user.userprofile will only work if you have a OneToOneField rather than 
ForeignKey (which is a many-to-one relationship) in the UserProfile model 
pointing to User. 

When you have a ForeignKey, the user object will instead have 
user.userprofile_set which is a manager, so you could do 
user.userprofile_set.all() to get all the profiles for this user. This is 
probably not what you want so use a OneToOneField instead.
