Is what you do for a living important?

As the title says. I see a lot of people on here who put on their profile professional looking for same. So you go to a swingers club or party maybe even a social and get talking with someone and get on well. Then you find that maybe they are a Building Labourer, Bin Collector/street cleaner. Postman ect. does that mean that because their job is not as high brow as a doctors lawyer CEO they are no longer worth talking to, and you will walk away?

Yeah that thought has crossed my mind before. I mean it's not like a high paid lawyer is a better lover than a builder just because of his job.

My thoughts exactly. But if I tell people what I do for a living they run a mile I find. Even though my job dosnt define me I think peoples perceptions of it put them off

A persons profession is a handy indicator of that persons calibre.

A professional person is likely to be at least fairly bright, and intelligence is an important character trait to me.

Obviously that is generalising but as with stereotypes it is often the case.

So does that mean that I would exclude some one that wasn't in a professional occupation, no not if they were articulate warm and funny.

Without wishing to sound a snob I think someone with a similar job, as in the intelligence required etc, would indicate perhaps they may be on a similar wave length regards to the social side. Obvs it doesn't affect ability in bed room but then it's not only about that is it, it's connecting with someone also.

That being said I have friends who earn plenty and are classed as intelligent education wise and also friends with low paid menial jobs. And I get on with them socially regardless.

Unfortunately, there are some 'intelligent' people who believe that it makes them the better person!

Unless you are looking for a relationship, I'm not convinced intelligence makes any difference, as far as fab is concerned.

I do partner dancing I my spare time too. And After a lot of hard work I am now pretty good at it. Its amusing that so many people are shocked that a guy that does my job is actually a good dancer. So I always found it a little sad that in this country at least a job defines you. I am also pretty well read yet I have no formal qualifications. So people who talk to me have a hard time associating me with what I do to make a living. Hence the reason for this thread

It never bothers me what people do for a living. I have met people from all walks of life. Provided they are friendly and there's an attraction I would chat or meet anyone.

People may think my job is fairly low down the food chain, but I would like to think I am a fairly intelligent and well rounded individual.

I've still no idea what professional on a profile really means I just know it winds me up. What you do as a job has no bearing on shagging ability or what you may find attractive in a person so I don't personally see the connection in that and finding someone to have some fun with.

I'm not interested in what people do anyway. Never have done. I don't care if you're a doctor or a lawyer or a roadsweeper. No interest or relevance to me whatsoever. Not interested. I want to know what you're like as a human being. Not how you make your money.

We don't really think to ask, to be honest.

In my view, letting people know you're of a certain profession on here only helps in establishing if you have something in common with prospective play partners...its something to chat about.

Therefore, I think putting "professional" on ones profile is far too vague to achieve ones purpose. Judging by the way the term is often used, it implies that there's some sort of innate hierarchy of professions, when in reality, there really isn't.

It depends on the context/use of the term professional. For sure some use it grandiose. Whilst others use it innocently because they're run of the mill professionals.

Never really been sure what 'professional' means in terms of someone's occupation. We've met people from all walks of life and with differing jobs, as long as they are decent, clean people and we are compatible sexually, that's all we ask. It is after all NSA sex. If you want to become 'regular' social friends, then I suppose you have to have something else in common.

It's an indicator really.

If someone on fab said that their job was a car park attendant and it was the best job they'd ever had then it doesn't really inspire you to have a social with them.

If we were already chatting to someone and seemed to have a good connection (e.g. at a party) and then they said their job was painting the H on helipads, we'd carry on as before but probably not talk about work.

There are all sorts of reasons why someone might have a shit job or no job so it's not a deal breaker.

You may not be interesting to talk to though. I know people with masters and doctorates who don't have much to say about anything. They know a lot about their chosen profession,but they don't excite my mind by what they say. I see/saw them for sex because they gave me what I wanted sexually at the time.

I guess, like a lot of things, it means slightly different things to different people. My hunch is that for most of them they see it as a phrase that indicates they have working lives that make meet times more scarce, have what many would consider "good jobs" and value "quality" things. It may also be a way of indicating the type of people they want to meet with.

As many others have said on this thread though, at the end of the day it's about people and who you connect with. I like interesting people and it doesn't bother me what they do or where they come from. If they are attractive and sexy as well I am not going to complain!

When I started on the scene I was a part time shelve stacker, then a full time mobile cleaner. I've recently taken a demotion at work as I felt I'd jumped too soon into a management position, I'm back as a fully qualified professional cleaning supervisor.

Does that make me more or less attractive? I doubt it either way! Either way I have noticed on this site that it doesn't matter what you do for a living or write in a message as most prospective meets will judge your photos and profile text as to wether or not they will respond.

I have been a department manager and I have cleaned toilets and swept floors . I'm still the exact same person no matter what Im doing to pay the bills and help support my family .

If people who wish to turn their nose up at me due to my employment then great! They are not really the kind of people I'd wish to associate with anyway .

What's great about this place is it enables me to meet people i wouldn't normally meet. I love the variety of backgrounds and jobs people do. As long as they are able to travel and afford to go halves on a hotel I'm not bothered what they do for a living....after all we aren't going to be spending our time together talking about work so it's largely irrelevant

I have a physics degree....but it has never once come up in conversation regards arranging a meet...nor are most of my meets over the last year aware of the fact...I don't care, why should they?

If someone is so hung up on things like that then they are probably way too far up their own arse to be interesting.

Having said that, most of us aren't on here to find life partners...so why should it matter?

It shouldn't matter when looking for a life partner either though, should it.

If I was looking for a relationship then shared goals, ambition, lifestyle, level of education would certainly be important to me. I'm no gold digger, I've always earned around the same as my husband, but career is important to me and I wouldn't want to spend my life supporting someone else because they've got no aspiration to push themselves to achieve anything. So I'd never get into a relationship with someone who didn't have that.

However if we found out they were an Mp then there would be a problem....got to have some standards

Part of what we like about swinging is meeting and chatting to those that we probably wouldn't normal cross paths with.

We've met a variety of people, what job they do has never been a deciding factor.

Most of the time, we won't know what they do, until we've met them.

I'm quite happy to work out for myself whether I'm likely to be compatable from messages. I have no interest in someomes occupation, yes it sometimes comes up in conversation and I know the occupation of the guys I know well. I've met people with very interesting careers but not known until afterwards.

For me nothing more off putting than someone going on about what they do for a living.

No it's not important to me, someone without qualifications can be just as smart as someone with, plus for me personality wins.

Me, I have 2 degrees in completely different fields, both boring in everyday conversation but I now spend more time at home with my family than at work...fingers crossed I'm not boring in conversation though.

"Professional couple" - they pay to be a couple?

What someone does for work does not define them. I have worked and lived on both sides of the railway tracks and I report that there are lovely people either side as well as the more despicable types.

That all being said people have a right to discriminate against what they perceive to be not of their liking when it comes to swinging. Preconceptions are very hard to change.

We on the otherhand will take someone at face value and can really be equal opportunity shaggers despite your socio-economic class, employment, etc. Obviously being shallow buggers a nice pair of boobs and/or a nice cock win out everytime.

I've read the whole thread with interest and some amusement. Some of the remarks made ,reminded me of my ex and several friends .to them money/job status was and is everything .I lost friends and the ex (no loss) ,when I decided 2 years ago to become self employed as a cleaner /carer. Was told didn't want to be friends with someone in a menial job.it didn't matter that finally I'm happy ,less stressed and have free time .all they cared about was my job title .yes it hurt but came to relises I don't need people like that in my life .

Here is something for you all to think about.

I (Mr) am a fairly intellectual person. More than enough qualifications, but suffer with mild dyslexia. I have worked in a few differant area's but for the last 4 1/2 years i have not worked. From a 1st impression i bet most people would comsider me a chav or something and all those people that say "professional, looking for similar would never talk to me let alone consider a meet with me.

But here is the kicker. I am a fully qualified network administrator, ex army, have nearly every driving licence known to man. Astronomy enthusiast, go to the gym when i can find the time, well i hope you get the picture.

Had those people met me 5 years ago then the whole situation would be completely differant.

But all those people care about is your job. They dont care that my life took a bit of a turn and now i'm a full time father to 3 beautiful kids, carer to 2 disabled people (1 is my youngest) and all around go to guy for everyone i know.

I am the same person as i was 5 years ago, but those people dont care.

The rest of you on here are awesome though

Love you all x

"As the title says. I see a lot of people on here who put on their profile professional looking for same. So you go to a swingers club or party maybe even a social and get talking with someone and get on well. Then you find that maybe they are a Building Labourer, Bin Collector/street cleaner. Postman ect. does that mean that because their job is not as high brow as a doctors lawyer CEO they are no longer worth talking to, and you will walk away?

I like to see a person's c.v, portfolio and bank balance first and if it's up to scratch perhaps a 45 min phone interview regarding their five year upcoming projections and plans before I even consider getting naked with them.

I don't just rock up to a club or someone's house, fuck until I cum, leave and never see them again.

Because I chat to people I get on with, because I meet the people i chat with, and because of the way I meet; through preference and practicalities, I meet those who normally fall into what some people would call "professional".

I don't see anyone saying that someone isn't good enough to fuck them. Or a certain job makes you better at moving your cock about.

But certain lifestyle makes different sorts of meets easier?

Who else could have met me at an international trade show in London Docklands apart from the person I arranged to meet? Was someone going to meet me in the car park there and give me a blowjob before security get there?

A preference isn't always a slight.

I don't really know if what I do is important, I know its necessary but the complaints I get from some of my clients/customers for doing my job properly aren't exactly complimentary. I teach, age range 11 to 70+. I stopped working full time in a school in 2009 and now work supply, both in secondary as a D&T teacher and in a technical college teaching engineering to apprentices and school leavers. But looking at the state of the country and the lack of government support for manufacturing, I might be teaching them something they will never be able to use.

A preference is never a slight...the way some people express their preferences are intended as slights though and some people feel slighted by anyone who has different preferences or lifestyles than their own.

I'm not sure why people are so concerned about the way other people describe themselves or choose to play.

And the cleaners who ensure you have a clean and tidy workplace!

Was at a club yesterday as part of a couple, had a bit of group fun and had no idea what anyone did for a living. But the guy we invited for a more intimate Mmf was someone we got chatting to at the bar who had a similar profession/lifestyle a us, we chatted and got on really well and it was him over others who we chose to play with. Everyone has preferences and I believe they should be respected.

Or to quote a teacher at a school I cleaned in years ago when a parent made a nasty remark about cleaners .if the cleaners didn't do their jobs ,she couldn't do her job .also just because someone cleans doesn't make them less important or a lesser person than say a doctor or md. It's the people that judge people by their job titles or status who have the problem .

I never ask and rarely tell as I'm not interested particularly. I don't want to talk about work anyway. It's all the other bits I want to know

well I've never er known street cleaners to on strike but I know what happened when the bin men did.

I wonder what state we would be in if our streets weren't cleaned for 6 months.

Some people forget that without the people some consider to!have menial jobs they would find it very difficult to live their lives.

Who would serve them in restaurants

Who would put the food on the shelves in the supermarket

Who would clean all the public areas and serve them in shops.

"As the title says. I see a lot of people on here who put on their profile professional looking for same. So you go to a swingers club or party maybe even a social and get talking with someone and get on well. Then you find that maybe they are a Building Labourer, Bin Collector/street cleaner. Postman ect. does that mean that because their job is not as high brow as a doctors lawyer CEO they are no longer worth talking to, and you will walk away?"

No - I mean they are people who will do the menial jobs

Otherwise what's the point of letting them in?

But it isn't so. Firstly ALL work is honourable. Secondly all jobs are or should be open to anybody with the qualifications to do them.

I'd rather spend time with someone who takes pride in and has the ambition to do what might be considered a "menial" job to the best of their abilities than someone who looks down on them for what they consider to be the status it affords them...

Not sure where you live

But in the south east

Every taxi driver is Asian

Ever waitress is EE

Every delivery driver is Balck

Etc

English people don't do menial jobs - they are either enemployed / on benefits or middle class and professional workers

Just is - not that it's right or wrong - just is

Sounds like you've met my brother-in-law. He judges people solely on what they do for a living and how much they earn. Every conversation he has centres around this. He's even admitted it.

"The funniest thing about this is all the people so huffy because it means they are excluded.

im a positive person an see negativity about my qualification s.just cause i took 4 last year im classed as boring mmm not so, i know how to communicate an relate to people on the phone an in person

i dont feel excluded at all "

Let me rephrase what I said as I wasn't meaning that I thought you were boring. I meant that having qualifications or a particular profession doesn't mean everyone will find someone interesting or be attracted to them. I'm sorry you thought I was being personal.
