How important is the sound of your girlfriend/boyfriend's voice?

[jcrew11]

I was just thinking about how some people have really annoying voices or are kinda whiny when they speak. Other people have kinda flat, unemotional voices.

 

I think I'm more attracted to women with "confident voices" rather than "quiet, needy voices"

 

Does anyone else have the same problem, where someone's voice is a real turn-off? Or if someone had a really confident voice that really seduced you?

 

I talked on the phone with a customer who was a semi-professional voice actress and it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. She sounded so confident, sexy, and charming.

I've had the opposite. Perfectly good gentleman, great looking - tall, dark eyes, sound head on his shoulders... A bit too confident, for my taste, but his voice, oh my God! Somewhat squeaky and a bit Duffy Duck like. The sound of voice I mean... I can't, I am sorry. I tried to loud bars, loud dinners with 10 Italian friends near, loud clubs. Nope, it'll never happen, I couldn't even kiss the guy, it down right cut my appetite, if you know what I mean. I never knew that about myself, but yes, the sound of a man's voice is extremely important.

Yes...the sound of a woman's voice can be a deal-breaker. Ideally, you should be attracted to a person who satisfies all 5 senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch. Sound is damn important to me....same as smell and taste.

Yah, I know a girl that is very beautiful and smart, makes good money, good sense of humour, but the way she talks sounds so phony and I don't trust anything she says, like she's playing me.

 

I've known her for 10 years or so, maybe longer, so I know she's not any of these things but my primal instincts just tell me to steer clear. I've tried to get over it, but just cant.

 

Really squeeky, valley girl type of voice. Blah!!!

Actually I did sleep with her in high school. It was after knowing her for quite a while. It was purely for sex, not for a relationship, because as I stated earlier, she annoyed me.

 

Just because I want sex early in a relationship doesn't mean it's the only thing I respect. With her though, it's all I wanted and she knew this but went for it anyways. So what's so wrong with that? Two willing people having sex, you make it out like all men manipulate women and we're all evil creatures lurking in the shadows.

I spent several weeks chatting with a guy via email. He taught fire-jumping and was a captain of local fire department (verified). By all accounts, a "manly-man" who should have done it for me.

 

Then, one day, we had our first phone conversation... He had the highest, squeekiest voice ever and it was a complete and total turn off.

Pretty sure there's a seinfeld episode about this.

I agree that the sound of his voice has an impact on the way I feel about him. I found myself lusting over someone after hearing his voice. He had a great sense of humor, was romantic, interesting, and he had an accent. His looks on the other hand were... ok. He was attractive but not exactly my type. One instance where his voice, charm, and personality trumped his looks...

 

So weird that I was actually thinking of him today!

Voice is very important. Not just tone but also inflection and accent. We all have preconceived ideas about people from how they speak.

 

What are your knee-jerk assumptions about someone with a soft female southern accent? What about a deep male voice with a Boston accent? A jersey accent? A nasal voice?

 

So yeah a voice is important. I couldn't stand that tv show The Nanny but it was on for years. Just like anything else the attractiveness of a voice is subjective. Except for Sean Connery of course. I don't know anyone who doesn't love his voice.

oh, don't tell me about accents, please! I remember dating this British guy with the most mind blowing accent. I'm still wearing his scars (figuratively speaking), but boy, wasn't it fun dating him

i am attracted to voices ....i actually think the voices i have been attracted to have been slightly higher...not as raspy...... a bit cultured....one of my exes has this voice that actually grates on me...maybe he has yelled at me one or two many times......arrogant too.....

 

but my last ex had this soft voice heaven when it is next to your ear...smilin...he definitely knew hwo to whisper sweet nothings.....we were in an ldr...his voice on the phone and apparently my voice to him , he felt the same..i think my voice is goofy but he didnt.....kept me thinking of him when he wasnt there...remembering how he spoke to me......soft words said with silk like intent...aka seduction.....hsi voice never changes.....measured never raises it....never ridicules....sweet..deb

I've found voice to be VERY powerful. My girlfriend and I, immediately hypnotized each other with our voices from the 1st instant we spoke! I have this deep powerful resonating magnetic voice ( her description ), and hers is so clear, beautiful, tranquil, sharp, sweeping, emotional and intelligent all combined! We both simply can't get over just listening to each other! Even one year later we still compliment each other regularly how much we loves each others voice!
