I'm glad that Estonia isn't on the list... it definitely would be somewhere at the bottom

World's Worst Lovers:

3. Estonia (too drunk)


Interesting to see that Greece is so behind though as it is one of the world's top sex-tourism places for women.

Everywhere I go Chicks indeed are drooling over Spaniards but Spanish dudes admit that the dudes from Argentina are stealing their women But it has to do with the accent, as most of them have Italian roots and then Spanish... and their Spanish language has a strong Italian flavor to it and supposedly makes all the Spaniard chicks wild.

They speak slower. I only two semesters of spanish, but can understand the Argentinians that I have met. I have lived with Tex-Mexicans my whole like and catch about every third word.

yep, a little bit slower and really expressing the vowels like Italians.
Italian and Spanish are very similar anyway, the biggest difference is the intonation, Spanish is more flat while in Italian during the vowels, the pitch and the volume rises.

That's why for example New York accent it is the way it is. Specially the old Brooklyn mob accent. Heavy Italian influence. Really expressive vowels and whatnot.
Or let's take our own Bill Z Bub, even though he has lived in Ohio for his whole life he doesn't have midwestern accent at all as he is from an Italian neighborhood and his whole family is Italian. He sounds like he is from Brooklyn only his "A"-s in middle of the word doesn't go to "OA" which is usual for Now York.

Also New Orleans yat accent has more in common with NY accent than with southern accents as they are somewhat isolated from the rest of the Louisiana and traditionally have had close ties more with Latin/Romanic world influenced Caribbean cultures than with Anglo-Saxon culture.

What's also interesting is that when I was hanging out in Griffith Park in LA with a couple of friends from Spain then they kept telling me that the Mexicans thought they were Italians
And they speak classic Castellano Spanish not Catalan or Galician as they are from Andalusia.
