"Professional couples" what does that mean to you?

Dartford

I'm really curious as to what people mean when they say they are a "Professional couple"? I'm not being nasty or anything, but what does that mean to you?

To me a "Professional couple" would be 2 people who are together who have very serious or high status jobs, such as Lawyer, Doctor an MD or maybe own their own successful well known company. Do some people say they are a "Professional couple" if they just have full time jobs?. I'd love to know others take on this as it genuinely intrigues me.

"I think it means they both work.

I think so too, but saying you both work full time is far more accurate. It can come across as a bit stuck up I think. Most people do work so I don't see the need to mention it really. That's just me though

A lot of people see it as stuck up. I don't, it's only a word and isn't a reflection on anyone else.

A lot of people say they're in the armed forces, the other uniformed services, lorry drivers etc. Its just a way of describing yourself

I believe the proper use is meant to be that you are a member of a professional body and answer to them as such. Like you say. Lawyers and the like. Nurses as they have to prove CPD to keep their pin and have a registering body to answer to.

On fab I think it has become synonymous with working full time.

It doesn't worry me when people use it. Although I did change ours and remove it even though one of us does have a professional job.

That's much more how I see the term "Professional couple" or " a profession"

If that's the type of job you have then discretion is needed and I understand the use of it. But not reflect that they have jobs? We all work right?

Only if its used correctly, it can be miss-leading. Some professions carry a lot of responsibility and require respect, discretion on this type of site would be appreciated for them I imagine.

This question comes up every few weeks and really triggers some people.

We read it as being in the professions or loosely being in some position of authority. Doctor, lawyers, teacher, director and such. There is no consensus though so some people use it to indicate they work.

We like to think professional people are educated and articulate plus discreet on account of their chosen career

You can generally spot the people pretending to be professional as they are proffesional in their messages.

On Fab, I take it to mean you:

1. Work

2. Are a respectable member of society

3. You know how to use a shower and soap

4. In a vanilla sense, I'd be happy or introduce you to my friends/family if this were traditional dating.

5. You know how to keep a tidy/clean house.

Ie, you're not a drain on society and/or someone you'd be afraid to admit you associate with.

That's a good point and very true. "Do yous wanna meet know" type messages always makes my skin crawl. Poor grammar and poor spelling, it's too much for me. But then again I'm not a stranger to a typo! I may have ADHD and be an absolute klutz, but I can appreciate an articulate person.

This is what I think it means, plus an accredited member of a professional body. Job titles aside as I've seen some right wrong uns in 'manager' roles, especially in the public sector, higher education and professional accreditation is what professional means to me

I think it's subjective.

To some they're professional if they wear a suit and work in an office & to others it's being registered with an official body such as nurses ,doctors and solicitors.

Part of my wives job title includes "Professional". It's just for fun, although useful to her vocation not needed, she is educated upto a Masters Degree. She'll be taking on a second Masters course soon so it's a hobby of hers to be studying.

We don't use it though, we don't see it as anything past people saying they're working and we just assume most are or have a fair reason not to be. Hadn't actually ever thought about the connection of it being tied to a job which would have a governing body at this point in time, seems abit like the novelty "titles" you can buy, you know the Lord & Lady thing.

Not that it bothers me in fact the pomposity of putting it in your profile on a dirty filthy sex site quite amuses me

But the legal definition in the UK is any job described under the UK Professional qualifications act...because if you haven't got a professional qualification, then really you're not a professional...it would just mean that you are not unemployed...although I am 2 bottles of red down, so I may regret writing this in the morning and retract it by swearing blind that bandits broke into our fab account and spouted all this shit on my behalf

When someone says professional swingers, we always thought this meant they have some form of professional contract to swing!

So a professional couple would be full-time swingers who have a contract to swing, probably with endorsements and addons from love honey or such.

A semi professional couple would be one that has to have another job on the side to support themselves, but they do spend a high % of there time swinging and are probably part of some local league. They might even be lucky enough to be sponsored by a local pub or garden centre.

Then there is us, rank amateurs, have all the gear but no idea and spend our time bumbling through this wondering how the professionals manage to take such amazing in focus pictures during sex! How do they achieve the dizzy heights they have only to look down on us grass roots swingers..

My assumption when I read that is they have full time or demanding jobs and this (fab) is an exciting addition to their lives but they have lots of other things going on.

Thousands of words in the Englush language have more than one meaning, sometimes quite different, so different meanings not a reason for a word or concept to be described as meaningless. The meaning is on the person writing it and then implied from the context by the person reading it. When someone writes something it is meaningful to them. Just because the reader does not find any meaning in it, it does not make it meaningless.

We use it in our profile but not to position ourselves socially as a mark of status or to imply we are superior to anyone else, or to filter and exclude who we meet. Our profile is short on describing the things that we don't like because we don't want to pre judge people or people to self-filter.

For us, professionals means demanding jobs (not necessarily well paid), with stressful responsibilities, usually having to put more hours than the regular 9 to 5. It means we are hyper busy with jobs and family, little time to swing, or to travel, never last minute "free to fuck?" encounters, we often need to arrange meetings up to 2 months in advance and close to where we live.

Whoever has a chip in their shoulder and by reading our profile thinks we are pretentious or elitists when describing ourselves as "professionals", that's their problem and likely not a match for us. Those that read it, read our verifications and meet us in person, would never say we look down on others or that we are judgemental. We both come from very modest and humble backgrounds, so we know well how to respect everyone for whom they are and the goodness of their hearts, not for the status or money they have.

To us "Professional couple" means they work in a job which if found out they were swingers they would be looked down on and possibly be forced to leave thier job.

Also if dealing with different cultures in your job it can cause issues as some cultures are not very open minded.

I know legally you cannot be fired for being a swinger but unfortunately people are judgemental.

We used to use the term 'professional' ' to describe ourselves but so many people interpreted it as a direct insult to them (the convoluted thought process to reach that conclusion amazes me) and the inverted snobbery aimed our way contributed to our decision to remove it. Also we retired and 'ex-professional' just doesn't have the same ring

My drain on society comment wasn't directly related to benefits. More that they don't contribute to a nice society, or more they detract from a nice society.

Eg someone who leads a grossly unhealthy lifestyle who does drugs and don't care about their kids future education etc.

We take it that it means both are working but honestly, it’s utterly unimportant to the profile because some people work and some don’t. And if people are doing it because they are saying they’re a doctor or solicitor or something (one of the stupid uses of the term “professional”), that’s even worse because there’s zero reason why those professions should have any slight boost in their chance of meeting people for a fuck. lol.

Jobs are not relevant to if you’re a nice person who is worth meeting.

Most people marry within their socio-economic group (or class if you want to use that term). It should be no surprise that people who put professional on their profiles are looking for others who identify as professional too.

As swingers we are not marrying each other but you do need to have some attraction. It’s not a popular point but most university graduates will date university graduates. Not in all cases because someone will produce their own example but it will be more common than not. People seem to be attracted to people who share the same lifestyle, interests, values as they do.

That why people signal that they are professionals to attract people they themselves will be attracted to.

"Most people marry within their socio-economic group (or class if you want to use that term). It should be no surprise that people who put professional on their profiles are looking for others who identify as professional too.

As swingers we are not marrying each other but you do need to have some attraction. It’s not a popular point but most university graduates will date university graduates. Not in all cases because someone will produce their own example but it will be more common than not. People seem to be attracted to people who share the same lifestyle, interests, values as they do.

That why people signal that they are professionals to attract people they themselves will be attracted to."

Here and There

I predominantly meet in clubs and if anyone were to mention that they were a ‘professional’ whilst chatting me up face to face I’d think they were ridiculous. You’d never catch me asking what someone did for a living if our interaction is purely Fab.

When I see it on profiles, I’ll be honest, it always strikes me as a bit pretentious and irrelevant. Also, I often notice that those who have it on their profiles are veri’d by a wide variety of people, often those who aren’t ‘professional’ so it makes me wonder why it’s important to reference it in the first place. If it’s not because you only want to attract similarly ‘professional’ people then why is it there?

For me LinkedIn is a more appropriate place for boasting about your workplace credentials. For Fab I’m far more interested in whether you’ll lick my bum and whether I like the look of you naked

‘Traditionally’, to be considered a professional would be having a career that has significant; often mandatory, requirements for an amount of advanced education and training at a level of post-secondary higher education.

Some examples of professional jobs include:

* Doctor

* Teacher

* Lawyer

* Accountant

However, over time this has become somewhat diluted to now be recognised to mean, an individual who has been educational trained and is qualified at a nationally recognised level, and is also experienced and has proven ability in a ‘specific’ field of knowledge.

Some examples of professional jobs include:

* Electrician

* Plumber

* Scientist

* Mortgage Advisor

A non-professional job is a career that an individual can start with little training or education. Often, these are entry-level positions that offer on-the-job training.

Some examples of non-professional jobs:

* Cashier

* Salesperson

* Factory worker

* Labourer

* Customer service representative

Not that it bothers me in fact the pomposity of putting it in your profile on a dirty filthy sex site quite amuses me

But the legal definition in the UK is any job described under the UK Professional qualifications act...because if you haven't got a professional qualification, then really you're not a professional...it would just mean that you are not unemployed...although I am 2 bottles of red down, so I may regret writing this in the morning and retract it by swearing blind that bandits broke into our fab account and spouted all this shit on my behalf "

Why has everyone danced around, what’s clear and obvious. I quickly recognised it as part of the swing scene from the moment I dipped my toe in; it’s undoubtedly influenced and tiered by the wider class system that still exists in the UK for everyday normal life.

Think of the self identified professionals as more likely being middle class, then anyone questioning it and/or suggesting which is not solely wrong, it’s pretentious, as having an increased expectation of being working class.

There’s of course a grey are of upper working class and lower middle that mix; but ultimately I can see this as clear as day.

I feel like this. I don’t talk about my job with Fabbers and that would be the same regardless of what my job was. My friends are the same. Infact, if anyone from Fab starts asking me real life questions right off the bat I find it a bit intrusive and it puts me off. Obviously if we become friends off Fab it’s a bit different, but for a standard Fab encounter I won’t want to talk about my real life situation; I don’t think it’s relevant and I don’t expect to be asked. I certainly won’t ask them. There are people I see monthly at parties that I sleep with regularly and I’ve no clue what they do for a living, nor them me. They’re nice, we like each other, so that’s enough.

I suppose everyone does Fab in their own way and people are happy revealing different levels of information about themselves and different things are important for attraction. I tend to keep things club based, aside from occasional friendships that evolve into real life, so there isn’t usually a huge amount of chat with the people I play with. If I was meeting 121, going for dinner etc, then maybe socio economic compatibility could be more important, but I doubt it. For me it doesn’t play a part in my Fabbing, it’s much more a physical/chemical thing. How my body reacts to someone when I’m stood next to them, their energy, their voice etc is what tells me if I find them attractive. I’m never attracted to someone on paper for a physical encounter.

It matters depending on what type of meets you like. We meet at clubs with little chat and we meet guys and couples for private meets with little chat so their social status doesn’t matter to us it is purely physical attraction. However there are many many people on here who are interested in the social side. That’s great, but wouldn’t they want to have more in common with the people they meet.

“Professional people” probably isn’t the best turn of phrase but I suppose it distinguishes between the brain surgeon and the window cleaner (both valuable contributors to society and only used as an illustration not a criticism of any jobs)

It can have a very generic meaning but in terms of Fab, it clearly means, they are educated , articulate and generally well settled financially in their lives.

So they are looking similar kind of people for meets, rather than some pot smoker dopey or some who can't have decent conversations.

Rest we all are working and have professions but mentioning it on profile means they want to meet people with some sort of standards or class.

Nothing against anyone.

It can be classed as preferences.

People put all sorts of information about themselves on their profile.

It definitely has a bearing on how attractive I find someone. A job is a part of someone’s personality. If someone does something interesting or something they’re passionate about it makes that person more attractive in my eyes.

Of course it can absolutely be a point of interest. But it doesn't equate to someone being good in bed

Neither does liking music and films or having children. I genuinely think people mostly just use the word to say something about themselves on the same way I might mention o like needlework. It can be interpreted loads of different ways but ultimately nobody knows the intent behind it

It might equate to whether they get in the bed though.

Intelligence can be sexy, for some.

And from this post it's clear I'm not a professional proof reader

Although interestingly I did once apply for such a job

I'm wondering now if our profile isn't personal enough! However I usually end up mentioning my job to people as it's to blame for all my late replies

I can't blame anything except procrastination.

Is your profile how *you* want it? If so it's personal enough for you . I think that sums up all profiles really. Some people will like what you say, some will feel slightly miffed because they feel excluded or insulted and some just won't like it at all.
