By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I have come across MANY profile that class themselves as professionals. I wanted to know what you think defines calling yourself a professional.

For me and maybe professional snobbery.. I feel I can be called a professional as I have had to undertake a degree to be able to practice in my chosen profession.

But how do you define it?

I think many on here who call themselves a professional (or proffesional) ... would come under the "estate agent" definition.. as in they are not students and they have a job.

I always take it with a pinch of salt when I see it on profiles and tbh really don't care what people I meet on here do for a living.

To me (and others will disagree) a professional person is somebody who has a professional qualification or degree; that said I have a degree but these days work in a field which is not related to the original qualification. Does that make me professional? Not by the generally applied terms of understanding.

Does it matter on a swing site? It does not to me - as long as the other person can hold a decent conversation and is prepared to accept other views as different.

Completely agree with you - and I question the motive and need to have the "professional" bit in the profile tbh. It does not make me want to meet/ not meet somebody.

I think some people take it as meaning that they are capable of holding a decent conversation. I used to have it on my profile but I changed it to well-educated but I worry that it may sound a bit pompous.

I would agree with the first bit but I think people have the right to call theirselves professional with out a qualification to back it up.

I generally just take it to mean (in this sort of context anyway) people who take their career seriously.

As in estate / letting agents advertising for professionals as tenants... simply meaning not students and not receiving housing benefit, therefore employed and earning money.

Sorry terribly judgmental but to me it means they don't wear white shell suits, don't drive a corsa with blacked out windows, have a job which is a career and they care about losing it, don't have a lynch mob mentality and are probably nice people to chat to irrespective of how unorthodox they see. Just means they care about the impression they give.

For me, use the term professional in context.

On a swinging site people are generally wanting to meet others for social and sexual fun. They are not looking to recruit employees, so therefore the term professional doesn't refer to whether people hold academic qualifications.

To put it really bluntly, people want to meet others who share similar lifestyles, and not those that they have nothing in common with.

That's how i interpret the use of it whether people like it or not is a different matter.

I've always thought it was the new name for what they used to call 'White Collar Workers' as opposed to 'Manual Labourers'. However I agree with Bambi that we all should be professional in the way we conduct ourselves in everyday life.

I could define myself as professional on my profile but think on a site for fun it makes some people look pretentious and stuck up their bums when they ram their professional "status" down peoples throats as if it makes a difference to their personalities?

By all means use it as a selling point if you feel you need to though

Its not something I look for as part of my attraction to someone

I quite agree that being a professional does not mean you are up your own arse.

That said I would not mention any of my qualifications on a swing site - people (who read profiles) will be able to tell from my profile that I can string a sentence together and hopefully that I am a nice person worth meeting

It doesn't bother me if someone describes themselves as a professional, even if they are not one in the traditional sense. I can understand why many do and whilst I don't use the word to describe myself or what I am looking for in people... I'd sooner meet someone who did use the word than some thick cunt who doesn't get it and then whinges about it. But that's just me so I guess it's all down to personal preferences once again.

all over the place

Its a good question ,there is a clear distinction with the "professional".

Unfortunately it has nothing really to do with making a person or persons a good meet so i dont really know why people use the term as if its going to make a difference.

The house of lords a number of years ago defined a profession (or professional ) a few years back via a debate in the house of lords under the speaker Lord Denison who concluded there are definite obligations to the public and concluded these nine obligations are

• First, the profession must be controlled by a governing body which in professional matters directs the behaviour of its members.

• Secondly, the governing body must set adequate standards of education as a condition of entry and thereafter ensure that students obtain an acceptable standard of professional competence. Training and education ... continue throughout the member's professional life.

• Thirdly, the governing body must set the ethical rules and professional standards which are to be observed by the members. They should be higher than those established by the general law.

• Fourthly, the rules and standards enforced by the governing body should be designed for the benefit of the public and not for the private advantage of the members.

• Fifthly, the governing body must take disciplinary action, if necessary, expulsion from membership should the rules and standards it lays down not be observed or should a member be guilty of bad professional work.

• Sixthly, work is often reserved to a profession by statute - not because it was for the advantage of the members but because, for the protection of the public, it should be carried out only by persons with the requisite training, standards and disciplines.

• Seventhly, the governing body must satisfy itself that there is fair and open competition in the practice of the profession ...

• Eighth, the members of the profession, whether in practice or in employment, must be independent in thought and outlook.They must not allow themselves to be put under the control or dominance of any person or organization which could impair that independence.

• Ninth, in its specific field of learning, a profession must give leadership to the public it serves.

i have no idea what people are trying to say on profiles where the term is used but it has nothing to do with personality ,commitment to personal realationships or sex.

The house of lords a number of years ago defined a profession (or professional ) a few years back via a debate in the house of lords under the speaker Lord Denison who concluded there are definite obligations to the public and concluded these nine obligations are

• First, the profession must be controlled by a governing body which in professional matters directs the behaviour of its members.

• Secondly, the governing body must set adequate standards of education as a condition of entry and thereafter ensure that students obtain an acceptable standard of professional competence. Training and education ... continue throughout the member's professional life.

• Thirdly, the governing body must set the ethical rules and professional standards which are to be observed by the members. They should be higher than those established by the general law.

• Fourthly, the rules and standards enforced by the governing body should be designed for the benefit of the public and not for the private advantage of the members.

• Fifthly, the governing body must take disciplinary action, if necessary, expulsion from membership should the rules and standards it lays down not be observed or should a member be guilty of bad professional work.

• Sixthly, work is often reserved to a profession by statute - not because it was for the advantage of the members but because, for the protection of the public, it should be carried out only by persons with the requisite training, standards and disciplines.

• Seventhly, the governing body must satisfy itself that there is fair and open competition in the practice of the profession ...

• Eighth, the members of the profession, whether in practice or in employment, must be independent in thought and outlook.They must not allow themselves to be put under the control or dominance of any person or organization which could impair that independence.

• Ninth, in its specific field of learning, a profession must give leadership to the public it serves.

i have no idea what people are trying to say on profiles where the term is used but it has nothing to do with personality ,commitment to personal realationships or sex.

Just realised that actually with my other qualification and hat... I am now a genuine professional - What a relief "

makes you wonder if fabswingers had professional body what would be the rules ,i can only guess at the diciplinary ones lol

I can verify people's photos as genuine for passport and driving licence applications if I know them for 2 years or more.

If you interact with people you, I, we must do it in a professional manner!! that means...no SHOUTING, no swearing. Just speaking to people in a polite and respectful manner will do!

Makes no difference to me. I never bother reading peoples profiles anyway. I'm the first to hoot with laughter the second I see a spelling or grammatical mistake on a profile that said 'professional' - if I were ever to read that which I never would ever anyway.

Don't want to tar everyone with the same brush but most profiles that have messaged me and have professional on their profile, they usually tend to come over with a better than you attitude and think having professional on their profile means that they have a right to get other peoples pics/phone numbers before they need to give them

Again no everyone is like that but the majority have been like that

I never understand why it matters what you do for a living on here

I have met guys who have good well paid jobs and guys who have been unemployed, does having a good job make you a better meet? nicer to talk to? better in bed? not in my experience no

soon as people start asking about my job on here I stop talking to them, as I don't see what it matters, if someone's going to choose wether to meet me based on my job i'll take the decision out of their hands

What does it matter? No one reads the profiles anyway (noted by the amount on non bi playing straight couples who wink/invite us despite missing the word bisexual in our sub title title) so who really cares

Probably a rather sweeping generalization to say 'nobody' - I, for one read every Goddam word of any profile I look at which admittedly is only a few

A sweeping generalisation to note that you are but one of the 17486 currently online who does read profiles?

Point noted.

To re-phrase then: Virtually no one reads the profiles.

lol, get a "fitted shag" and you would be ahead of the times and possibly could be envied, now a fit shag is good, a fitted one would be great

"Didn't listen too well at school so worked hard later in life for national cert, hnc, diploma and a degree, interviewed before being allowed to join professional body, chartered status, continual training and education, paying fees. These are all things that put me into a professional bracket and it pisses me off when it is shortened to 'up your own arse' ... hard work brings rewards not a defective personality "
