That they are paid for a job of work in a Professional Sphere of life. (Usually a Profession that requires a Formal Qualification.)

Of course they are referring to their job/career.

Maybe they think people will read it and think they’re polite, well mannered etc. Qualities which are not necessarily exclusive to professionals but I guess if someone is used to that “office-type” terminology then saying “oh they’re quite professional” at work would mean someone is polite, well mannered, not likely to be rude despite a disagreement etc.

Sometimes people say it to highlight their need for discretion.

I find it slightly pretentious but not as pretentious as people saying they’re “classy”

Always makes me wonder if they think they’re some kind of aristocrat

A nicer way of putting middle class.

Not necessarily looking down on others, but if meeting for a social it may well be somewhere quite nice where others may feel uncomfortable.

The inverted snobbery that this topic always brings never fails to amaze me. If you go to a lawyer, a doctor, a dentist, or your children have a teacher you'd pray to god that they're professional, and you wouldn't question their use of the label. It simply means they have trained to a high level (usually degree or PhD) to carry out a job that someone without that training couldn't do. If you object to meeting or playing with such professionals then just move on to another profile - don't waste your time criticizing theirs.

I agree. It’s not a problem for people to seek others similar to themselves. Yet some people like to make a problem. No one has to meet anyone they don’t want to.

We have it on our profile because we think it describes our "normal lives" in much the way described above. We don't intend to come across as rude, haughty or anything else at all. We perhaps feel that the description gets over what others might find when conversing with us. We have no "requirements" relating to the education or profession (or lack thereof) of people that we meet, but we would like to be able to hold a decent conversation and we do enjoy going for socials or pre meet drinks at venues that might not be places where absolutely everyone would want to go or feel comfortable. Again, no judgement intended at all, because we have met people from all walks of life who we get on with and hope to continue meeting lots of interesting and intelligent people. Intelligence does not require any letters after one's name, we are well aware.

As mentioned earlier. It’s not a reflection on anyone or looking down upon anyone. It’s just some people may not be comfortable in a social environment with them. It’s no good for anyone. We met someone in our local restaurant and they were very uncomfortable with it. It wasn’t them, and through that we could see nothing was going to happen. It’s all about making everyone happy.

If they claim to be professional it suggests the ability to deal with any situation that comes along. But that's probably not the best way to go about engaging in sexual adventures.

Entirely agree, and I believe this is not just restricted to this example, but any example where one feels the need to take issue with or complain about an aspect or the content of another’s profile, where they are neither required, forced or expected to interact with that profile, and where it doesn’t contravene the terms and conditions of the site.

Someone trying to sound better than others or worrying that if caught on here they’ll loose their jobs.

It’s normally the people in the office that have a full alphabet after their names in their works email signature block, but half of them are linked to membership of different chartered institutes. Guess what, half the guys I work with in the military have them and most don’t even have 2 GCSE’s to rub together guys (myself included)!

To me "professional" means more than just your career. It's how you behave, talk, carry yourself, treat other people etc. I don't comment on others, like a lot of folk on fab seem to like doing. It's a good way of finding a match.

The issue is with debates likes these, it that it’s a case by case situation.

For example:

Professionals:

- Some people will say they’re professional and think that makes them better than others. Them people are nobs.

- Some people will say they’re professional and just mean that they (as mentioned above) maybe looking for “articulate, non pushy, fancy places to visit” people. And don’t judge others regardless of their professionalism.

I am acknowledging, and have acknowledged previously, that these characteristics are not exclusive to “professionals” but I guess it is a short cut for people who want to use that term.

Similarly Non professionals:

- Some non professionals will have a chip on their shoulder for a variety of reasons and therefore go on about professionals and how they’re up their own arse. Them people are nobs.

- Some non professionals will see the point made by others about what the terms means to them, and then be unbothered by it while continuing to not judge anyone based on the terms they use

These threads irk me because no one sticks to debating one point

Very true. I’ve noticed on here that it reflects a lot more on the people that are offended by it, than those that use it.

We use the term professional and those offended by it are not the type of people we would meet. So it seems to work perfectly.

Saw right.

I think folk are protective of their own partner and the relationship. The loss of anonymity and an intrusion into the intimacy can seem more than some folk wish for. So I think in some cases the prof. Term Is used as a distancing measure.

Very true. I’ve noticed on here that it reflects a lot more on the people that are offended by it, than those that use it.

We use the term professional and those offended by it are not the type of people we would meet. So it seems to work perfectly.

Absolutely- after the comments about it, we’re considering using it in our profile now just to filter out those with inferiority complex’s "

Interesting but they could use it to filter out people with overblown ego's, just a thought.

"All you need is a big house flash German car and a Armani suite and bang you’re a professional

So are these people in the wrong?

no but doesn’t make them professional either

How should they describe themselves then? And how to say that they seek similar?

they can describe themselves exactly how they want but what is a professional?

The issue is with debates likes these, it that it’s a case by case situation.

For example:

Professionals:

- Some people will say they’re professional and think that makes them better than others. Them people are nobs.

- Some people will say they’re professional and just mean that they (as mentioned above) maybe looking for “articulate, non pushy, fancy places to visit” people. And don’t judge others regardless of their professionalism.

I am acknowledging, and have acknowledged previously, that these characteristics are not exclusive to “professionals” but I guess it is a short cut for people who want to use that term.

Similarly Non professionals:

- Some non professionals will have a chip on their shoulder for a variety of reasons and therefore go on about professionals and how they’re up their own arse. Them people are nobs.

- Some non professionals will see the point made by others about what the terms means to them, and then be unbothered by it while continuing to not judge anyone based on the terms they use

These threads irk me because no one sticks to debating one point

I’m a professional btw

Your thought is still based upon the readers perception, not the writers. Therefore the psychology of it is all on the reader which whichever way you look at it is their complex, not the writers

Maybe OP just ask the person. From reading all of this thread. Many people feel differently about it.

I’m not sure that anyone actually fits into a category like that. As I work in a professional Job, I have an education at degree level, I wear Nike airmax but normally jeans not trackies! I also live on a “council estate” in a very nice area but not in a council house. I don’t drive a Capri What does that make me?!

I never suggested otherwise.
