Don't care. Really annoys us when We see that on a profile as it has zero to do with sex.

To me, professional is an attitude and not a payslip.

I'm a company director...Sound professional?

So far I've earned fuck all!

Previously I was a Development manager on 60k

But throughout all of that I carry myself in a manner that respects other people regardless of their walk of life

Id say mostly its being either in the right place at the right time that gives you the right opportunity or pushing yourself academically if you get the chance.

Most people are affraid of going out of their comfort zone or taking a chance

My daughter was a year higher in English and two years higher in maths but she got picked on by the friends of her age and the older students whose class she was in...... They thought she was a swat but she wernt these talents came naturally from me.....

Anyway no one pushed he to achieve her potentials and she couldnt accept the taunting. So she kept her head down and just did the same as the others her age...... What a shame and a waste

We hate that as well , what has being a professional anything got to do with how well you fuck ??

These are same people who seem to be perpetually looking for that ideal couple , ie a reflection of themselves .

These are the people we see at parties who pay the admission price , totter around in expensive clothes , see that everyone is beneath them and then bugger off , their loss , we are too busy fucking other "common people" to care a jot about them .

The best swingdate we had was with a couple who had been seriously obese and had their stomachs stapled , they were very nervous because of what we might think as they had a bit of spare skin ..... We were either fucking or laughing all night , one of the nicest couples it has been our pleasure to pleasure .

Have a Masters' degree, science based, but I personally learnt more in manual work offshore on fishing boats etc. The term 'professional' also turns us off, as, to us personally, it hints at snobbery and says nothing. Just IMO

I don't care what job you do as long as you have one! And before I get any abuse, I don't mean those who are unable to work due to serious illness or disability or those who have lost their jobs and finding it difficult to find another.

I like to think I'm quite professional when it comes to giving head though!

"professional" can be both a noun or an adjective.

As a noun, it means the person is a member of one of the recognised professions.

As an adjective, it's descriptive, but in my experience on here those who describe themselves as being professional are usually the least professional, and basically rude and ignorant!! And it's not unusual that they can't even spell the word correctly! Eejits!!

My understanding of being professional is someone doing a skilled job you can't do unless you have been trained and qualified.

A plumber is as much a professional as an accountant to much is made of it on here.

There is a lot of misunderstanding around the term professional. The trouble is that it has more than one definition, and it is both a noun and a verb. It can mean a person who is trained in one of the traditional historical professions - doctor, lawyer, engineer and so on - and it can also mean a darts player who makes a living from his 'sport'. The former may not like being in the same category as the latter, but both are correct uses of the word as a noun.

It does not however mean that anyone who gets paid for what they do is 'a professional'. Plumbing is a trade, not a profession. They could do their work in a professional manner though. As in "he made a professional job of that bathroom" (verb). That's not snobbery, it's just the correct use of a word.

Easiest thing to do if you aren't sure what a word means is to look it up, not ask people on a forum who may not have a clue. And that includes me.

What's your point?

People are here for THEIR hedonistic pleasure. Who am I to belittle how others choose THEIR playmates? I'm grossly overweight, I don't take umbrage if I come across a profile stating "I go to the gym seven days a week. I run a marathon every other day and cycle 100 miles a day on a unicycle".

That means fuck all when all I want to do is tie them up and drop wax on their bits. What it says they are uber fit and seeking someone of the same fitness calibre.

I don't grab one of my (many) tyres, feel aggrieved that I've been slighted in some and start arsey threads about supermodels on site looking for Brad and Angelina.

Yet some of the bitter, under achieving, jealous folk on here have a daily dig at professionals.

How do you reach that conclusion from one word?

I've seen a regular forumite mention her horses, mansion, famous neighbours, her boat and the fact her four kids are privately educated in her posts and no one says anything. But dare to have "professional" on your profile...

Lots of inverted snobbery on here. I came from a poor, deprived, 'common' background but was lucky enough to get to university and qualify for a professional job. It was damned hard work, took me 5 years and 10 years to pay off the debt.

Really pisses me off when people now say things like 'oh you think you're so above us now'. I still live on a council estate, don't earn as much as many would imagine and its fecking irritating hearing people tell me what I think of them just because I decided to further my education. I was even homeless at one point whilst in uni so that attitude, as if I shouldn't have done it, really angers me almost as much as those who claim to be professional and aren't. It was a fucking struggle for me, I can tell you.

A professional is a person who is paid to undertake a specialized set of tasks and to complete them for a fee. The traditional professions were doctors, engineers, lawyers, architects and commissioned military officers. Today, the term is applied to nurses, accountants, educators, scientists, technology experts, social workers, information professionals and many more. I personally think people use it in their profile due to the personal and confidential nature of many professional services, and thus the necessity to place a great deal of trust in them, as most professionals are subject to strict codes of conduct enshrining rigorous ethical and moral obligations. Although I understand how it can come across as snobbish on here, I don't think it should be considered such!!!

Being a "professional" requires one to follow the rules and conducts as required by the relevant "professional" body.

For some, being convicted a motoring related offence such as drink driving can result in him/her being stripped of his/her professional status, and he/she can no longer practice.

Some trades have similar codes and conducts.

Being a professional does not make someone a nicer person, or less of a love rat, that's for certain.

To me someone is a professional t what they do when they have done their job for a long time and not always need the qualifications or background to be one. Sometimes you get new management in straight from university and they put themselves down as being professional in their job when they know very little. It all comes down to knowledge and skill then you can call yourself a professional when you fully know your job regardless of job you do

When people say they wish to meet a professional couple/male/female I think they are looking to meet someone on the same social level as themselves.

If someone enjoys 3 holidays a years 2 cars x amounts of pounds earned they assume that they should be meeting similar people. It's plan snobbery to me.

Last night we went to a friends wedding with all your London types in the media and all that bollox all thinking they have one over on each other and myself my wife and 2 other couples that we know went couldn't stand to be in the same room as them, the fact is I earn 3 x they earn drive a Porsche and am totally happy in life yet these pricks think I'm uneducated as I didn't go to uni etc and even had the nerve to say we were common

So if they are professionals then they can keep it I'd rather be with my own sort than people like that.

Why is it snobbery ? If someone wants to meet a certain type of person be it at a physical, weight, build, lifestyle, job level let them.

Is it snobbery to only want to meet a size 10 woman or a guy who's 6ft plus? Or because thats a physical thing its not relevant ?

If a person puts "professional" on their profile then I would assume they would prefer to meet other professionals, and those other professionals know what the word means. If you aren't a professional or are a little unclear on what the term professional refers to, then you aren't what those people are looking for. Why worry about that? We all have different preferences about those we would like to meet. It's not nice to feel excluded but we all are in some way, by some people. I don't think it is about snobbery at all, it's just a way of increasing the chances of hitting it off with similar people. It may work or it may not, who knows? Who cares?

I have found that for the purposes of enjoying sex with someone, background, job or education don't matter a fig. To me. But some may want more of a social thing with a swinging partner and hence want to meet those who they think they are more likely to get on well with in other ways, not just in the bedroom. We're all here for different things.
