Hi all,

Not sure if I'm being precious, or if this is legitimately not ok. Opinions please. I matched with this guy on tinder: his full name and occupation are on there: CBT therapist with NHS. He asked me if I wanted to play a game of questions, I asked what that was, and he said: do you like (among other things) having your hair pulled?

I was like wtf, that's so disrespectful of you to ask that, and blocked him. I do however have screenshots of the convo, and I found him on linkedin. I am thinking about making a complaint, because this could put women he talks to like that off going to a therapist. Surely by anouncing publically that he's an NHS therapist, he is representing them?

However, I am not sure if I am massively overreacting, as he is not my therapist (thank god).

Side note: online dating sucks.

Therapists need love too! And kinky sex by the look of this one Confused

However, you have to ask why he is “advertising” his job on Tinder. I presume to give people instant confidence and trust that he’s a good guy. If he really was a good guy, he wouldn’t be doing that. Dodgy as fuck!

Also agree. Inside if you ended up being referred to him for cbt after!

I agree with you especially as his name, picture and role are on there. There will be guidelines for him to follow re social media.
