Professional couple. Why put this in profile?

We both work bloody hard so last thing on our mind when meeting someone is wanting to vet them on where they are on the career ladder. As soon as we see ‘professional couple’ it rings of spending an evening over dinner in a restaurant trying to outdo each other on what they do for a living and how much money they have.

Soap and water costs pennies, so can hardly judge how clean and presentable someone is by their status. Nobody wants to meet someone who stinks of body odour, but there’s plenty of ‘professional’ people who are soap dodgers, so why the snobbery when presenting themselves in their profile?

Honestly I'm a trucker as low on any pecking order as you like but I manage to shower almost every day or at least a wash. All it takes is half an hour out of your day for a shower at least.

Half an hour!? What the hell you doing in there, I've been known to be out the door after getting home in sun 10 mins including a number 2 and brushing my teeth!

Does it matter if they're professional or factory workers, as long as you are all compatible, you're not planning to marry them, presumably

"Define professional?? "

Someone paid to do something.

So technically, anyone that gets paid to work, however for the purpose of employment, a professional tends to be a member of a professional body or those not in manual roles.

If there looking to let there hair down and play then does it matter what there profession is? If there trying to point out there not a factory type worker then that means there putting themselves above other types of people. When take away jobs and money we’re all the same come into the world with nothing and leave it with nothing.

Professional infers that what you do is more than just a job. It's part of your sense of personal identity. Therefore though professional traditionaly reffered to recognosed trades and chartered/cretified occupations. It now inffers a mind set and perspective where by occupation and self are more deeply intertwined.

For example; you can be a professional cleaner or delivery van driver as much as you can be a professional: nurse, solicitor or metrologist.

Aaah...the inverted snobbery professional thread.

Is it really difficult for people to comprehend that certain words on this site are "ready reckoners", designed to help you sort suitable play mates.

Do you honestly think every fat bird is beautiful, or every black brother is hung like a horse? Of course not, but if you're looking for a gym fit playmate you know bbw isn't for you. If you want a playmate that's more than a big cock you avoid those sailing under bbc. Likewise, if you have a chip on your shoulder because you're a cleaner you can avoid the "professionals".

We all have our way of selecting playmates: not all will be in the way we like: so? Move on to the profiles that tickle your fancy.

It's just a way of finding people who are similar to yourself. Would I prefer to meet and chat with people in clubs where their jobs is a big part of them? Yes I would. Why? Because I prefer people who have had career goals and gone after jobs that they love, which fulfil them, and which give them a sense of purpose.

Do they fuck differently to someone who just does a job for the money? Proberbly not. But I like to talk to the people I screw as well as having sex with them, and I prefer to talk to people like me.

True but lots of people who don't have professional on their profile are like this. A lot of people also use their jobs in the military or fire service a their main selling point. It's giving information that helps others make decisions about whether they want to contact them or not.

i do love people who get their knickers in a twist about people expressing a preference that they think excludes them...

for the record though, at no point in any conversation preliminary to meeting up with people would what they or we do for a living come up...its a detail we are unwilling to share until we get to know people

Ours too. Using the word professional doesn't preclude this, although loads of people seem to think it does.

I think they're just trying to make a connection with like-minded people that share similar life experiences and backgrounds.

A dinner lady, is probably not going to feel very comfortable popping round to your public school educated barristers house and mixing with their social scene.

Likewise, your ex public school director of a multi national probably isn't going find the company or conversation stimulating when they visit their local waste management and disposal technicians humble abode.

We are professionals looking for other professionals can sound pretentious, elitist and condescending but, I'm sure, in most cases it's not meant that way. They obviously enjoy the social aspect of swinging and, want their pre and post sex conversation to be with people they can relate to and feel comfortable with... isn't that what we all want?

They have found one word "professional" that describes themselves and the sort of people they're looking for. It's concise!

If the phrase "Professional" causes such controversy, what should they use instead...so as not to offend the thinner skinned?

It's hardly worth the fuss is it!

Live and let live!

It suggests being educated but it seems like you have to be a bit of a dumbass to put "professional" on a sex profile. Still, I guess that is a way of filtering the preferred clientele.

They might not even be in a fancy job anyway. Some married guys say they're single. And have you ever noticed how many "firefighters" there are? On a thread elsewhere, 10% of those commenting on a thread about firefighters claimed to be firefighters. What are the odds? As the grandchild of a bookie I can tell you, fucking negligible, that's what.

I once had a "firefighter" email me. I did the fire service as part of my Duke of Edinburgh award, so I know a little technical detail, which I said I inteded to test him on. He disappeared pretty quick-smart.

So you do a professional-looking Word doc and have a fave wingding for your PowerPoint presentions? Big woo.
