It means just what it says, they're a professional couple. Probably working as teachers, lawyers or just white collar.

It doesn't mean anything else although people get very cross about it and think it does.

It means their status is important to them.

Whether others perceive their status in the same way they do . . . who knows.

At a guess, their match will be people whose status is also important to them.

I always assumed that it meant they were in a job where if it got out about their ‘lifestyle’ , they could loose it through pressure or potential Black mail . So we’re thinking teachers and such .

What is strange is that you don’t see people creating posts on ‘attractive’ people with a ‘how dare they’ or ‘who do they think they are?’ type comments. However many people have a real issue with the term professional.

People are just trying to describe themselves and their lifestyle/preferences as much as possible. You’re right that some people will hate profiles using the term attractive or the term professional but professional gets a lot more people upset.

It's just another adjective. We use the term on our profile, and we make no apology.

If someone thinks that means we're interested in status, well - they're wrong.

We use the term in the same way that others might use tall, toned, gym-fit, or curvy. I really don't see the issue.

If we described ourselves as 'working-class' would anybody care?

To avoid 'offending' or 'irritating' people, perhaps we should rewrite it to read:

'upper lower middle working class, but not landed or titled'

On fab it is not ok to be anything but self deprecating. If you describe yourself as slim, hot, wealthy, professional, talented etc you will be shot down. However say you're useless and unattractive and you'll be feted.

We must all be modest while getting our bits out on the internet otherwise we are "attention seeking"

Google dictionary suggests ‘white collar, executive, non-manual’ as one definition.

That’s what we think they mean. It’s not that they have a job but that they have perhaps a white collar job and want to meet similar type people.

A doctor would generally have more in commmon with a lawyer than with someone who worked in a warehouse for example . One is no better than the other but professionals will have more in common with other professionals.

They’re just trying to meet similar people in the same way that gym fit people will have more in common and probably want to meet other gym fit people.

Near Okehampton.

To be a professional, you need to belong to a regulating body and to have achieved specific qualifications to become a member.

For instance a Doctor would be a professional but a general cleaner ( without any qualifications) in the same hospital wouldn’t be ..

Some actually believe if they have a job and they get paid at the end of the month they are professional.

Just like lots like to call themselves Engineers, but have no formal Engineering qualifications

Possibly all about one upmanship

The word has come to mean more than that though. We have professional musicians, athletes, footballers everyone understands that its termed that way to differentiate them from amateurs.

It's not a new word, it's been always there and widely used outside Fab too.

When we talk about our relatives, friends, we do use this word professional if they are well educated, have a nice job, have good standards of living and articulate.

So if anyone mentions here being professional then you can expect few things from them as standard.

It's not about one up manship or anything.

Nothing to demean others. It is just about expecting some class in meets.

Hope that helps

No. Just have sensitive jobs in the public sector which could be compromised by bringing the profession into disrepute proved at the very least by tribunal. You don't need to be working for CI5, MI5, etc., etc.,.

Interestingly we are beginning to have the same feelings as many of the those expressed above, but in our case directed towards people who are so upset about the word 'professional'. Perhaps they don't realise that inverted snobbery is just as unpleasant and irritating as snobbery itself.

We use the term in the same way that others might use tall, toned, gym-fit, or curvy. I really don't see the issue.

But there is a difference. Terms like the ones you describe above paint a physical picture of a person. In the context of meeting somebody for sex, this could be very relevant.

Your profession is most likely irrelevant! As is your social status, or net worth. When you’re naked you shed more than just clothes.

I personally dislike the term used on a profile. Self- described “attractive” people also strikes the wrong note with me. It is after all a subjective term, and in my opinion for others to declare, not the individual. But getting back to the term “professional” it can imply an air of arrogance to those who use them on their profile and, I’m guessing a lot of cases, incorrectly applied.

I appreciate your view on this, and I understand the distinction you've made between my examples being physical traits, as opposed to 'professional' not being a physical trait.

However, I still don't see the issue. Our profile is exactly that. Our profile. It's purpose is to describe us.

Further, the correct use of 'professional' is not subjective. It's entirely objective.

If someone chooses to read that arrogant, implicit or otherwise, then so be it. It's a shame, but again, we make no apology. We ARE professionals. We do maintain our membership to the professional bodies to which we are attached. It's a fact.

Some might say that we shouldn't use it on our profile because it's not relevant on a swinging site - and if that's their view - fair enough. It acts as filter of sorts.

There are far more worrying things happening on this site than the perceived arrogance of professionals. Some profiles actively seek out certain types of professionals - 'uniforms', 'military' etc - but nobody seems to give a fuck, and rightly so.

It's all about perspective.

People are generally attracted to people with a similar lifestyle, social status and education level. For every doctor who is in a relationship with a labourer there will be 10 or 100 who are in a relationship with another doctor or a lawyer or other profession. It’s just life and our nature.

Those saying it doesn’t matter on a swinging site forget it not just about fucking it’s about having some attraction and comfort in the person(s) you’re meeting.

Professional people advertise as professional to attract similar people.

If you don’t like them block and move on.

Think generally those that get annoyed by the professional moniker on profiles is when it’s also plain that the profiler has somewhat of an ego, with attractive couple, we are picky etc etc also in the text.

Clues on profiles do give away if someone is in terms of employment status, really a professional couple, pictures are a giveaway too, nice house, newish car (not a tiny house or 10 year old Toyota)

So what in fab terms is a professional couple? Not a clue, but one of us was educated at Cambridge university (when degrees mattered) and one of us left school at 16. Does that make us semi professionals?

I’m sure you are professional in your work in the sense you are conscientious but you aren’t in a ‘professional’ occupation. Someone in a professional occupation could with some instruction from yourself do your job but in order for you to do his/her job you would first need to pass about 8 GCSE,s with good grades, 3 A levels with good grades , do 3 years minimum at University and get a degree of 2.1 level or above then work in that chosen field until you achieve the relevant accreditation eg Chartered accountant / PGCE (teacher) etc then you can call yourself a ‘professional’.

Thank you for continuing the discussion in a civil manner. Nice to see it’s still possible in the brexshit atmosphere!

Further, the correct use of 'professional' is not subjective. It's entirely objective.

Yes, it absolutely is! It’s clearly defined. My use of “subjective” related to the use of the word “attractive”. That is purely subjective.

We ARE professionals. We do maintain our membership to the professional bodies to which we are attached. It's a fact.

Some might say that we shouldn't use it on our profile because it's not relevant on a swinging site - and if that's their view - fair enough. It acts as filter of sorts.

For me personally, it isn’t relevant. How I would connect sexually with someone doesn’t depend on their profession or status, but their outlook, attitude and personality. Oh, and while it’s not the be all and end all, having physical features that float my boat goes some way towards that.

By itself using the phrase “professional” on a profile wouldn’t automatically put me off, if the remaining text continued with an air of superiority or arrogance then I’m out.

I think that's what a lot of us who can see no problem with people describing thenmselves as professional are saying. It's about the whole profile. You simply can't infer a whole personality from one word neither can you infer that persons attitude toward other people. Interestingly the reaction to the word can often give away clues to other people's character traits and attitudes.

There's an underlying inverted snobbery that runs through interactions on here that people accept as natural and normal. If I started a thread criticising the use of "working class" or "manual worker" on a profile and made sweeping statements about their character and attitude I'd be hung out to dry.

Nobody is demeaning others, they are merely describing themselves.

Take it or leave it.

Obnoxious comments can only create unnecessary divide.
