"This is what I read in someone's profile as an explanation why he would never show his face publicly." its a valid reason. If he doesn't want to show his face because it would jeopardise his job I think he's being sensible | |||

"In my work. What does it mean? That outside work you're not?" My dyslexia nearly got the better of me then reading that title I think people often use it to state they’re not working class and have better jobs. To me it doesn’t matter. Yes I’m a professional but attraction in someone else doesn’t need to come down to what they do for work imo | |||

"I understand that people might not want to show their face. For whatever reason. But to say it's because "I'm a professional" I just find rather weird " I personally wouldn’t want my patients or there relatives to see me on here which is why I don’t have a full face picture. But you can state it in other ways that being a professional. I’m happy to explain to anyone if they asked | |||

"Once people are naked we are all the same, it's not where you come from or where you are going & not what you have or don't have. People term themselves mostly for confidence to part of something like a group or a gang for acceptance in society. Me & Kim have friends ranging from those that don't have a pot to pee in to some that are millionaires, you could put them in the same room & no would would know they lead different lives. Don't label yourselves guys just enjoy people for who there are." I’m the same. If fact the richer friends I have dress like they’re not the richer friends. In a room of people you’d be picking them as the skint ones | |||

Indeed there is some info that should be explained such as when & how they will meet but there are a lot of unnecessary fantasies too. | |||

So you would have no problems sleeping with a unemployed single mom with 6 children living in a counsel house surviving on the dole?" I don’t judge anyway for who they are black/white/brown. Gay/straight/bi. Male/female/trans/tv/cd. or what they have/don’t have. If I get on with them I get on with them. If I’m attracted to someone then I’m attracted to them and it’s as simple as that. If that sounds perfect as you put it that’s not me trying to be perfect that’s me as a person. I used to work in addiction services now many would frown at someone who’s addicted to drugs and/alcohol but I’ve met some of the nicest people on the planet. Polite, kind, genuine people. Same with someone who hears voices or has psychosis. Or self harms. My personal problem is that there’s too much judgment of those less fortunate with little consideration of the full narrative behind why someone doesn’t work and had 6 kids or whatever the issue is as most would have. Now on the flip side to that. Yes it’s one thing meeting someone for a FWB situation or even a one off meet although that’s not my thing, who has 6 kids or however many but I wouldn’t want to be in a full relationship with that person as I dislike kids and would never want to be a step parent at any level. But that’s just my preference. But that’s not to say I couldn’t enjoy time in there company away from the kids. I’m a completely honest person and I will always endeavour to answer any question posed to me to the best of my ability. I’m an open book on the whole although parts of my life I choose to keep to myself in terms of I wouldn’t discuss fab/swinging with my work colleagues or even discuss any of my personal life with them. I’m selective who I share stuff with in my friends circle about involvement in swinging but that’s because some maybe many wouldn’t get it. Hope that answers your question and settles your curiosity. | |||

"It’s the perfect word for a profile. If you like it, it works to let people know what type of person you are. If you don’t like it, it separates people who don’t want to see each other. So this thread is redundant. Basically this thread is. I don’t like some people’s profiles. Not news really. " You’re implying everyone labelling themselves as “Professional” looks down their nose at others they feel are “out of their depth” in their company. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the case. I was always taught to never take people at face value, you should try it. You can meet all kinds of wonderful people from all kinds of backgrounds and professions | |||

"It's really just a sense of entitlement.... No one's profession makes their need for discretion any more important than the next person.... We all want discretion for different reasons.... If you need to make yourself feel important by saying you professional or Educated then I think it's got more to do with your own Insecurity or need to feel important..... I'd take a decent human being over a professional or educated twat any day.... Your profession doesn't make you better, and neither does your financial status.... I've met people who have less from a financial point of view, but they still have more class than people who have a better financial standing in society " Why get so upset? So you don’t like someone who doesn’t like you. It’s not a problem is it. Don’t meet them. | |||

"Some professional people might have an honest reason if they have a very high profile job but the majority of job it wouldnt really inflict on its a cop out when people put it. I dont understand why people hide they have an open sexlife society is so narrow minded and tunnel visioned its rather sad" There many professions, jobs whatever you want to call it, where being seen on here by ‘clients’ or colleagues could have a huge repercussions. | |||

"We had a social with one couple who were clearly out of their depth. That seriously smacks of arrogance. So be it. We aren’t suited. It’s all there for just that. Well after this pandemic alot of middle class people aren't going to be middle class anymore due to job losses, so I guess your "pool" is going to shrink substantially over next few months.... I mean who knows, you may not completely safe from being knocked off your middle class pedestal? And I am from a middle class background myself, before you assume I'm speaking from a place of not understanding, many of my middle class friends are at real risk of this. There’s more to being middle class than your job. It’s how you conduct yourself in daily life. " Yeah but you say that if a person can't afford to meet you at restaurant that you deem to be to your middle class standard, then they not for you.... Lots of people who live in middle class areas are Just about making it, so can't really afford regular lavish meals out, so you've made it about their affordability of life style, not how they carry themselves | |||

I meet people Im attracted to, their class or financial standing is irrelevant, I'm not looking for a partner on fab so my requirements are very different here. And I'm not upset at all I'm putting my opinion across just like every one else. Why would I upset myself over the opinion of a couple I'd not meet anyway? | |||

"I saw a profile once where the couple described themselves as professionals and said something along the lines of "if you are the type of people that work shifts we don't want to know"! Guess that ruled out doctors, nurses, other emergency services etc. - this was pre-lockdown That’s me ruled out and as a nurse I think I’m formally classed as a professional In your previous post you describe yourself as unprofessional I’m an unprofessional professional but I’m still a nurse however you view it I don't dispute that. Why are people so wary of being described as professional or people describing themselves that way? I think it’s a class issue. Them and us. Rather than fellow humans. Ok. I personally have no problem with someone describing themselves as professional in a profile. I assume that they're describing themselves in an effort to give an idea of what I can expect. I don't see it as an exclusive thing or a class issue I guess it depends how it’s written and the expectation behind it. I’m not put off by it as such depending what’s around it. As I said earlier attraction n connection comes before someone’s career or lack of career for me Me too. Which is why I find it difficult to understand why people have such a problem with professionals if job status is irrelevant to them. " A lot of this conversation is in code. "Professional" tends to mean someone who considers themselves more intelligent, educated, cultured or whatever than the average person on here. Obviously that goes with the implication that other people are not intelligent, educated, cultured etc. Such people quite naturally resent that implication. It's the great British disease of class. People quite naturally prefer to spend time with people with whom they have something in common, but it seems that in this country that can't go without resentment. Thus the "professionals" resent the "chavs" and the "down to earth" people resent those who are "stuck up". I don't know of a solution | |||

"Are all the chavs at each other again ???" It appears you are not allowed to do well for yourself and provide for your family. And to seek people with a similar ethic to yourself. | |||

I never knew that being non-judgemental would make people think you somehow come across as a try-hard but hey ho we are all different I guess " Ohhh no way my friend..... If you read the forums for a long time , you will notice only women voice their preference and standards about the men they choose to meet.. The men who post frequently seem to all be non judgmental saints ... In a bbw thread , they love bbw’s... in a slim woman thread , they love slim women... They also never stand anyone up , and they will diagnose anyone that has stood someone up as “ Mad “... So I asked this question to you because I really wanted to see if you were a forum Saint... I must be the only man on the forums who would say .. I wouldn’t sleep with people from or go to certain neighborhoods...no matter how attractive they are... Does that make me judgemental or honest? My mother always told me “ You can’t be perfect, you can only be yourself “ Sorry if I caused any offense, thank you for the great job you’re doing.....please stay safe | |||

It’s not always about looks it’s about connections. It’s also not about genders. Yes like everyone I can rule people out for strange reasons and some maybe not that explainable. I like what I like and that’s never following a type if that makes sense. | |||
