Via an interview with College Times, Dale Ballard, founder of dating website DatingMashup.com explains why he created a website to help daters meet people with delicious delicious accents. After meeting women from other countries (don't worry gals, he says American girls are great too), he thought it was different to get to know people from other cultures, plus he found their accents attractive. Since he thought most people don't meet foreigners that often, he decided to create a website that would help with that.
Despite my weakness for accents, I don't think I'll be signing up for this one. Accents, while admittedly pretty hot, are just a superficial bonus like being tall or owning a boat. Sure, I might enjoy it if a man had any of those qualities, but I'm not going to date him solely for those things. That said, so long as this doesn't reach a weird level of fetishizing other cultures, it could be a really fun way to get to know people from a different culture than your own.
