want to talk about harry potter again but the class associations etc are obvious.

i dunno - the british guy i knew with the really pockmarked face that was really successful with women due to his accent, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a posh accent

Aussie’s sound like a cross between a Brit and a Texan. Kinda act accordingly too now that I think about it.
I’ve spent the most time among the Irish through family, friends on both sides of the pond. Beyond the stereotypical cockney & kings English it’s tougher for me to
Identify regionally. The only exception being the Manchester type NE, which like the Irish gets more tricky in the north. Very Scots influenced.

American women love British men both for the exotic factor and “what if he’s friends with a duke”

sorry my dudes, a happy hunting ground, whispering filth in their ear is enough in itself to soak a mattress
