Before I start this can I just say I am NOT judging or criticising anyone. I am genuinely intruiged as to why people thinkIT makes a difference.
What is IT I hear you wondering ? Well its simply this;
"Professional couple looking for", "professional guy seeking" and occasionally " Professional lady wants".
The thing that confuses me is why it makes a difference to us if someone is employed in a profession or not, would we really turn someone away purely because they did unskilled manual work for a living, and if we wouldn't then why do so many of us have to advertise the fact that we are professionals.
Do we really swing within peer groups dictated by intelligence or financial income ? I would like to think that we don't, but if not it leads me back to my original thought, why do we need to mention our employment at all.
Much as i stand to be corrected I can't recall every seeing an advert or profile which said "manual worker seeks" or "unemployed couple looking for".
Is it simply a case of internet snobbery that leads people to use the P work in there adverts and profiles or is there more to it than that ?
Its a subconscious way of making it respectable in your own mind!
Even you said why do we have to mention were professional not they!
My thought on it anyway.....

Can you call a someone who charges a swinger?
it not something that botheres me if anything tis a little off putting in a profile a bit snobbish sometimes imo
woulod i class us a professional dek is a professional i am a fully qualified chef but dont work at the moment does that make me a half profesional???? but i aint got it in profile if people like us they should like us for us not for the jobs we do or what we are
I've just re worded our ad as I felt I was being far too modest:
Professional couple own monstrous mansion in Home Counties plus an idyllic thatched country cottage and luxurious villa in Mustique. Come drive with us in our Aston Martin or the Ferarri for the ride of your life. A real class upmarket shag. No winks please, we're too rich to bother with that.
Do you think we'll get more replies? :lol2:

I once thought academic achievments were the way forawrd leading to a proffesional career, its possibly still the same, then I see the number of x proffesionals entering the building trade , my son iscurrently earning a teachers wage as an apprentice brickie, not bad considering he will have no loan to pay back and by the time those at uni have qualified he will have the capacity to earn one and a half times that of his gp...clever devil isn't he.. ill move on, to answer sleazies point..people tell you what is important to them in their profiles, asian guy seeks, professional seeks, red headed woman seeks, be thankful they do as its all part of the picture you can build.. I'm not sure its anything more than that, it may of no importance to you though,
theres a role in life for everyone, I don't think your career makes you batter person.
i think, and this is only my opinion, its because they want to meet someone in the same 'class' as themselves, if they have a well paid job the chances are they have a higher standard of living than someone on the dole, eat out in posh places and all, so when doing the social meet, have a drink see how we get on etc they want to meet people who fit in with and can afford their life style, it also says what kind of people they want to meet, in a previos add i remember putting as half a joke not looking for chavs, ok it was ment to light hearted but im not, by them stating they looking for professional couple maybe thats their way of saying the same, the chances are a doctor or such like isnt going to turn up bling to the eye balls in a track suit saying innit lol
