Hi there folks, on certain adverts I see that people are either looking for, or are professionals. Does this mean that they go to work suited and booted, have managerial or executive jobs and don't get their hands dirty or does it mean that they class themselves as professionals in there chosen profession and have reached this position through time, commitment and qualifications.

Hmmm
if there looking for professionals does that mean a couple of geezers with dodgy haircuts & driving a battered cortina a bit like Bodie & Doyle in the 80's???

Can't see what difference it makes what job someone does - nobody can tell I'm a teacher when I'm naked! Maybe they're just snobs? That said, they have a right to express a preference.

We are most definitely all pupils - we can all learn something from one another

for goodness sake, does that apply to all teachers? If so that is another fantasy gone out the window.

Afraid so - I leave my lesson plans and cane at home when I go out to play :lol:
I've always taken it as a 'snobbery' thing with an implication that money is important!
You'll often see ads which refer to professional status also include a line about 'how busy their lives are', how they have a 'high standard of living', enjoy 'good conversation' and a pre-cursor to playing would be a 'nice meal with some good wine'.
At the end of the day, I presume they only want to play with the 'beautiful people' - that's the problem with the middle classes in this country - all aspirational and going nowhere!

Try to remember that not everyone is the same - some of us look further than what a person does for a living or how wealthy they are.
'Nice meal with good wine' might mean pizza and a bottle of Frascati.

I looked up the word for professional in online dictionary and one interpretation goes with - engaged in one of the learned professions Which, matches what i would of said.
I suppose it's a way of trying to distinguish between the hoi polloi (the common people; the masses) and thoswe that they would aspireor wish to associate with.
Let's face it. It's a form of classism and genearally not very nice. After all we all share the same air.

I actually have no interest in what anyone, that I fuck, does for a living. What does amuse me however, is those who say they are 'proffessional'.
I do tend to avoid the people who allude to any sort of status. It makes me think they want something more from this swinging lark than a fuck.

If you'd delivered that naked - i'd so know you were a teacher!
Nah, I'd be a naturist pizza delivery person! :lol:

Maybe its a fetish for some! perhaps they would like me to be doing my job whilst I have sex with them :notes:

I used to think of the professions as referring to lawyers, doctors and the like ... it wasn't so much a class thing as one of training and qualifications, I think ... and interestingly I don't think bankers were included ... but that was all years ago.
Nowadays I prefer to speak of people being professional ... as applied to what they do, whatever they do, and whatever their qualifications or lack of them ... in my view people are professional if they do their job reliably and throughly and well ... and that applies to everyone ...
Watching my local fishmonger filleting fish - that's professional; watching the delivery driver reverse his artic through a nine foot gateway - that's professional; watching and listening to Toni Kofi playing the saxophone - that's professional ... which reminds me, it's jazz tonite ... so I'm off out!

"we are a professional couple"....is that opposed to an AMATEUR couple,
do you have to have special qualifications from 'couple school' to be called a professional couple,
Is it similar to professional sports people.....do you get to compete in the Couples championships' for a trophy of some kind??

I had an elderly uncle when I was younger who used to claim that there were only three professions, Medicine, the Law, and the Church. He used to snort with derision when he heard people use expressions like "professional footballer"!
Well, I agree with those in this thread who say that it is totally unimportant what people here do for a living, and that the use of the word "professional" in describing oneself has become pretty meaningless.
What particularly amuses me is the people here who describe themselves as "professional" and can't even spell the word!

I couldn't have put it better myself Phil :thumbup:
I work hard at (in?) my job and I always adopt a professional approach. I don't have letters after my name (well maybe TWAT sometimes :giggle: ) and I don't have a University qualification-does that make me less desirable to swing with ? Maybe to some people, but I don't see that as my loss ;)
It's a sort of classism (is that a word?) as far as I am concerned and while people are of course allowed to have these preferences, it's one that makes me skip along to the next profile/advert in the list ;)
In many cases its a term which people bestow on themselves. A general purpose status expression. Or in other cases its self awarded when people think they are particularly accomplished at doing something.
We don't generally refer to ourselves as professional parents, although most of us raise a family to a reasonably good standard. But the expression could be used.

I think to a lot of people it means what I've highlighted in bold but people do gravitate to those with similar values - so it may be a short-cut to that.
I really can't see what difference it makes in this lifestyle. But I can see how being acknowledged in a chosen profession as being vital in the professional work environment.
