Professional.... you know.... rising well and truly above the great unwashed masses and lowly ranks of hobbyists and amateurs. We stick to the ethical code of gentlemen and provide informed expert opinions. :+p (Well, some of us do).... I'm still in a traineeship of sorts. Can't wait to get my fully blown slut sleaves and I've been waiting, slinking really, near the mailbox just waiting for the postman to slap a lil something in my box..... as for the milkman... wooohooo!, That guy's got all the tolls of a professional but none of the expertise.... and so on.HugsStalky

those who would signpost their supposed academic achievements by stating they are 'professional' whatevers...are really saying.....'look at me, I'm a tool'........and having said that, invite us all to stay away........like that wanker bloke that had 'mensa' as part of his name........it says nothing good about the person......

I known of couples that put that on for a few reasons. I guess they do not want to meet up with bubba and mary loo, who knows. I think they may be saying they are white collar workers or something like that. People should be allowed to put what the heck they want in their profile, the more stuff the less misunderstanding. I kinda like the blue collar tradie guys myself , little rough mmm yeah I do get what you mean, that it can sound pretentious in a way, but it does not bother me at all. Maybe it just means they are working and can afford to buy you a coffee. Some women look for professional men for that reason that they can pick up the tab for the hotel etc. Or they may find a common ground re interests out side of the bedroom. However if you put in mine worker, fifo then they are also an attraction for women, they have the money and the spare time to play when at home. I am a professional artists, as I get paid for my work and my photography that’s what it means to me, I get paid. What a perfect job, taking pictures of naked men, woman,couples and getting paid for it. Now that’s a tough job :) Makes me wake up in the morning and cant wait to get to work. I know “Professional Pervert”

We do not see a problem, we understand what they are saying and definately would not write off a couple due to that description. Its just another preference, their are lots of couples that are equally happy and can mix it with people in 5 star surroundings or camping. All they are saying is 5 star only, we dont have a problem with that and dont think they are looking down at anyone. Like we would not expect a professional to use rough language but say a truckie....tradesperson it would not surprise us. Expectations and Preferences.

Maybe they are just trying to say they aren't bogans (or whatever the term is in your city/state).... Nothing against bogan's of course...but they aren't everyone's cup of tea ! The term "professional" doesn't need to signify your level of importance, education, income, etc...but maybe for some it's descriptive of their character outside their swinging world. we don't use the term professional in our profile... we got burnt for that a couple of years ago Kilee&Trev

Interesting thought provoking opening post Well Im a "professional"- a white collared worker who studied for 12 years to achieve my "dream job"and I am proud that I did so (having said that..many things were sacrificed along the way for career satisfaction including a marriage) however I never wrote" professional"" on my profile to be pretentious or to exclude anyone from a potential meet. I guess if one was to read my profile - I am looking for someone like minded, with a similar outlook on life, similar lifestyle similar desires etc and a understanding partner who realises that my profession involves shiftwork and also being on call 24/7/365 - it is what it is - could a "blue collared"worker accept these conditions ?, of course they could, however my own personal experience is that when I have met someone not of the same academic , social background etc it has not gone well, basically because we do not have that much in common....is that snobby ??? no I dont think so just a fact....Ithink that like usually attracts like.....and there is nothing wrong with that..just for the record I write "professional"on all my forms and other sites that Im a member of.....perhaps society is at fault for labelling us in the first place !!! Before I tumble into bed with someone I do like to make a connection....if Im on a one on one meet...if Im at a club..well I think the dynamics there are different...and I couldnt give a toss what someone does for a living etc.... To each there own....to be honest, I look at profiles which exudes warmth, humor, that are a little "different"with some effort put into them, male or female..profiles that are interesting... ..I dont particualry care what a potential partner does or doenst do for work....although to a degree our work life does define us...although it is not always who we are..personally .I would just like to meet one who is honest ....and lovely - are you out there ????????????

It does not take much to have a profession however it says more about your passion for your profession or career or anything else. Does it matter - not really. Just an excited RHP pervert who happens to have post graduate degrees. Who just likes to see what erucite Sex people like to articulate. Always learning. xx

Hi, My simple reading of it on here from the profiles I have read would be as Tuscanred mentions, white collar workers as opposed to being blue collar workers. I just take it as extra information, look at the profiles in total, and if need be ask some questions. I don't recall seeing many"professional" profiles such that I felt it was "in my face". Well we are all different anyway, which is a good thing, so if one profile doesnt fit, there is always another one to check out! Haver a good 'un!

Lol, I dunno Fiona.. I have met some pretty erudite dole bludgers in my time (they 'knew' every loop in the system).. and they were actually very loud and proud of the fact they were getting to surf to their hearts content whilst most of the friends were slogging away in an office, down a mine or under the bonnet of a car.SLK - yes, sacrifice - you used that word and this is what I think of when people say they are 'professional', the years they have sacrificed to get where they are today..maybe that is why there are so many of them on rhp, all that sacrifice and missing out - it is now time to reap their rewards..both secularly and sexually , and there, as Tuscanred said, are those on here..who are 'professional perverts'.. and, dammit, they never offered that course when I was looking at career options.. I'm seriously bummed - grumble, grumble, grumble.

Personally I have no problem with the term....I can see where some people may find the term arrogant or demeaning to others but in real terms I guess the term professional is informing those who are visiting a profile that they work 9-5, Monday-Friday.If this is the case then it is clearly spelling out what is a very large proportion of a person's life. When you think about the ratio of hours we are awake and the amount we spend at work, our 'profession' is very much a part of who we are as individuals. Professionals are often referred to as that due to the years spent in tertiary education and when making it clear to others it is neither offensive nor demeaning; merely explaining who they are without saying "I am a lawyer" or "I am a Accountant" - wouldn't that be more than someone who does not know you more than they need to know???Ultimately we are all here to meet others and by being yourself and being honest about who we are, we are much more likely to meet people we 'want' to meet not those who are not compatible....are we not????

ahhh a can of worms Yes, like many...at the start,when we looked at a few profiles and read what people write...and thought OMG !! i hope theres some normal people on here too? And put professional in our profile.. Then we talked to and and met some "professionals" zzzz think id rather the bogans...just dont wear ya flanno and keep your teeth in...hahaha So removed the professional part from our profile. Seriously..We try and never judge. but dont think we have ever played with any PROS. Not that we dont contact/chat/plan to meet/invite them to our partys. They just never follow thru, or make up some reason to cancel??.. I guess its all about attitude...i know many smart articulated car/bike people ... but also know many very educated people who are close minded and shallow. Watch for red flags i guess :>

Well we finally got round to updating our profile the other day and lo and behold we used the term professional!Nothing was meant by it and we were not trying to be pretentious - we are after all what we are.Anyway we have now removed it and I guess it doesn't make that much difference to our profile.

In my business anyone that charges by the hour for their services is referred to as professional. I have the experience and the skills gained after years of hard work. I also have the equipment and I know how to use it properly and safely. That's why I'm a professional and why I get paid the big bucks. My profile states that I am a professional bondage Mistress so that people are forewarned.When I read a profile that states someone is a professional I assume that they wish to be private in regards to their identity and that they are more likely to choose their profession over their sex life if the two are likely to clash. This isn't a bad thing. For couples I suppose it makes it easier to find time to meet with others if they are all in the same time frame.I have read some profiles that state they are looking for a "professionally minded" person or couple and I wish them good luck since they have just eliminated/alienated many that would have replied or made contact.

Back when I was in my early 20s, I answered a newspaper ad for a woman in her late 40s and one of the words she used was "professional". I didn't think much of it at the time, but when we met she said to me "you understand what I mean by professional don't you?"I was a young whipper-snapper back then in shirt and tie working admin and I figured I had missed the significance of the word and judging by the casual raunchy sex we were having back at her place not long after, I figured it must mean someone who is a professional at casual sex - that is, not getting emotionally hung up, not wanting a relationship, not being possessive or jealous, etc (in which case it would be unprofessional casual sex?? Hmmm, hehe!).All these years, I've figured that's what it meant: "No time wasters, no standing us up or messing us around, no strings, no unknowing partners, no dramas - professionals only please!"Frankly, to find out that it means "Office workers only please" is quite a disapointment. How dull...!!Ladies, if you are interesting, sexually engaging and passionate, I don't care if you're a cleaner or a CEO - count me as interested, hehe!! :)

Just having the word "Professional" in the description wouldn't sway us one way or the other. We certainly wouldn't call it pretentious or elitist. The whole "class" thing is so old hat anyway and to try and label it as such is just perpetuating it further and should be discouraged!It does conjure up an image, but that image varies from person to person. To us it means they are people who have probably trained for their career (not necessarily white collar - electricians are blue collar but are trained and professionals too, for example). It's all part of the "bigger picture" and should be used in context with everything else in their profile to help us decide whether we might be compatible. We find the answers to topics on RHP VERY revealing...it gives far more of an insight into their true personalities and whether we might be compatible!

Well rarely we write here and I will defend professionals as this is simply a descriptive word for pride in what you do and the organization in which you work for. If you have a professional outlook on your work and it expects a positive and professional approach that is how people advance in this world. People say professional because that is how they feel about themselves and we want to mix with these people. Please don't knock us because we strive to succeed whilst not hurting anyone.

There can be so many perceptions, some people can obviously take it in a wrong way, but yes, generally the word "professional" would seem to exclude people that are NOT professiona as potential partnersl...But as someone pointed out you can be professional at many things - including blue collar, trade type jobs, so perhaps it is more likely the "way" to behave - it might mean that you are always on time, you call if you are running even 5 min late, you do not pick your nose while talking to your date, and you pay for the dinner and drinks - or at least offer to, and then if the lady insists to maintain her distance by paying for her part you don't behave like you own her already and let her do what she wants... And a "professional" needs to be well organised, keep clean and tidy in their appearance, floss their teeth, etc - is that too much to ask?

people throw 'professional' around like it means something. it doesnt. the garbage men are 'professional' waste technicians..... the shit sucker from Kennards is the same....but he's a shit sucking professional....careful, considerate, polite, principled, ethical, learned, admirable......all used to be what we thought of when someone said 'professional'........now any man/woman/dog/football player/shit sucker/drug pusher or petty thief can call themselves professional......it means nothing....really... its just a word people throw around.....like 'intelligent', 'intellectual', 'arrogant', 'beautiful'.............et al.....a much mis-used word that once was a noun but is now used as an adjective.....

Seriously who gives a rats arse what anyone else on here does or intends to do .. ? Not many would be my guess and those that state Professional probably mean .. educated , have most of their teeth and can afford to pay off their credit card at the end of every month .... But like I said who gives a flying fuck

professional means businessman/ woman in a capital city CBDthere is no other use for the term.this is a sex website, not a website to show off what job we have or how much of a corporate high-flyer we are.:)

Some people analyze endlessly over anything. In their profession they are known as a Constant Complaint. Professionals are mostly unavailable during business hours. That could be the reason.

If you like to engage socially, prior to engaging sexually, things progress so much smoother if you are with someone of similar outlook and tastes. It can be so irritating when you meet an attractive, engaging person who then goes on to spout nothing but rubbish. Maybe "Professional" is a code-word for the cliched "latte sipping, chardonnay swallowing inner city dwelling elite", as opposed to the battlers who live in the outer suburbs. I know that I'm stereotyping, but in the political area these are called constituencies, and their outlooks and interests are poles apart.

It's amazing what people can get annoyed over. It just a bloody word, and it means different things to different people. A case in point: the difference between a professional sports person and an amateur sports person is that the professional gets paid directly to perform his/her profession. You can use the word "amateur" if you want to insult someone "you're a bloody amateur". You can compliment someone on doing a good job by saying "Wow!, that looks very professional".Instead of getting hung up over it or getting your knickers in a knot, you could always take the simple approach of asking them?
