"Stating on your profile that you are a professional (couple, guy, or woman). I was just curious what this is generally taken as meaning. Is it: 1. I have am not unemployed 2. I have a very serious job 3. I am good enough to "go-pro" so to speak, a real great swinger Or 4. You quite honestly are a professional, otherwise called an escort? I just thought it'd be interesting to hear peoples thoughts, no offence or anything intended. I use it to state I have a job and so am not home all day. x" or......better than others | |||

"up their own arse. think thats what they mean." haha made me laugh but i think that just about sums it up i was talking to a couple once many years ago, i was working in a care home at the time, we had spoken on the phone, on msn and was arranging a meet when the woman asked what i did for a living so i told them i worked in a care home, they seemed quite impressed at meeting a nurse till i said no im just a care worker, everything went dead and she came back with, in that case your not really for us as we like people we can hold a conversation with  lol

It never fails to amaze me the inverted snobbery this thread always throws up. What is it with some of you?!! Are you really so bereft of things to worry your sorry lives that you feel the necessity to nit pick other peoples profiles where they state what THEY are and what THEY are looking for?!! How does that affect you?!! How does that make them up their own arse?!!
If I see someone has no blacks, no BBWs etc on their profile, guess what people that is THEIR choice. I'm not going to start a thread moaning about people having a preference that excludes me!!!
If you're a Rhodes Scholar you're hardly going to have anything in common with a high school drop out with an IQ lower than their age no matter how sexy they may appear. Swinging is more about just shagging for some of us, and being with people we feel comfortable with, regardless of whether it's looks, education, profession etc, it's just another identifer to finding like minded people.
If you live in a council house and work on the bins why would you feel that someone who's a doctor and puts "professional" on their profile is looking down on you and up their own arse?!!
Some of you really, do need to get over yourselves. Jealousy and inadequacy is a VERY ugly trait!!!

For gods sake..you either work or you dont...values?..bollocks!...I used to be in a social circle of some very rich and 'gentrified people..oh yes they had so values..they would stitch each other up at the drop of a hat..snort , carry on with their friends parters behind their backs...go shop lifting purely for the 'wheeze' etc...
But..according to them they were 'middle class'
The area I come from was built by people who had fuck all...but they dont touch drugs, certainly dont steal and messing with your mates mrs would earn you a much deserved 'slap'..and wife swapping back would be right off the radar!!,,as it was once considered a 'middle class' thing for people in the suburbs
The fact that some people only eat organic tofo, burn joss stick and sit in deep appreciation of Leonard Cohen doesnt make them any different from people who eat chips like chas an dave and earn their money the hard way
Values?...effin values??????
Maybe people who see themselves as middle class are trying to put themselves on a pedestal above others?...
Maybe people who consider themselves as 'just ordinary working class' have a complex of inferiority?
People like my Dad...who would say 'the rich,managers, bosses etc dont want to know people like us..cos we are working class'...he was ashamed of himself, but it came out as a resentment of those 'better' than him
He would tell me 'people like us dont do that sort of work...we are working class...we dig the roads, build houses, sweep streets'...and for a while it rubbed off
If he could only see me now...
Oh..and what do people actually mean when they say 'professional'?...my neighbour considered himself a professional lorry driver..cos that what he does for a living...
Other people we know say they are 'professional' as they have an import/export business (selling Amway!)
Its probably similar to the words 'celebrity' these days...very overplayed | |||

"If people have said they are here to meet only professionals, then I can see why that would come across as snobby. But I wouldn't say just describing yourself as professional was snobby. I'm sure there are some numpties out there who will turn their noses up at the jobs other people do or the areas they live in etc But I can't imagine most people who write it are sat there thinking "and all those who aren't are not worthy of meeting me," perhaps I'm being naive?" No some of us dont care and i fancy our local dustman and the local hood, they are sooooo hot | |||

"Have never seen any so-say professionals putting down their opposites on here - seems the other way round in this thread! People are generally always nasty about their opposites, whether they're at the top or bottom of the social ladder." Hooray ......honesty at last. I've never seen a so called professional calling others either. It's ALWAYS the other way around. Someone starts a thread about professional on a profile , no one even knows who it is .and SOME generally the self pitying start hammering loud and long about it. | |||

"you dont even know me so you cannot make a judgement on who/how i am. why you would i dont know as ive not gone out of my way to offend ot personally attack you. a forum is for free open debate, i added to it as entitled to do so. im sorry you disagree with my comments and have taken them personally but to then start casting doubts on my character when you do not know me is not exceptable. the problem is clearly with you as i have nothing against you now or previously. in fact i remember we exchanged pleasant messages recently. sorry you feel this way. . I am normally polite and pleasant, however, I have been known to let my claws up if I am rubbed the wrong way. I am a professional, and would always defend those who choose to call themselves professionals who are being ridiculed by others through no fault of their own except to have professional qualifications. I have no axe to grind with anyone. However, I will stand up and be counted if I feel the need to do so, like when a subject matter close to my heart is being discussed, and that some of the comments are not justified, not to mention downright rude and biased.

"Stating on your profile that you are a professional (couple, guy, or woman). I was just curious what this is generally taken as meaning. Is it: 1. I have am not unemployed 2. I have a very serious job 3. I am good enough to "go-pro" so to speak, a real great swinger Or 4. You quite honestly are a professional, otherwise called an escort? I just thought it'd be interesting to hear peoples thoughts, no offence or anything intended. I use it to state I have a job and so am not home all day. x" I take it as meaning 5. 5 - I have too much of a life to worry about how people class themselves on their profile when they use non-offensive terms... and yet at the same time I am almost slightly amazed by the number of insecure people who have to object to the use of a perfectly reasonable term/phrase/word. | |||

"Just read through this and i don't know if others have picked up but there seems to be an undercurrent jealousy of what some see as professionals. Just because someone has an education don't make them a time waster or up their own arse. Also just because someone has a professional status it dosn't mean they are rolling in lucre so its no reason to be envious. So lets get the professional thing in context. People use it as a term of standards mainly. Ie i am a professional as in i am clean, well groomed, my house is to a certain standard i am polite and well mannered. Ok they may not be and they may be arrogant but that is the individual not their working status. I think granny had point saying that she worked hard for her qualifications as did many others. Equally why knock someone who digs holes! FFS they are the people who have worked all hours in freezing conditions to mend broken pipes. In reality we need both types of worker. Sorry but i find this sort of shit inherently infuriating. As many may know i served in the gulf and without solders and the officers and professional back room staff we would have been fucked. So can we please get of our social horses and give a little respect to all because frankly without everyone the country wouldn't tick properly." Well said that man. It seems to be mostly people with an inferiority rather than a superiority complex who have trouble with this. | |||

I have no bones to pick with anyone, as I said earlier, what people do for a living really doesn't make any odds to me. It certainly isn't something that I would ask prior to a meet. If it comes up in conversation then it comes up in conversation.
Perhaps I'm hypocritical, and I know that I'm a bit of a snob in that I'd like potential playmates to be a little bit smart but you don't need a degree to be smart. There are all types of smart. There's nothing more off-putting than a chip on a shoulder though, regardless of who the shoulder belongs to.
What's written on paper, much like verifications, are merely that, a piece of paper. Hats off to those who have worked hard. Hats off to those who have come from nothing. Hats off to those who have a random job doing something they love (I sure as hell would like to be in that position) but in the grand old scheme of things, you don't require to be qualified to have sex and forgive me if I'm mistaken, but that's why we're mostly here isn't it?
So if you're thick as shit, then I'm sorry about that, but hopefully you'll meet your match and find someone to fuck.
If you're a smarty pants then good for you, hopefully you'll meet someone who matches your intellect and keeps you happy in the sack.

"Despite all that has previously been said on this thread, the fact is that there are probably as many, if not more, professionals who don't state it on their profiles than do. What the O.P was asking was why some feel the need to add it? Is it just something to rank alongside, "Good standard of living", "Good looking", "Hot", "Sexy", etc ? Only a very few "professionals" have actually said why they feel the need to state it on their profiles......which was the original question.

"Wow I genuinely wouldn't have had half of them as professional, I thought it was people with degrees, like doctors etc. Cool, I used to be a professional pmsl but now I'm a lowly shop worker :- Maybe I'll put ex professional on my profile and see if it makes any difference
On the same note, coz I'm an ex professional that means I can tell those who insist I am, that I'm no longer up my own arse! woo hoo, this has been an enlightening morning | |||

I think we will all try to socialise and even play within our own social groups and that there is always those that will use the "Professional" title to impress, however those that want to put it on their profile should be allowed to, I wont as im far too good for that.

left self open there! "You've just repeated what I've said!
A "very attractive, slim" person wouldn't "class" a plain, fat person in their league, and many such profiles state that. I find those profiles more snobbish than any with "professional" on it.
I've NEVER seen a "professional" profile stating only seeking people in upper tax bracket!
As I said, inverted snobbery: nothing to be done about other people's insecurities!

"YOU may think there are better ways of describing yourself, and I'd agree with you, but I don't see how others see fit to describe themselves as a negative, or any of my business. It makes them feel good about themselves, just like the soilders, fireman, policeman etc on here that put their professions down. It's a selling point, the same way as "slim, attractive" is for some.
