Educated doesn't automatically make someone a professional in either the working environment or act like a professional in the social environment.

"Most professionals worked hard to get their degrees.... just saying... It’s just letting people know they are educated and sophisticated people." Some ‘professionals’ don’t have a degree but they have worked hard to succeed in their chosen career. Many with degrees end up in menial roles. Being ‘educated’ doesn’t necessarily make for a successful or interesting person. And personally, I feel people who declare their professional/wealthy/intellectual status lack sophistication and are often stretching the truth. Lou x | |||

"Not at all. We use the term professional to denote what we are, not who we're looking for. As for its meaning - from our perspective, it means that we're working in fields that require us to belong to a register of professionals - (for example, doctor, lawyer, teacher etc.). Some people seem to consider the use of the word somehow arrogant or condescending - but we see it as being a literal description of a part of who we are. We appreciate that some people don't like the term. Okay - so what? We don't like the terms 'heavy cummer' or 'rant over', but we certainly don't judge an entire profile by those things alone. Doing so would be myopic in the extreme. TL,DR? We're professionals, we're unapologetic. It's not a big deal. Find a way to be okay with it, or don't. " You said it’s not to sound arrogant but your final statement was by the pure definition arrogance | |||

"The purpose of profiles is to see if they're people you would meet. if there's something you don't like, don't meet them ![]() Spot on! We see too many complaints about other people's profiles - too many cock pics, not enough pictures of him, people who are pedantic about spelling....and, of course, being "professionals". Profiles are how you advertise yourselves to attract the people YOU want to meet, and if your advert works for you that's fine. If it doesn't work for someone reading it then they should simply move on to another profile that does appeal to them. | |||

"Ok i have seen this on a few profiles but what does it mean on a profile when they are professional for an example they are a professional woman like what does that even mean. It means they are educated and don't associate with riff raff that could be on Jeremy Kyle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh okay. I get you. I'm just here for a good time. I could put professional on mine but i don't. Does that say more about me as a person or those who feel the need to add it in their profile ![]() | |||

Not all "gym fit and sexy" people are going to attracted to each other are they, but it excludes the oompah loompahs from contacting them. Likewise, if you feel "out of someone's league" for whatever reason, why not accept you're not compatible rather than make snide remarks? | |||

Some will like it and some won't. I have met people who described themselves as 'professional' and they have been humble so it's not like they are all arrogant and feel superior. | |||

"It's quite straightforward, it means they consider themselves to have a profession. For some reason this makes some people really cross, I've no idea why. And what difference does that make on a swingers site?. I'm not looking to settle down with anyone,so what's it's showing me. That they have a job and rhin k it needs mentioning? Lexi You may not but I live in London and most people I meet are professional people. It does show me that I will get a half decent conversation and these types don’t usually send creepy messages. " Oh London lol. I'm from London too. Most i met were professional also. Some were boring as hell and had the banter of a uneducated child. Don't get me started on how soul draining the messaged were. Maybe i wasn't ment to be around "professionals". Hence why i moved last year and the people i meet now are way more interesting. Each our own i guess. Oh and to think that people are jealous is probably why i didn't get along with people like you very much. That's not a dig. It's a fact in my experience ![]() | |||

My half sister is a ‘city professional’ she works in investments but she grew up in a council flat. She has just worked hard to get to where she is and is not a snob in any way. | |||

Lexi It's showing you that you aren't compatible with that type of profile. How. Please explain?. I've met professional people before. They didn't mention it on their profile. We got on very well. Better than others who weren't professional. Lexi" Because you don't seem too keen on people who write the word on their profile. | |||

"I see profiles that state they are sexy, gym fit seeking the same and don't feel the need to get arsey, exhibit reverse snobbery to call them out because my fat arse doesn't meet their requirements. People: get over yourselves. The profiles don't state "no DSS, shelf stackers or college dropouts". By the inferiority complex shown by some, they're simply describing themselves to allow others to exclude themselves. How we choose "like minded" playmates is personal. It doesn't mean, if you're excluded that you're shit, just not compatible. Grow up!" ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"I think the intention is to project to people that you are educated and have a socially responsible career as opposed to someone who may be highly qualified but works in a manual trade or as an artist etc... I don't look down on anyone but just as friends of mine take pride in their plumbing business (that earns far more than I do) I take pride in my work as it took me four years to qualify and I help change lives (I hope). By saying I'm a working professional I'm letting people know I need discretion because I would compromise my ability to work if anyone knew about my profile. I think those who are offended by this have a bit of a complex about their own pathway in life and work/financial situation and see anyone who puts "professional" as a snob who is looking down rather than someone projecting a particular image to attract what they want to attract - like minded people who they will connect with, or someone who finds "professional" people a turn on." Well said. | |||
