"Anyone else find people describing themselves as 'professional' a bit cringe or off putting? Like are the rest of us mere mortals lower down the pecking order? The bin man, the girl in Centra are all professionals too. What exactly are they trying to say? They obviously see themselves as somehow superior to a lot of other fabbers or am I reading too much into this? " your 100% right | |||

"Most likely reading too much into it. Answers will range from Notions to it being a way to communicate that they feel discretion is required because of their profession. Or maybe they just don't meet people who wear tracksuits. Or a way to signal social strata and a desire to meet similar. " so are you saying a person who wears a tracksuit is unprofessional. I'd be fairly sure sports people would disagree with you on that | |||

At the brief time I had professional in my profile I was working in hospitality. | |||

"It's a word. If someone using that word on their profile bugs you then cool, they obviously aren't for you. These threads usually produce lots of posts assuming many things about those using the word professional, judging them and their opinion of "us mere mortals", all the while oblivious to their own vitriol and judgement 🤷" Haven’t seen much vitriol on here particularly in the Irish forum. Plenty of interesting viewpoints and every day is a learning day. | |||

"I’m going to maintain my amateur status till my game improves…… It’s just a word, I doubt people who have it on their profile gave it near as much analysis or thought as it has received here, doesn’t bother me, it’s their profile, what can put whatever they want, it neither attracts me or puts me off a person or profile, it suggest nothing about the profile to me. We all have standards/filters/preferences, I haven’t gotten down to the nitty gritty of particular words in a profile triggering me or putting me off in any way. Maybe they use it as a filter for people who don’t like the word or phrase……." Filter that can work both ways | |||

"I would take it to mean that that basically wear clean clothes at work. I wouldn't read much more than that into it tbh. It wouldn't bother me one way or another. " Actually they don't have to wear a suit or clean clothes. Some do 100% So professionals are in 5 distinct categories. 1.White collar Solicitors,accountants, ceo (etc) consultants, IT 2. Blue collar Architect, crain ops, mechanics, electricians, maintenance tech 3. Clinical Docs, nurses, therapists, social workers, lab techs, vets 4. Support Pharmacy, engineers, revenue, medical industry 5. Management Hr, operations, payroll, trainers, marketing Some clean some not. So some have skills, knowledge and or training, not just higher level education but also real life. Takes all sorts to make our life work. Still don't think 1 person is above anyone else or should be. Just my 2 cents worth. | |||

"Is almost a bad ppl saying they are "friendly and interesting". Like no one is gonna say "were door mat boring and very standoffish" I've absolutely no issue with ppl using whatever language they want to put in their profile. I think it was the man called Bog that said its just a turn of phrase. If it irritates ppl then I'd probably just say, get over it. The Monday blues are in full swing now so excuse me " Lots of couples actually say "shy at first" and "quiet" etc as they are trying to truthfully describes themselves so people know what to expect. I've seen people say "friendly" but never saw a couple describe themselves as "interesting " That's for others to decide | |||
