"Does the term 'professional couple' on here, mean they both get paid for there jobs? "
Of course they'd get paid for their jobs - as most people are. The term 'professional' indicates there are formal qualifications required in order to do the job. I tend to think of professionals to be the likes of solicitors, doctors, teachers, bankers, accountants, IT specialists etc
Other people may have a different view. |

"It means that they have jobs, but for whatever reason consider their jobs to be more important than most people's and would only like to meet people who are similarly arrogant. "
Haha, that's what I concluded! |

I’m not a professional, but I don’t see any issue with people describing themselves as such. It’s just one little piece of the jigsaw that helps you decide if it’s somebody you’d like to meet; for some it’s a positive, for others it’s a negative. But I’d get no more pissy about it than people looking for tall guys or vwe guys or whatever. |

you can genuinely conclude that people are arrogant because they describe themselves as professional |

"I'm a professional bricklayer."
.
This (or something similar) comes up every time. There’s a difference between a noun and an adjective, and there’s a difference between the noun ‘professional’ and the adjective ‘professional’.
.
The thing that I don’t get is why people get pissy about others using it, then go to any length to classify themselves as it too. It makes no sense.
.
Let it go. |

Of course - everyone who has a job is technically a professional.
They are the sort of people who probably have their degree certificate framed on the wall and are in MENSA.

I have to say that was my first thought. I agree with what this poster has said though, it genuinely isn;t important how other people describe themselves. |

The other thing that folk need to learn is that this site isn’t the only place where the word ‘professional’ is used to mean something specific. It’s used across the whole English-speaking world, and has been for a very, very long time. Announcing, “I’m a professional window cleaner,” on a swinging site forum will not change a thing. |

The point isn't that they fit into the "professional" category of workers, it is their need to announce it on a swingers website which is the telling part. |

Some of my best friends are professional window cleaners, ones got a certificate.

In which case, see my earlier point. Given your clear dislike, count yourself lucky that people are crossing themselves off your list for you. |

My mate is a professional window cleaner, he's got 'best in the west' on his van. But I've seen at least 8 other vans with that written on, so I think he could be lying. |

It could mean the work they do, means they don't chip their nails, got soft hands, finger nails that never get dirty, have cars less than three years old. Got to the gym and have evian on the go. Have a swivel chair and a desk. Use a fountain pen, laminated business cards and wear a t jacket with elbow patches and a flat cap to match. Oh and a personalised silver condom box with tissue dispenser. |

They don't need to - I wouldn't message a profile that I thought belonged to dullards anyway.
It's almost as bad as the sort of people who like to have conversations about their salary in public. |

Although it is amusing that guys who try and exploit "stereotypically sexy" jobs (Services, fireman etc etc) are routinely mocked on here (And rightly so), but mock the "professional" and suddenly there is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. |

I think its an outdated word and yes, one that used to be used for bankers, solicitors, etc. I suppose on here , people who call themselves professionals are looking for other people that call themselves professionals  |

One thing that confuses me about “ Professionals “ that will only have sex with other “ Professionals “ .... is when you are all naked in a room , without your “ Professional “ attire, framed certificates or bank statements handy to play mammon top trumps with , would you really not fuck the naked person in the same room as you ? And ...... does your career choice dictate the quality of the sex you give or receive ? Why this bizarre career apartheid? It’s only a job ... |

"The word professional causes offence to some people and not others.And people get inexplicably annoyed by the actions of people they claim to have no interest in."
The only person who has got irritated so far is you.
It doesn't make me angry if I read a profile and I think it's been written by a knobhead, I just.... roll my eyes and get on with my day.
I'm finding it mildly amusing how some on here are so desperate to infer that either or I (or anyone else on this thread) doesn't like professional people - that isn't true. It's not about what they do for a living, it's why they feel it necessary to mention it.
It's very "Hyacinth Bucket"..... |

You seem to be having s bit of difficulty with reading comprehension. I’m not irritated. I’m not the one being bafflingly snarky about the words other people use to define themselves.
.
And nobody has accused you of disliking professionals. The distinction that it’s those who use the term is quite clear. That doesn’t make your prissiness about it any less amusing to the casual observer.
.
You claim to roll your eyes and get on with your day, and yet here you are, repeatedly whining about it. Go and get on with your day. |

Are you in MENSA? Do you have your degree certificate framed on the wall?

Sorry, I broke my collarbone a few weeks ago and have way to much time on my hands. Hence why I'm on the forum more than I should. Also I'm using a crappy phone with a broken screen and can't see what I'm typing. (Broke phone the same as collarbone) |

As I said, you have difficulty with reading comprehension. I stated my position on this quite clearly. And, since you have difficulty, no, I’m not in Mensa, and no, I don’t have my degree certificate framed on the wall.
.
But nor do I have a childish preoccupation with how others choose to spend their time or identify themselves. |

Why is it that people who describe themselves as professional warrant name-calling? What have they, as a group of people, ever done to deserve some of the comments that have been said about them in this thread and many others threads?

No ....at people's use of the P word. There's an element of reverse snobbery in people's judgement, do you think?
People can write what they wish, but I'd take far more heed of their opinions and attitude, than the simple use of that word, to describe their situation in life? |

How you market yourself on fab is entirely up to the members concerned . Generally the term would mean that someone has obtained additional qualifications and will be a member of a governing body.
It is simply a piece of additional information concerning a member . If you have worked hard for qualifications there is no reason why you should not be able to mention it .
I guess that those who have these qualifications have probably guessed that it may put a small number of narrow minded or intolerant people off.. |

Well said. I just can't understand what the issue is. It's just a way of expressing a preference. Why belittle those who choose to use it. If it's something that irks you just move on. |

I know where the butthurt is coming from and it ain't from people who choose not to talk about their job on a swingers site profile....
Another analogy:
If I see a car with a personalised number plate, I don't get offended or annoyed.
Do I think the person driving it is probably a bit of a cock and possibly have a small chuckle depending upon the ridiculousness of the number plate?
Yes, yes I do. |

Fair enough, you aren’t butt hurt. But why would you describe a whole group of people as dullards, arrogant or cocks? I’m not ashamed to admit that I’d be extremely hurt if someone who doesn’t know me described me as such, just because I do things a bit different from them.

Very well said, I am a professional however, I haven’t put it on my profile. I’m proud of my profession and I worked very hard to do what I do.
I think people mention it, simply to assure you they are of good character perhaps? |

I don’t necessarily judge people who state they’re professionals, but I do always wonder if they’re implying that they’re educated and therefore, want similar. For me, that’s something that you can pick up via a couple of messages anyway. |
