...but not those

In some profiles there is this pesky word appearing now and then, which I am not quite sure what it means in the context: 'professional'

Does it mean 'middle-class'?

Does it mean 'educated with degree of sort'?

Civil servants? Office/bank staff? Posh?

I am educated intelligent sole trader, making my own living, am I 'professional'?

Anyone care to explain?

Thanks

I've noticed this too, its slightly off putting and it seems to be saying without saying, don't contact us if ur on the dole 🤣🤣🤣

Plus the profiles that insist on discretion. I can't imagine there are too many people shouting from the rooftops that they are on swingers websites 🤷‍♀️

well, I guess they they have professional, real, sex. Not like those pesky amateurs that are everywhere nowadays and don't know what they are doing.

To be honest it's a word lots love using and it's just as stupid as Sydney university and fabbook is now a publicly traded entity.

But yes, there are some people here that use "professional" as any of the ones you pointed out and filter potential meets (ie. "professional looking for the same"). That is their right to do, same as its my right to think that anyone judging and filtering others by nationality, race, profession, education or religion is not someone I want to be associated with.

To me it means someone who has a structured lifestyle such as a full time job, could be a skilled job, financially stable, responsible and basically has their shit together as opposed to someone who thinks they fall into that category and haven’t a pot to piss in. On Fab, it’s thrown in because men and women think it shows them as being trustworthy and respectful and responsible but it ain’t. Just my opinion on it.

A nice rock

Can't say it bothers me.

I really think it says alot more about the person who gets worked up about it than the person who writes it.

Doesn't bother me. People can describe themselves as they wish. If it irks then I know we're not compatible.

These threads - and there have been many - usually provide a platform for people to be mean and cast aspersions on someone because of a single descriptor. It's often often way more off putting than the word professional could ever be

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding:

- it doesn't bother me neither, however I would like to know, what it means in the context

- this thread is not meant to be some attempt on 'havin' a go on someone'

- and I totally agree, that people can describe themselves as they see fit

and

- they can look for whatever/whomever they want

All is cool with me

a village near you.

I think it means professionals don't want to meet unprofessional people.

There could be other choices too.

I prefer to meet dossers.

I only meet langers.

Will only meet very wealthy people.

I'm not sure what"professional" means in our Irish social context, but it's used across fab, in UK, Welsh and Scottish forums. It's also used widely on the French libertine site Libertic.

It's never used in the camping forum, strangely enough. Nobody has ever turned me down here for not being professional enough.

A strange one.

Professionals when I see it on a profile generally means that their job may be at risk if they were outed for being on a site like this.

For example a teacher in a Christian ethos school could lose their job over it.

I don't think it's limited to degree or accredited workers anymore, it could be anyone , IE a plumber whose job within a corporate body, could be put at risk from exposure to I formation of them being on such a site.

Unfortunately ireland has not caught up with the world and people can be prejudiced against swing culture because it's seen as deviant.

I always took it as meaning office based rather than a trade based profession but maybe I’m just old fashioned

Clickbait…..

But to answer your question, Webster dictionary defines a professional as someone engaged in a specific activity, typically a learned profession, as a livelihood. It characterizes, relates to, or conforms to the technical or ethical standards of a profession, often implying great skill, competence, and specialized training.
