My own (highly personal) opinion is that "professionals" who refer to themselves, and others, as "professionals", such as the one who has contacted you, tend to be pompous, arrogant, snobbish, lacking in sense of humour and boring in bed. (this does NOT apply to professionals who don't feel the need to actually call themselves "professionals"... I'm sure you're all fantastically fun in bed :P)

I'm a professional person with lots of post grad things on the wall.. I have to say that discussions with my peers are as boring as all fuck. That's why I like sex so much... I dont turn my brain off... but I do turn my attention to more interesting things. People, whatever they do for their cheese, are often very interesting privately. Ive met and fucked the most interesting people without ever knowing what they do for a living and frankly why wold I care. Lots of hugs, Gazza

It had nothing to do with being a professional but just a general request? I dunno. Im a tradesman and a business runner, i like intelligent conversation, im not sure what intelligent conversation means to most people though. Maybe they're just rude?

I think too many try the "professional" line to make out they are that bit better than the rest of the mob . Seems these days though , even the office junior has some title to their name such as "Incoming message Manager" , and its causing a few swelled heads and over inflated egos about the place . We dont wish to offend anyone who is a true profesional , more power to them for doing what they choose to do , but it seems the majority of self proclaimed "professionals" who make it a special point of their profile content are just being very anally retentive. Its not a job interview for christs sake . Whats it matter really what your job or line of work is ? .I dont think it makes one iota of difference really as its all about the person and not if they are a "professional" employed person. If you need to make a special issue of being a "professional" then you may be having some identity issues or feelings of insignificance and there are " professional " people trained in this feild who may be able to help you deal with this. We have met people from many walks of life and its far more interesting to converse and learn what other people do in life rather than just stick to our own little box. Gazpacho pretty much nailed it in one with his post . As for us, yeah we could post "professional" on our profile too if we wanted, but we choose not to. Why?, we dont feel we are any better than the person next door simply because of our work or training or feel the need to try and make out we are just that bit better than the rest. So why do people feel the need to make some special issue of being " professionals"??

if you were a real professional, with the high quality of a professional person, you wouldn't need to ask what we have that you don't - but rest assured, we have it.*puts nose in the air, crosses arms and fixes everyone with a snooty glare - except the other professionals, we're kind to our own*(Just tell them you're strictly amateur, so you can't take money but donations are gladly accepted)

Unfortunately I can't find it but I did have an email that I recieved some time ago. It was along the lines of a woman getting a drivers licence and is asked what her profession is. She is a stay at home mother but instead answers with something along the lines of human resourses and communications manager (not quite that but something along those lines). I too am a professional. My official title is General Manager. I manage my partners office and handle all our suppliers. I also manage the day to day running of our very busy office (our house) and look after our apprentices (all 4 children). I manage the on site catering and also manage our disputes department, which with 2 teenagers in the house is always a busy department. As I'm holding phone conferences with suppliers and liasing with clients you'll find more often than not I'll be making bread or starting dinner preparations. They livestock management is the trickiest to explain should they decide to start crowing or clucking whilst on the phone to clients. So yes, I am a professional. I am a General Manager. And if anyone ever wanted to talk about the pro's and con's of chicken feed with me I am more than delighted to do so. Ali xxx

I am not in the least put out, i was simply amazed that someone should even mention it. I could quite easily have gone to Uni had i so desired but i didnt want to. A bit like someone who is a damn good athlete and could probably get Olympic medals but just cant be bothered going down that road. I'm very happy with who I am. Clearly that man was not with himself. At the end of the day I dont care what jobs people have as long as they are nice to me and treat me with respect!!

Warning Warning....Im a Professional .....Sqark Squark......You can teach a cocky to say " im a Professional " ? A true Professional will never say, I'm a professional ! I was plesantly suprised earlier this year to meet a world renowned sergeon, a leader and pioneer in his field, More money that what he knows what to do with, and still working only because he is making a difference.....Before i met him I had some preconcieved ideas about what to expect....Professor Pompas I thought...? I was so suprised to meet a humble, genuine nice person that didn't talk down to you !...now thats a professional ! xo Tam

I don't like this assumption, expressed in many of the posts above, that if you define yourself as a professional that you are somehow up yourself, pompous, divorced from reality, or elitist. I hear people say derogarory thing like this against professional types and university educated people all the time and somehow this is ok. But if a professional person says it about a non professional person it is "snobby." What is wrong with saying you are looking for a particular type of person, because you feel you would be more compatible with them. I mean, I know my lifestyle is not compatible with someone who likes to run every day, go on on the boat, and watch footy, cos I hate doing those things. Why would it be offensive if I said I had more in common with a lawyer and a tradie? Why does anyone else care? It's not about "I'm better than you" its about "We have stuff in common." lovebitten xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Sydneyboy ~ you rock bebe. You can turn your sexy tail on me any day.. hehe. Lovebitten I agree entirely in so far as I have no intention to run down people just by reason that they belong to one of the professions. More power to them. You meet interesting people everywhere, that's the point I would like to stress. By the by, clearly there are those of us within the professions who do like fishing and football. Hugs Gazza

Thanks for pointing out that professional people like footy too! I am aware of that! I guess what i was getting at that people are looking for someone they are compatible with, and that I am not interested in those things, so I would not be compatible with someone who was. I think we should all stop talking about this... there are much better things we should be doing, obviously my mouth isn't full enough! lovebitten xoxoxoxoxo

In our case there is no way we look for active people cos we are so NOT lol! But I remember we made that mistake once, with a relatively young fella who was falling asleep by MIDNIGHT cos he had taken a LOOONG run that morning, I mean honestly! We were up to staying UP ALL night lmho! I had a peek at your profile and it says very nicely that you are looking for 'Tall, smart, white collar men.' I would hope the person that contacted desserts would have something of the sort in their profile rather than sounding like a total snob if they wrote desserts as she said, saying, "am I a professional person so that we can have an intelligent conversation??"Cheers...

Professional what though???A professional lawyer or a professional mud wrestler??He would have made more sense and seemed less snobby if he had've said what sort of professional he actually was!I have no issues with people who are professionals in their fields...but they should never assume that I cant have an intelligent conversation because Im not in their field of expertise.I know a little about a lot...and love learning new things... and absorb new info like a sponge....so I love meeting people from all walks of life...whatever their "profession" is.Just my opinion...BJxxx

I am looking for someone to have sexual encounters with. I'm not single, ok I'm a naughty girl but I have my reasons, but i'm not looking for someone to "date" And just cos i didn't go to uni does not mean i can't hold an intelligent conversation. I can spell, except when i accidentally hit the wrong key, I have a good command of the English language, i'm extremely well travelled, i am financially secure and no man helped me get there either, all my own doing, but all of that means zilch in my circumstances on here anyway. As i said above, i'm not put out by what he said anyway, i just found it very interesting and unusual considering our particular circumstances.

"Intelligent" and "professional" are not always the same!! There are heaps of people out there who are not professionals who like yourself, love learning new things and are smart and opinionated. Lots of dull educated types too. Years ago, the only people who had the right to call themselves professionals were doctors and lawyers. Everything else, nursing, teaching etc, were either trades or vocations. The term "profession" seems to have widened some how. lovebittenxoxoxoxox

The word professional is not necessarily synonymous with "intelligent". Please allow me to illucidate in much the same vein as my esteemed colleague Sydneyboy. The position in society ofa professional man has developed and widened historically and is now a well accepted and understood concept, whihc involves both social and legal aspects of responsibility. A profession is difficult to define, but it most certainly is easy to recognise as distinct from a trade or business. The conduct of a professional person is a matter fo rregulation by law of teh exercise of his skill, but society in general regards the behaviour of professionals as subject to codes of ethics and rules of conduct which are self imposed, either by teh individual or on behalf of an association of professionals. It may well be said that the social aspect of professionalism is of reduced relevance but all professions still involve a degree of public respect and social responsibility and professonal liability. A mere "mud wrestler" carries none of this burden Miss B-J. *tilts head to one side, raises snout, swishes curls off shoulders, turns and struts away* Royal waves Dr Gaz

Anyone who thinks of themself as a professional on RHP really are suffering from some type of grand delusion. Its a state of mind only. When they die their 6 feet under is just as deep as everybody elses 6 feet under' but for some reason while they are alive this delusion carries on for their lifetime. ? Im a business owner and meet and greet people of all walks of life. I have meet many ppl in very high profile positions who are just a pleasure to deal with and I have meet those who are so far their own arse its not funny. ( All little alan bonds running around ) Fair Dinkum ? DESSERTS... Any person who describes themself as anything but who they really are is not worth the time of day. Seems to me like the suggestion is that' be carefull' do you know who I am... has no place in the rhp arena.. Sure' we have our guidelines and our expectations' but please... theres a thing called decorum...

i never got it... professional what? i always thought it meant you got paid to do something. does being on a sex site and saying you are a professional mean you are a prostitute? now they could potentially have interesting an interesting conversation or two up their sleave. he sounds like a tosser, an intelligent person would most likely have an intelligent way of finding out if someone is intelligent....

Just Juice... How is someone describing themselves as a professional guilty of being delusional? Professional is a catagory of work. It implies a cetain level of tertiary education. It is a vauge term, yes, but a legit one. If a man describes themselves as being a tradie, because they have a trade, is this a delusion too? lovebitten xxxxxxxx

When I look at my wall I see two degrees from the University of Queensland. I'm currently doing my third, and in a matter of years hope to be finished it so I can provide an even better life for my children. I am damn proud of what I have achieved against the odds. I am a single mum with no financial support from anyone (kid's father is dead) and I have struggled to keep my life together sometimes. But I have. If I want to call myself a professional, and seek a professional as a partner, because of what I have achieved, surely I ought to be able to do that without judgement. I don't live in an ivory tower, I'm not up myself, and I don't look down on anyone. But a professional person I am. Why is it a dirty word? and surely even professionals, like everyone on this site, get to choose who they fuck. Right? lovebitten xoxoxoxoxox

I have an old mate. I surfed with him when we were 10. He was a herion junkie at 20. He lives in his folks house at 40. I have had some of the most intelligent conversations in my life with this guy. He is a true proffessional.

Oh how I hate the initial chit chat when meeting new people as I'm always waiting for the 2nd or 3rd question,"So, what do you do?"Why does my job have to be one of the top defining characteristics of what makes me, me?Like Gaz, these pups have so many flash bits of paper adorning our walls (actually they are in a drawer somewhere, I think?)These bits of paper allow us to make a living of which the finer details are far beyond the scope of an answer to a question posed to us in the first minute of meeting us. The answer also will commonly have us pigeon-holed as "uber-professionals" which can limit further interesting discussion directions.We like to get to know interesting people from all walks of life. We do like intelligent people in all their guises.I love a good reminisce so here's a story from my childhood:Once upon a time I was a teenager sailing with my dad on his large, cruising yacht (any assumptions yet people?).In port we were rafted up next to another fine vessel and daddy dearest got to chatting to it's captain, a very toffy fellow with a lovely ripe plumb in his mouth. I think he may have been wearing a cravat but this may be imagination. Well said Mr Toff inquired to our homeland and was quite taken that we were from our nations capital and very impressed that my father worked in the government. Father, being an extremely intelligent man held conversation with Mr Toff about many pressing social issues over several meetings (we kept arriving at the same ports). Things were progressing very well and we had been invited over for wines with bubbles in them and eggs from fish no less. Father and Mr Toff got along famously and to point not a lie passed my father's mouth over so many hours of discourse. Mr Toff inquired to what department my father worked in, Transport, much debate ensued over what directions would be best for our country in this area and many more eggs of fish were devoured. Finally a question that would expose us was asked:"what is your title?", asked Mr Toff"bus driver!" the reply.Well Mr Toff could not hide his distain at the waste of his time and fine eggs with these impostors.He forgot how impressed he was that my father made every part of his yacht with his bare hands, or the amazement at the wind vane auto pilot that my father designed and built again with his hands. Nor the amazement that we had no electronic navigation as dear ol dad did it with a map, ruler, pencil and sextant (no Gaz not a tool you could use).This little memory is the likely root of why I cringe when someone asks me "what I do".Professional? Well dear dad was a professional driver - of buses, trucks, heavy machinery, race cars. He was also a farmer which made him a professional ecologist, biologist, botanist, weather man. I regard him as one of the most intelligent people I have ever met, who knows what he could have achieved if he hadn't been forced to leave school at 15 to run a farm as his father was terminally ill. I really like professionals as my definition of a professional is someone who does what they do to the best of their ability and does it better than most. So how many professionals are out there?

The FIRST subset of sales got pissed off with the 3rd, and they created a 4th.... Cannot tell you who they are... but you can "Judge" for yourself.

Have to join in this topic..love it..! Gazpacho nailed it. What is a professional? My immediate reply (not word for word) this is from Macquarie Dict.. 'following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain' undertaken or engaged in as a means of livelihood or for gain, following as a business an occupation ordinarily engaged in as a pastime, A professional is a member of a vocation founded upon specialised educational training. Then again he could have meant "a person engaged in one of the learned professions" to clarify profession,again from macquarie, a vocation requiring knowledge of some department of learning or science, especially one of the three vocations of theology, law, and medicine (formerly known specifically as the professions or the learned professions): a lawyer by profession. A person who earns his living from a specified activity. One more step, intelligent- adjective 1. having a good understanding or mental capacity; quick to understand, as persons or animals: conversation- noun 1. informal interchange of thoughts by spoken words. Maybe, desserts, he should have said he wants social as well as sexual intercourse. I know I do. He should have read your posts on this forum. Llike you, most, if not all, of the participants in the forums seem capable of intelligent exchange and some, like you and trishl, although I can't see her profile, sound very nice.

...my father, even though thoroughly intelligent still had a chip on his shoulder about the academic side of things (maybe jealousy as he was ripped out of the system by necessity). So I had to get my bits of paper enduring the jeers of "get a real job" which wasn't at all nice!Gaz actually gave the proper definition of a profession and there are very few true professions or professionals left in our society. A professional adheres to the strictest code of ethics and should be regularly put under peer review to retain their professional status. This rarely happens in any field these days.

There are very very few people that I don't think are interesting on some level, whether they be professionals or not. I rarely ask what someone does for a living... often it's the least interesting part of them... Lovebitten - I also hate running, I get seasick on boats and I like soccer better than footy so yes I agree that you need to have things in common... but I don't think I only have things in common with other professionals, at all... people who are curious about life and living it interest me more than anything else.. My only real turn off is bad spelling... but c'mon... we all got taught to spell in primary school FFS... where were some people?? Absent for the whole 6th grade?? lol there's just no excuse :P In the workplace, rather than be considered a "professional" merely because I have a degree, I prefer to be considered "competent and capable". Oh... and I also like to be considered "competent and capable" in bed :P

That's a very interesting story about your dad, I no i do do the whole 'so what do you do' thing (how many times can i say do in a sentence? ) Mainly to move the conversation forward.....unless said person is on the dole (I have a real gripe with people who happily sit on welfare without even attempting to get a job) Though I have the same chip on my shoulders as your father, especially for people studying something that I personally don't consider useful (arts degree anyone?) Like a friend of mine, he studied WW2....but more specifically.....Soviet tank design between 1937 - 1945....for 8 years he studied this....How can I honestly congratulate someone on that? oh and he binned it in the final year.....Yes I have a chip on my shoulders, I think anyone from the working class areas (like your father Puppy) Who are intelligent people, but get put down by so called 'higher intellects', which results in them having an axe to grind.Also, you can have intelligent conversation about anything, I have a thing for politics, social issues...and pretty much everything else....I'm opinionated.

A typical Arts degree is three years full time and generally comprises of 2 majors. Further, there are specifications that prevent an Arts degree becoming too narrow in scope, so i doubt that your friend studied WW@ tanks exclusively for eight years. Perhaps you never properly listened or understood what your friend was studying? I value my Arts degree and found it a great leap stone to further study. Any one that makes a poke about it being useless clearly has no knowledge of what one entails. lovebitten xoxoxoxoxo

Your right, He studied soviet politics through WW2....but specifically tank type/design. He wrote a thesis that the professor or whatever didn't like, they wanted him to add a wider scope. He binned the degree (which would have put him into Military intelligence) if had have completed it.Now he just does tutoring.

lovebitten... I'd never call anyone a nasty cow... ever....it's called having a sense of humour... and being a "professional" is not an occupation!!! A professional what? No one, least of all Desserts, was having a go at anyone's occupation. Your occupation is completely different from calling yourself a "professional" My point being that people who call themselves "professionals" have a "slight" tendancy to take themselves a "wee" bit too seriously.

Well this has turned out to be interesting. I was certainly not having a go at anyone's occupation. In fact funnily enough for what it is worth, most guys who contact me are engineers, accountants, doctors, pilots and university lecturers!! And a few others thrown in. I had a long term lover who is an economics professor. We mostly talked about our kids, travel, his boring life as he put it, and my sex toys!! What my main issue was that I thought it odd that someone would suggest to me that they couldn't have an intelligent conversation with me unless I was a "professional." It seemed even more odd considering the main object of the exercise was to have adult fun only, not go on dates or cohabitate.

Personally' I have several diplomas' so should I be thinking I should push that down peoples throat ? I dont.. Talk about throwing a dampener on things ....sheeesh Desserts opening remark was ' with due respects to professionals on here' whats the go with these professionals ? My interpretation of this comment is... Im here for a good time not be challenged by someones ego. Theres a time and place for everything... this was wrong ...

Back to the point I want to make...and that is, why is calling one's self a professional indicative of ego? Why? It's just a description of how they perceive themselves in the world. Thats all. Its the same as short, tall, big willie, big boobs, attractive, average, whatever. A describing word of what they are. I never had a problem with dessert's post. What offended me was not that the man discused called himself a professional, but firstly, that he assumed that if desserts was not, she was some how inferior, and secondly, the subseqent debate that basically ridiculed anyone who deems themself a professional, and called them "deluded" if they dare describe themselves this way. Check you post, this is indeed what you said. Keep smiling lovebitten xoxoxoxoxxo

It doesn't matter what you do for a living. We aren't here to find clones. We are here for some fun. Either you get on with some one or you don't. Your profession makes absolutly no difference to that. I love meeting people from all walks of life. Who cares about their profession, shape or race. I guess I am lucky and get on with most people. I am not much good at having sex with someone I don't like, there has to be a 'something' there, for it to be great.

Oh and yeah I'm a crap speller and a crap typer (sometimes my crap typing fixes my bad spelling ?)..lowers his head in shame, kowing that poor spelling is one of Sophie's pet hates.... was just wondering why we used the term professional in our profile actually, I mean we were newbies at the time when that line was included, and was probably plagiarizing others lines.. having said that our "Professional" quote is in relation to discretion, and in reality we wouldn't have titled ourselves as professionals to inferwe are better than others, moreso that in the eyes of our clients we are suppose to be considered professionals, and therefore discretion is important. In other words only because those clients might consider our lifestyle (albeit none of there business) conflicts with the role/service we provide them....(and No i won't tell you what we do in this forum, or who we do for that matter)....Man I'm reading that back and not sure it makes sense ??? In relation to the actual topic raised in this forum, we definitely do not use the status of professional to discriminate. Although we have only been on here (RHP) for a relatively short period of time we have met lots of wonderful people from all walks of life. Infact what people do for a profession/living/etc doesn't come into it.. Hey we are much more shallow than that, we only go for big tits ...,,, that was a joke (incase someone gets offended) :-).

This is being blown way way way out of proportion..We are not talking about all professional people we are talking about one guy who thinks his shit don’t stink, he's not a professional he's an "owner operator" (wanker) I too am a "professional" but then I go home usually late, take some work home, make a few calls, tee up some appointments ...Then surf the net log on to RHP perve on women’s cleavage drool over Sophies & Puppys Butt & if there’s enough alcohol involved I look at Gazza's too .. It doesn’t matter what you do or who you do, its who you are that counts.. So lets all have a group hug before they ban them, & then we can all go & pick on the Bambi Blonde bimbo that thinks we don’t exist!! Hey GTX69 NICE STICK Wanna play fetch Cheers Oldog

I'm such a professional professional but so many posts to reply to and I just can't remember them all, intellect hey!GTX - haha oh it's always acceptable to rev up the old arts degree thing, but only for a harmless laugh.Sophie - if you need a spanking we should be the ones to give it (only because we want to) and if my spelling and punctuation is ever lacking, I'm so sorry as I do get lost in perving at all the hot bits on here just like OLDDOG - haha I must admit perving on Gaz's butt after a few drinks too.Now lovebitten I do love a bit of banter and love to rile my "arty" friends up but give respect where it's due too. I'm very proud of where I've come from and what I've achieved but will also poke fun at myself too. GTX was having a stir but has a point, there are many people who study inane things that have bugger all relevance to society and get supported by tax payers dollars, nearly as frustrating as dole bludgers! Many of these do fall into the "arts" genre so there's an obvious place to poke a stick BUT an Arts degree in it's purest form is just an open degree, you may study science, politics, theatre, art, economics, engineering, pretty much anything so there's many a worthy Arts student out there.OK arse is better than arts so let's get back to perving at all the gorgeous butts out therexxx to all

While not wanting to enter the professional vs wanker debate I think there are newbies entering the site that believe most of us are father raping sex maniacs, so in order to find a comfort zone they want to meet someone just like themselves..(i.e professionals .. not FRSMs or PFRSMs)There may be no intention to offend Mr. SR.

see... now... I don't really get what you're saying there... why do you (and others on their profiles too... you are not alone :P) think professionals need more discretion than others? Because that's what seems to be implied whenever I read "I'm a professional so discretion is important" A stay-at-home mum with no degree is just as entitled to discretion as anyone else, in my opinion, and it may be very important to her. If discretion is important to you, I would have just said that and not qualified it with the term "professional".... But hey, each to their own and I've been told off enough on this post already :( .... someone should really send me to bed early with a spanking... naughty Miss Sophie :P ...and damnit... my tits are probably not big enough to distract you from my opinions... but I swear that in bed you can spell anyway you like as long as you're talking dirty.... is your spare room still available???? :P

I come across (No Gaz- I meet) Professionals every day in my business, and most not all really DO turn their noses up at you and think you are a lower life form. Thats life, and hey before you get on my tail about tarring everybody with the same brush etc etc, i do encounter professionals evry single day, so i am speaking from experience. It just doesn't bother meSome of the most interesting people i have met were the most unassuming (Yes some wore suits too)I think if he asks whether your a professional, it is his right, as it is your right to tell him to find someone else.It's an assumption he is willing to make, and we all know assumptions are the mother of all fuck ups (Clint Eastwood, jeeze he's got some corker one liners hehe)

Seems I've come across as much too harsh towards professionals on this post as I've had a couple of private messages telling me in no uncertain terms that this is so and that I'm wrong about professionals in general. So, I am apologizing sincerely if I've come across as too harsh. That wasn't my intention. And I didn't mean to imply that professionals are all arrogant. There are certainly arrogant people from all walks of life. I guess I just dislike the term, I'd never use it to describe myself. It's something that I think others should be the judge of. All I was trying so unsuccessfully to say was that you don't really need to call yourself a professional to be one... If you are a professional, rest assured, everyone will know and appreciate you for it. I was just having a bit of a go at those thankfully few professionals that are arrogant, and in no way meant any disrespect to professionals in general. So, I'm sorry... I'll try to behave better next time and play nicer with the other kids. I promise.

Just lay the boot it, Don't apologize it makes you look weak infront of the other kids :PAnd whats wrong with me having a dig? Its good fun :D Im a grade 10 drop-out, had the reading capabilities of a 12 year old, until i found Dr Karl on triple J. He made learning interesting and since then I've read alot of books and done sweet fuck all with it. In person I tend to come across as educated or as a very close female friend would say, I have a brain. Evidently very few people she knows bother using theirs, I would hazard a guess and say 'intelligent conversation' actually means 'interesting conversation', If someone is looking for a hook up (either regular or one off) then why cant they request a conversation that stimulates their mind?I don't take to what i call 'stupid people', everyone would have their own definition of that no doubt but mine is simply someone who can hold a conversation.....about anything, I don't care, I'm happy to talk about baby diapers or world politics. I don't mind, but if you bore the piss out of me, I'm not going to move onto physical stimulation.I have several (we shall call them ex-friends) who literally hurt my brain with their stupidity.....and its not the sort where people jump off buildings or anything, I mean completely mind-numbing people who cant hold a conversation about anything at all......except make up bullshit - which, funnily enough, Is easy to pick because I actually listen to people and use my memory for something beyond making up how many drinks I had last night (strangely enough people who tell you this shit always seem to think their heroes.....and they can always remember exactly how much of everything they drank) It just pisses me off that people can honest believe they can entertain someone with the bullshit they dribble. And them having tits and a pussy just isn't enough......even when you do them doggy style and try to plow their head into the pillow....they just wont shut the fuck up with the bullshit.I dislike people./end rant.Until next time.

Your second last post was far more cheerful, come over here and we'll give you a hug!!!Ah everyone needs a good rant every now and then. Agreed that stimulating conversation is the go and further we'd rather talk about anything else than our "profession", it's our job, we live it, breath it, enjoy it but when we get a break from it the last thing we want to do is talk about it for hours on end. Seems our occupations are somewhat fascinating to people, which is fine but really if you're trying to get in our pants we don't need to be talking about work.Sophie, no offense taken by these two "professionals" and I keep parenthesizing as we never introduce ourselves as such and agree with roughfukr that the people who like to point out their professional status at every opportunity are usually wankers. That said I can also see why some would use the term to attract like but there are much better descriptive words out there.Is it GROUP HUG time again? Oh this has just given me an idea for a topic...

A Psycoanalyst Drives his Saab out of the Institution, and gets a flat tyre directly out the front, He gets the manual out of the glove box and studies the " Tyre changing section" for 30 mins....He jacks the car up removes the wheel nuts, and carefully stacks them on top of each other, on top of the grid in the gutter....A Truck drives past, and the wheel nuts fall in.......He is left pondoring what to do with no wheel nuts to fit to his car ? A patient at the Mad House who has been watching him through the fence said......Take 1 nut off the other 3 wheels and fit them, that will get you going again ! The Psycoanalyst said to the patient, * That's a great idea * What are you doing there in the Mad House ? The Patient replied * Yes I'm Mad....But I'm not a fuckin Idiot *

Hey Mikle. I employed a professional down on his luck to do some labouring. I had him use a 4" grinder on some sandstone steps to remove the old paint (I know, I know.. call for a hazmat)... and I said "I'll be back in 1 hour and then we will go inside and lightly sand off some defective plasterboard joints"..... I get back an hour later and this guy is sitting there covered from head to foot in white dust... he says "I finished".... and I'm thinking "oh no!"... .sure enough, he had used the grinder inside and removed all the set joints. I am not sure who is dumber... him for doing it.. or me for leaving him alone. Fact is, being a member of a profession is no guarantee of intelligence. It simply gives the public expectations as to the quality of performance. How this is any measure for the quality of conversations to be had with a potential lover is anybody's guess. Dad never finished his qualifications. He was a welder. HUgs Gazza

My usual conversation with people I meet here or elsewhere is in the direction of physical pleasure, as that is the objective here. It is a broad and interesting area - enough to keep conversation going for hours in fact! So why bother going into topics such as employment and qualifications...?Just on sideline - I quit being a "professional" some years ago when I decided career in academia was not worth as much as running a fast food business which I find more exciting and definitely more rewarding in many ways... but everyone's different, we all have needs and wants, and money/employment/qualifications is not all there is...? When I meet someone I prefer to talk dirty, whisper in their ear what turns me on - there is nothing better to tell a hot woman than how I'd like to bend her over the nearest bench ;-)

Lovebitten, I have just finished reading all the threads for this post, and unfortunately I can't keep quiet any longer. I think it's time to get off your soapbox. The comments that are starting to come out, really do have little to do with the original post, ie: that someone listing themselves as professional perceived that only fellow professionals could hold intelligent conversations. There are many people who hold numerous degrees and other qualifications, but don't feel the need to whine on about it, pointing out that we have one, two, three degrees, as if to legitimise themselves and their opinions. As for your response to GTX69 when he spoke of his friend's study, it was rather patronising and rude. You don't know exactly what his friend studied, so "doubting" him and then having the gall to tell him he probably wasn't listening properly or didn't understand what he was being told was a little out of line. Implying that anyone is better (or smarter, more intelligent, more able to hold a conversation) than someone else because of the number of pieces of "paper" they have, or what field they work in, is arrogant and to be completely honest, kind of sad. Your point was made quite succinctly earlier on in the thread - it was clear, well written and a fair opinion.......and then it just went downhill. Anyway, gripe over.......have a Beautiful night everyone. H xx

As I understand it the word professional means to simply be paied to do a job eg the stable boy is a"professional" shit sweeper. So discribeing your self as a professional is saying that some 1 gives you a wage to do somthing I just wonder if professionals know of this fact?

Personally I like the comment professional in a profile, as it relfects to me someone will present themselves in a nice or "professional"/socialy acceptable manner. I dont think it relates to educational levels which everyone seems to be talking about. "Being arrogant, snobbish, lacking in sense of humour" has nothing to do with it, that's just being a dick and not a nice person. A tradesman can be professional in their conduct same with a stay at home much. But if you met someone in private or your job your tracksuit pants and dirty top that's not professional, your a slob. And you'll quickly loose the respect of those people for your lack of 'professionalism" in dealing with them. Its also how you treat people, as professionalism goes hand in hand with manners...As for prejudging a person on that and stereotyping just because you didn't go to Uni when you had the chance, I say you have some personal issues to work over.

Oh I just noticed Mikle's response. I admire anyone who comes from adversity and forges a happy and successful life for themselves and their family. What does piss me off though about people in general when it comes to this topic is how blatantly one sided their belief systems are.To use another terminology - blue and white!Blue collar workers are hard working, honest, practical and keep the world going around where as those damn white collars don't work at all and ponce around in their suits all day and can't change a washer when the tap drips!Or is it:Damn neanderthal blue collars chipping away at bits of stone, lucky some white collar came along and designed some better tools even if they did have poncy names and Watt was with that guy who found electricity!Oh FFS we live in a pretty complex society and through necessity everyone has had to become specialised in their work roles, whether that's brain surgery or pushing a button at the factory floor. Is Mikle more worthy as he built himself up from the school of hard knocks to be a successful capitalist than say compared to Mrs Hobnob who came from privilege, given the chance at higher education works just as hard to achieve great things in oh let's say medicine that positively affects a great number of people? Mrs Hobnob may even donate her time to working with the less fortunate (from the school of hard knocks) at much reduced earning potential. So surely she's an impractical loser compared to the success of Mr Mikle?Again I respect many endeavors in life but this respect is diminished when people are so goddamn biased toward their own achievements. Oh and damn it Mikle I actually need a good plasterer at the moment!Rant over

GTX69, I appreciate what you are saying, but from my perspective, I'm not looking for a soul mate, just discreet adult fun. I dont know anyone these days who goes on about how much they have drunk. I guess it is an age thing. And I would have thought that the gent who wrote to me originally asking if I was a professional, should have realised that I must have a few brains, after all I think my profile is original and well thought out, I had already exchanged a few messages with him explaining my situation and if he had read between the lines and done the sums he should have realised that as I still have school aged kids, one of whom has a long way to go at school. he would have realised I am an older mum and I must have done something over the years surely, and gained some life experience. But it doesn't really matter anyway, as i terminated the message exchange after he wrote that. I just couldn't be bothered, and as they say there are plenty more fish in the sea.

If someone puts such a stipulation on such things then I tend to think its better to not have met. I hate talking about work, Like puppy said, Its our job/career, we probably don't like doing it but are slaves to the money. Hope you find a decent fella who can have an interesting conversation without being an arrogant twat-donkey Steve

It is amazing that this topic of yours have captured a lot of people's ideas or thoughts about professionals. I am so sorry to hear that you've met one of those professionals who are probably lacking in confidence and would like to present himself/herself in a good picture and ended up looking or sounding arrogant. Honestly, there are professionals out there who rather have the silliest conversation about anything. In my case, it is a fact. I love a laugh. If I was still in sydney, I would give you a call and take you out (I really need a date in perth - i always get tagged along when i go out by myself) and then we can talk about anything you want : ) because life is about learning from each other.

Abcynthia I’m assuming your post was directed at me?? So if I was a professional English teacher and my post had more sense, then perhaps 200 people would have replied to it rather than the roughly 90 odd who actually did. And if I was a professional English teacher then would that make me a better bedmate for a discreet encounter with a married man who wants nothing more really than get his rocks off. I would say that the majority of men on this site would prefer to meet a sexually compatible female who knows exactly what she wants rather than someone who according to yourself is totally hopeless at expressing herself literally. I guess it has been far too many years since I was at school. But hey, I know how to please a man sexually and I don’t lie there like a sack of potatoes and as this is essentially a sex site, then as far as I am concerned, that is all that counts.P.S I did come top in maths, I really did. Every year. is that any help??
