I find the sound of a woman's voice an essential part of whether or not I find her attractive.
I couldn't spend too much time in the company of a woman if I didn't enjoy the sound of her voice.
In no particular order, here is a short list of women on television and film whom I already think are attractive, but have an extra edge because I love the way they talk -
Rachael Riley
Diana Rigg (as Emma Peel)
Elizabeth Hurley
Peri Gilpin (Frazier)
Lucy Beaumont
Cheryl Cole
Alison King
Gloria Hunniford
Claudia Winkelman (on Radio Two)
Alexandra Bastedo
(Note to regulars - one of these may not belong in the list!!!!!)
Lucy Verasamy the weather presenter has a rather sexy way of catching her breath during a sentence - she is a lovely looking gal too. I see her partner is another weather presenter - wonder what they talk about in bed?
While home on leave from the army, i hooked up with a gorgeous lass. Nothing wrong with her voice, but she had the most irritating laugh. Had to call time on the (very brief) relationship after only 3 days. I could just about put up with it when we were alone, but not when we were in company. I gave her some old pony about it no being fair on her seeing her every 6 months, and then for just the 3 weeks.
Ken - // While home on leave from the army, i hooked up with a gorgeous lass. Nothing wrong with her voice, but she had the most irritating laugh. //
With you on that one.
I would love an evening of dinner and dancing with the divine Alesha Dixon - but only if she could promise me she wouldn't laugh throughout the entire time!!
What about Joanna Lumley?
And Amanda Holden is attractive, but OMG her laugh - she cackles like a witch!! She is on the early radio show on Heart and honestly , to listen to her is painful!
I like the comments about the laugh. I was very taken by a girl at my first workplace (Insurance Head Office), but I couldn't stand her laugh - a very immature high-pitch tee-hee-hee-hee.
Barsel - I thought Janice was one of the best people in Friends.
And allowing for the fact that the actress couldn't talk and laugh like that out of character, I thought she was lovely.
I agree Andy, no matter how beautiful they are I run a mile when I hear certain accents. Whinny Scouse (there seems to be 2 scouse accents), Northern Ireland (but so parts of Eire fine!) but the absolute worse is any of those that can't say "o" like Snore instead of snow etc.
Tilly - // I thought you didn't like Gloria Hunniford, Andy. //
Her inclusion was a nod to the regulars, who are aware of my deep disdain for Ms Hunniford, and her habit of bringing absolutely any, and every, conversation around to the loss of her daughter.
