Good morning happy fabbers 
So as per the usual evening plans I was browsing the delights of fab and I kept coming across ‘professional’.
I was just wondering why people write this? Is it to support the need for ‘discretion’ or is it for other reasons?
Always curious to find out
Oh and have a wonderful Friday  |

I’ve always seen it used with the word discretion and take it that their job may be sensitive or within the public sector where swinging would be heavily frowned upon.

I’m a professional. I am part of a regulated profession. Don’t put it on my bloody profile tho.
Maybe people put it on because it makes them seem more educated and more well spoken than the rest of the plebs.

I think you have 2 kinds of "professional" on profiles:
You've got the actual people who lead what they were deem as a "well paying, high flying job"
And you have the people that say they are professional to come across a bit more "stuck up" and generally they are the ones who want chiseled abs (you know the type).
Obviously I'm not a fan oracle so this could be absolute bollocks but just my take on it x |

"I'm not sure, it doesn't bother me though unless that's all that someone's written on their profile, then I'd avoid. "
It’s not something that bothers me… I was just wondering why people put it, I didn’t want to be missing out on a special ‘professional handshake’ kind of thing |

Absolutely this ...yes its on our profile .. it is there so people know not to ask for stuff that would compromise my position. In no way is it to project a superior attitude . But i guess that says more about the readers insecurities than mine . |

Things like camming or video of any kind etc i really would not be able to maintain my job . Dogging etc .
It would be untenable for me. .
It genuinely is nothing but that ..none of this looking down on people rubbish. The people that have met us atest to that. |

In normal circumstances the word professional is applied to those who have attained membership of a professional association such as the Royal Institution of British Architects (RIBA) or one of medical professional bodies for example The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) et al.
Such qualifications are normally achieved once a initial period of training has been completed and further training is undertaken via the specific professional association. Usually once membership of said organisation is achieved members are permitted to use designatory letters after their name.
Nothing sinister nor elitist but no doubt at some point in your life you will need the professional services from such people.
It’s probably a statement vastly overused on Fab that is if you accept the above narrative.
For information I am a professional member of the Collective Undergraduates Notaries and Teachers and allowed to use designatory letters after my name. |

I've been in a bunch of professional association's maybe even double figures.
Does that make me Uber professional?
I may put that on my profile.
Form a queue ladies, I'm uber-professional. |

I bow to your intellect and commitment to professional qualifications. An Uber eats cyclist doesn’t count by the way! |

Double figure professional association status at such a young age is mighty impressive. In fact Uber impressive.
Took me three years post initial training to gain membership of my association. |

I have always believed that "professional" in a job context meant a member of an accredited body, typically with Royal Charter or equivalent.
.
However the word has become so diluted now, it has lost any real import or significance.

"So there's professional c-words
Can we get the consensus on 'Discreet'
We get asked a lot of we're into discreet fun, or discreet guys....
Are they cheaters or just, well... What? 😂"
Discreet means they don't want their business everywhere. Why, there are too many variables. (Discrete means that and they can't spell, haha)
I'd rather not have my business everywhere for a variety of reasons, mostly professional and community ones.
I think the real mystery word is "genuine". |

Majority of times that I have come across it is when it relates to discretion required due to job! However I haven’t read too much into it- thinking about it also may refer to level of the type of meet that people would like too have also |

It's never bothered me - I've never seen it as a dig on anyone else the same way I don't think people who say they're tall as saying 'unlike that short arsed lot' or people who say they're athletic are suggesting 'but the rest are fat old knackers.'
I don't choose to use it but my best guess would be they're trying to convey a level of conversational skills, intelligence etc. - people do use these terms and no one seems to worry so much about that. |

Nobody picked up on my designatory professional status.
Am I too professional? |

"Can we get the consensus on "Discreet" ?"
I think it means there is an implied form of clandestine greeting and if a pass challenge is successfully authenticated, then play can continue in a low-key manner.
.
For example, you might agree to meet on the common at 8.05 pm. You must carry an empty dog lead. You must wait to be approached. The issued question is "Have you lost your dog ?" Your response is, "Yes. Have you seen him?". Their response challenge is "No, but I will help you find him. What is his name?" and your counter-reply is "Fenton."
If all challenges are correctly responded to, then both you and them can return to your vehicles. You all don wigs and dark glasses, and open up a copy of the Times Newspaper. 6 inches down from the top of the newspaper, are two very narrow slits, where you can peer out and through at the other vehicle. You can then watch them, whilst they watch you.
At the end, you roll up your copy of The Times, remove your wig and glasses, and drive off. You leave first, they 5 mins after. If you turn left out of the car park, they must turn right.
Thus successfully concluding a "discreet" meeting. |

"I don’t like the word. We are all professional in certain areas especially of work. For me it’s a bit like one up manship or womanship.
Regardless of job role everyone has a key part to play "
I agree with you |

Could it mean professional within the lifestyle of swinging
Job description were upper class
Job, need discretion due to employment but why advertise if the job is professional level as it goes against privacy. I assumed keeping private lives and swinging separately as that alone would be professional 🙈🤔 |

This topic came up in a discussion I was having with a couple on fab. Both insisted their occupations were professional and their view was that the need for professional indemnity insurance was a good indication of being “professional”.
I thought that was an excellent point? |

Not sure the post was ever about ‘what makes you a professional’ but rather why some write it on their profiles. It seems that those that write it do so to indicate maybe they can not interact with certain activities that might be requested of them, for some. |

I suppose in the interest of reasoned debate the subject matter of a post and the respondents do tend to deviate. I cannot recall a thread that doesn’t at some point go off track a little when trying to make or understand a point in overall discussion?
Even the more, shall we say basic threads such a female ejaculation do tend deviate at some stage of the debate. |

MPs have a public facing job but I can think of 10 off the top of my head I would describe as totally unprofessional! |
