Looks may not matter if you smell hot and have a sexy accent, say scientists. In fact, they reckon that how you smell and how you talk are just as vital as body and facial appearance!
Like everything, looks and smells are subjective - as are accents. What are the accents that make you weak at the knees? Clearly a north Dublin accent is my favourite...especially the Swords accent! What about the listeners of The Early Breakfast?
