Worked for me. Never been to America but met an American girl and apparently I have a real thick Australian accent which she absolutely loved. It was sort of liked that scene in "Love Actually"where the English guy goes to America except there was only one girl... and she didn't look quite as good
I also have a friend from NZ who is rather short and when he went to America he managed to score by telling girls he was an extra in the Shire scenes in "Lord of the Rings"![]()
