Yes, when I was meeting, the so-called professionals were anything but professional in how they acted!!

I tended to ignore when I saw that in the profile!!

I think it's meant to insinuate more of a white collar...

...pure nonsense anyway!

I assume it means someone who works in an office environment rather than someone who does manual labour. I don't like the term, sounds a bit snobby

Blue collar are any manual workers including engineers and such

White collar are office based, don't get their hands dirty so collars wouldn't discolour

It's supposed to be someone who is state registered like a nurse or a solicitor. My job requires me to register with the government and I have to be qualified, assessed and monitored to ensure I'm meeting my professional obligations or I'm not even allowed to use my work title. I wouldn't put it on my profile though. It's what I do not what I am

When I read professional, I instantly think it's a class thing. It says to me unskilled and unemployed need not apply. I'm my opinion it's head up your own backside territory. But that's only my interpretation of it.

It's to try and put off certain people and attract others.

Of your a brick layer married to a cleaner you're hardly likely to have much in common with a successful businessman and a high salaried woman with 40 people under her.

Like it or not that's how it is.

Grammar and spelling not required in your high powered jobs?

I'm what's classed as a professional, also high salaried, but I don't rub it people's faces.

You specifically mention bricklayers, knowing what they charge my company they're quite possibly earning as much as you.

A Profession is a job you require special education for.

As to why people mention it, some feel it implies discretion required, some only want to meet those in a similar position and we guess some just think it's impressive. Whether it's any or none of these things is pretty irrelevant as people can and will say wherever they want on their profile.

Wouldn't, however, say someone who is a "professional" and someone who "isn't" aren't likely to have anything in common as your work is only one fraction of your life and doesn't encompass all your interests.

I've been a soldier, a scaffolder and ran my own kitchen/bathroom fitting company. But I still wouldn't consider myself a professional in anyway. I'm sure everyone that works has to have a level of professionalism whilst carrying out whatever job they're doing.. No matter what your job is.

I've always taken it to mean one of two things; either they are in a profession that gives them a certain level of income and want to meet similar people or they're in a profession where being outed as a swinger could have serious consequences for them.

If they can sign your passport photo then they're a professional. A lot of folk who aren't professionals get so upset by this word. Strange

"Can someone please explain to me what this means. I'm reading it as meaning blue collared worker. "

The official definition of a professional is someone qualified to degree level with a registering body who over sees them. I.e teachers have teaching council. Lawyers have the bar association etc funnily enough had to do a 3 thousand word essay on what is a professional and how is profesionalism different from being a professional for uni

I think it's to attract a certain class of person so to speak , however everyone looks at class/proffesioanlism in a different way.

Ahhh so this is the official definition - thank you. I think people put it on their profile to try and infer that they are of a certain "standard" of some kind. This clearly makes no sense as you get nice and horrid people in every section of society. Perhaps they only want to meet with "professional" folk. It clearly does not go down just as well as they might think going from the comments.
