It's mean plenty to some and nothing to others.

Personally, I wouldn't wish to meet anyone who felt they were better than someone else because of the job they hold, the salary they earn, the material wealth they have acquired or how they feel they fit into society compared to the next man.

Others do and that is there choice and preference. Not really worth getting worked up over.

There are '000's of profiles here. If the ones that contain the word 'professional' make you shiver, then go and look at another.

Top tip for Thursday in the forums :

Stay off the coffee and drink herbal tea

I think professional means services are rendered in return for payment. Must check dictionary maybe I got it wrong.

i,susie,seen plenty were i think:"Professional....my arse"

You know the ones,they send messages in text speak,no greeting + show no respect.

Yes,there are some professional ppl on here but not everyone who claims to be,really is!!

It doesn't matter to us what ppl do for a living.What matters is that they friendly,non-judgemental + great fun to be with.

It is just a preference that we meet people similar to ourselves. It has nothing to do with money or what job they do more about personal standards.

Not sure exactly how you put that on a profile but I am sure people know what we are referring to!

How is it different than saying 'blacks only' which in our _iew is far more offensive.

I do think professional means different things to different people.

To some it means just having a job.

To others it means a job that requires a certain qualification, nursing etc.

To others it can mean a university education and/or a certain salary/lifestyle.

Having looked at a fair few profiles on my time here, I'd say that the people who only want to meet professional people tend to edge towards the latter.

But there's no point getting wound up about it. If they ain't gonna be interested in you then there's plenty more profiles to get wound about. Try some that say "no overweight people" and have a rant. It's Thursday after all!

"It is just a preference that we meet people similar to ourselves. It has nothing to do with money or what job they do more about personal standards.

Personal standards do not always relate to someones profession or vocation though - for example, there are a lot of people out there with impeccable standards that are out of work at the moment.

There are also single mums who scrimp and save and earn what they can to provide the best balance and upbringing for their kids. This may involve not working at all or working low paid part-time 'menial' work to get the best outcome for themselves.

So by saying 'professional' what you are hoping to do is to keep away the scrotes and scroungers of the world who lack academic intelligence and the wherewithall to interact at a level more than grunting and swearing ?

You are hoping that word 'professional' keeps away the track suit wearing, dope smoking, strong lager drinking, bad teeth generation that hang round shopping centres and local hostelries of a weekday afternoon ?

That kinda thing ?

as with most similar threads, never worry what others have on their profile... if there is something that you don't like and/or find appealing, just click the next.

If people wish to say they are professional, allow them to.

you will have people popping up making judgements why they do, the same people will then say they don't judge on another thread.

just do your thing and never worry why others do theirs

I agree, see below definition taken from dictionary.com.

adjective

following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain: a professional builder.

of, pertaining to, or connected with a profession: professional studies.

appropriate to a profession: professional objectivity.

engaged in one of the learned professions: A lawyer is a professional person.

following as a business an occupation ordinarily engaged in as a pastime: a professional golfer. (or possibly swinger?) brackets not from dictionary.com

We agree, as ever its a matter of preference, non offence to anybody but we look at some backgrounds in pictures and shudder. We are not rich, stuck up or snobby in any way, however we have no desire to meet , as someone else put it, the Jeremy Kyle brigade.

When we meet we enjoy lots of social interaction, as well as the swinging part. Putting "professional" merely gives an insight into the type of people we are looking for. We will happily meet "non professionals" as long as they suit our preferences.

peace and love

I tend to gloss over the word to be honest. As said before the word has different meanings to different people.

I'm a single mum who works. I have standards which are important to me. If I read someone's profile nd I see something that I'm not happy with. I just move on to the next.

The word professional on profiles used to put me off. I don't see what someone's job/ education level has to do with sex.

However after reading threads like this I changed my mind. Now I don't just dismiss people off one word, I take the whole profile into consideration. If it's snooty we wouldn't get on so I move on. If it's friendly then maybe we would.

It's buried in our profile that we are a 'professional couple'.

It's not how we define ourselves more how our jobs define us.

It is a recognition that we can be struck off for inappropriate behaviour and whilst we don't feel our life here is fine others may not. So we are less open about things.

How is that more offensive? surely personal preference is ones prerogative, no matter what the proletariat say? I have seen many profiles that ask only for black men to reply, should I find that offensive because I am white?

I think some people use that word as a lazy way of saying .....

'I do work hard for a living and I'm quite clever and interesting and can string a sentence together and i don't sit at home all day snurging on the internet and wanking' ... perhaps?

Which is better said by just spending a little time describing what makes them interesting and fun people to be around instead of reading 'professional couple' and imagining them in some stuffy office sitting at a computer snurging on the internet and wanking

No going to duck waiting for all the struggling 'professional' job seekers to hurl abuse at me. No offence meant btw.

I agree with this. Why people seem to take things quite so literally always surprises me.

When people describe themselves as professional, they arent solely making a statement about their careers, it is about the type of people they wish to meet.

The 'Jeremy Kyle generation' whilst a harsh assessment is actually quite accurate. I have nothing in common with certain people, I dont meet people who brash, uncouth, swear, drink etc. Yes that makes me a boring stuck up my own arse type of person in their assessent, but this just heightens the fact that we are not suited doesnt it

Not that it bothers me, if people put 'professional' on their profile...however, if it means that they will only meet people they consider 'professional', then so be it...

what it should not mean is that they look down upon other people and judge

I can sit and converse to most 'levels' of education(its part of my nature, and used in many people facing roles I've been in)

there are barriers to communication, that even 'professional' people suffer from...either through their lack of tact or sheer elitism.I've met doctors ,lawyers etc etc...with really poor communication skills..however having a nice fanny always helped get past those issues.

Professional, I would say you get paid for a type of work you supply.

Do you talk about work when you are having sex in a club or where ever?

When you are naked and having fun, does matter if someone wears Armani or Primark when getting dressed after?

I would have thought that someones personality would outweigh their occupation, not their self labelled social standing.

It might not matter so much in a club, even though we will socialise first before playing, however when we are inviting people to our own home we have some standards we are looking for. We don't want any Tom, Dick or Sally coming to our home. As we have said before people don't have to be professional, however we will flag that we are to attract similar couples and individuals, then we will chat and if we get along, play.

Can't understand why people get hung up on others preferences. Live and let live, we all like something different, it makes us human.

Strange that those who don't class themselves as professional seem far more hung up about it than those that do.

It seems to me that some people want to take this as a perceived sleight, even if it is not intended to be.

My guess is the term is used by different people for a vast number of reasons. Many highlighted already by many wise people in this post.

I believe it is a statement about the person(s) posting - not a filter to exclude those who may not be classed in the same way.

I think it simply lets people know that this person or couple has a career or profession.

There are certain assumptions you can make from that if you like - but why run the risk of doing so and coming to the wrong conclusion?

Why not just message them and find out? You may be pleasantly surprised to find that the perceived cognoscenti would deign to have a frolic or two with the unwashed proletariat.

However, if some people _iew seeing "professional" on a profile as a measure towards exclusivity in ALL cases, then they need to ask themselves why they feel that and who is really doing the prejudging here.

"Strange that those who don't class themselves as professional seem far more hung up about it than those that do.

Now see, some people looking in would no doubt regard me to be 'professional' - I have the career, the education, the standards, the material assets etc that those people would use to measure such judgement.

Maybe I am - but I wouldn't care to define myself by such standards, just as I wouldn't define other people by them.

As I said in an earlier post, it is a matter of personal choice and judgement on who we choose to meet and why we choose to meet them.

Their 'standing' in society for me would be quite low in the list of priorities, however their behaviour and attitude both before and during a meet would be quite near the top.

I don't necessarily see the link between behaviour and attitude and professionalism, but I can see why others may choose too.

That is their choice. It is the associated judgements based on someones lifetsyle or situation at that time that I personally find hard to digest.

When I use it here I guess by professional I mean I have a job that pays well, appreciate intellect over looks and dislike text speak.

In a club I play with whoever takes my fancy (provided that I take theirs!)

Reading it on a profile makes me assume that if we meet

A)it won't be a seedy back of the car fuck

B) their kids won't be in the house

C) we will have some conversation above and beyond 'ohhh fuck that feels good' (tho I expect that too...)

There are always exceptions to the rules tho. Its the same with all subjective descriptions. Tall dark and handsome sometimes means 5'11", brunette and attractive...it can also mean 6'7 Michael jordanesque Adonis. Professional here can mean clean and smart and polite, it can mean the local police superintendent, it can mean a hooker with manolos...

This is important:

'however their behaviour and attitude both before and during a meet'.

Now if somebody can come up with another phrase that will relate to or be more suitable than 'professional' we will be happy to hear it. Unfortunately unless we write a long description of the demographic we are seeking 'professional' will have to do.

But your profile states that you are professionals (as part of a wider description of your situation)

It doesn't state anywhere you are looking for professionals - or even the well worn 'like minded' people for that matter.

So, being entirely hypothetical, if I was of the Jeremy Kyle mould, I may still message you thinking that you might fancy a play with a 'bit o'ruff' : that whilst you are professionals, other professionals are not the only group you seek - or people who are in a similar position to yourselves.

Only by reading this thread would I have any real idea that I would be likely to be excluded from any meets with you due to my lower social standing and fuckwit status.

I am not saying that any of what you write is wrong or that I wish to challenge your judgements, choices or preferences, but the demographic which you state openly here is merely intimated in your profile.

To that end, is it effective in deterring those you may not wish to meet or do you still rely on your own system of post message interaction to determine who you eventually meet ?

If that is the case, is the 'professional' status really required, or, is it there to attract other people of a like minded nature who may make similar judgements on the inclusion of one word that this thread has determined is open to both interpretation and abuse ?

We are too polite to do anything than intimate. If people message us we think unsuitable we simply say 'no thanks' (but we do always reply).

Incidentally the content of your message and the fact that you are willing to describe yourself as a 'fuckwit' clearly demonstrates that you do not think of yourself as such!

The forums never cease to amaze. The same people that have an obvious problem with the word "professional", remembering it's JUST a word, outline a similar trait on their profiles. e.g no bi males or people that play with bi males, age, size, colour, whatever. Get over it, everyone is entitled to their preferences. If you dont like ours, I wont lose any sleep over it, just as I don't with your "restrictions".

It's simple really.

a "professional couple" proud to be professional. Professional, now thats a great word. Professional.

The mention of the word "professional" on a profile to us = "status conscious asshole".

Love the term ' the Jeremy Kyle' brigade and we know there are a lot of it about- most of us understand what being a professional means - it means they, dare I say we claim to be able to string a few sentences together( and if I have done a typo I really don't care)

If you want call yourself a bin man, electrician , mechanic, whatever that's fine And is no more or less a member of society than the profs.

I suspect whoever has a hang up on this has a problem with private number plates

Someone said that professional means different things to different people and that is no doubt true. But what does it matter? I have a small business and my hubby is a manager in a large company, does that make us professional? in essence who really cares, we don't, we're just us, a friendly Welsh couple here for occasional fun times

After reading this thread I might put the word in bold, italics and upper case. It seems to be kryptonite to the people we don't want looking.

PS I do have a private number plate.

We don't have a private plate, as an Alfa owner your bumper isn't attached to the car long enough to have a numberplate!

That is the same principle as watching the old Victorian sideshow freaks.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

"We have not been swinging long and did wonder what professional did actually mean lol

.and all we look for is sexy people for sexy fun and frolic.s simple as that professional or not.

We either like the look of you or wee don't just as you like the look of us or don't just. No offence meant and no offence taken.

so happy swinging to all you professional people and happy swinging to you not so professional peeps

Who says working class are scum? At what point does someone saying they prefer professional people mean they consider anyone working class to be scum?

I am professional - I am also working class. I own my own home - but live on a council estate. I like to go to the theatre - but I shop in Aldi.

There are people on here who accuse others of being 'snobs' when they are, not meaning the poster, actually 'inverted snobs' themselves.

People have preferences. Simple as. For some people having a connection is important when swinging - that is one way they try to ensure there will be one. For others that is irrelevant.

So what? Who cares? If anyone is put off by someone's profile which mentions 'professionals' then they are obviously not suited and just need to move on to the next one. What's the big deal?

It is almost as if people have to apologise for preferences.

Come on its pretty obvious what it means. If you object then read the next profile. If you feel inadequate also move on. But don't bother to raise yet another rant in here.

HAppy swinging xx
