Professional in the context used on this site is a way that people describe themselves in the mistaken belief that it in some way sets them above the rest of us who do not claim to be 'professional'
In actual fact a professional is someone who has completed formal education and training in one or more profession.

I think it's often used as a general cover to what a person does so not to go into detail at the website stage. I use the term because my roles are met with puzzled looks sometimes, lol! |

Don't people use it as code to say they are educated and well mannered? Not saying that's correct, but that's the meaning I take from it.
To be honest you can tell much more from their vocabulary and punctuation. |

To be honest, I stopped messaging women who claimed to be professional in their profiles.
I found them to be the opposite, and like a lot of women on here, not even a "thanks but no thanks"!
Professional? I don't think so!  |

It is supposed to mean they are a qualified member of a profession, e.g. solicitor, doctor.
On here it usually means either "I have a job", "no chavs", "I am better than you" or any combination of the three. |

Yes really. The use of "usually" indicates there are exceptions.
Still are you actually professionals or are you just employed?
Like I said, here professional is often used to mean "I have a job". |

This question has been asked a few times and the general consensus is normally 'no chavs'.
Yes the term 'professional' could be formally interpreted as a banker or accountant but is not the case on fab. I can assure you that we do not expect a Jaguar on the driveway when we say we want to meet like minded professionals!
I don't think wealth is an issue here and if those still are not sure in what context professional is used then they are probably not for us. |

I've had jobs when I left school
I now have a professional job . We both do
Doesn't make us any better than anyone else
It's merely a fact
A bit like blokes advertising they have a big black cock
Or vvvvwe
Or females expressing they will only meet certain types
It's about choice
We choose to tell people on our profile about us
That includes our working status or sexual preferences and our photos
People then can make the choice
If those Chavez don't wanna meet us cos we are professional then that's their right and good luck to them |

I find it somewhat ironic that many people who call themselves 'Professional' can't even spell the word correctly. The term Professional means someone who is skilled in a certain task. A Doctor is a Professional and I suppose a Bricklayer could be regarded as a Professional because he is skilled in laying bricks.
Personally and from experience many people on this site who call themselves Professional are usually not. They just think that by calling themselves Professional will gain them some advantage. As one punter said, the better way to check out a persons intelligence is to check out their spelling and vocabulary.
We one met a guy who called himself Professional but turned out to be a scaffold erector from Carmarthen. If fact he turned out to be an idiot, certainly not Professional and we managed to make a quick escape. |

I've always read professional on here to mean clean and able to string more than two words together.
One or two I've come across on here have sounded like monosyllabic tree swingers  |

Back in the 19th century a lot of sport was divided between amateurs and professionals or gentlemen and players. I wonder if describing yourself as a professional is just another way of saying you are a player?  |

I find its usually an excuse for not having a face pic on profile. I have said in the past that they could have one on their private pics and send when necessary. It's not rocket science is it? Geeez some people |

It is used like any other adjective in a profile. To describe what a person is like.
It is on ours. One of us works for the government and the other has 2 degrees and is a member of a registered body so as far as I'm concerned it is a valid comment.
As threads like this proove, it is a very effective, if unintentional filter. Inverted snobbery is not a pleasant characteristic. |

Most people don't understand that it can be used as an adjective or a noun. If you say he/she's a professional (musician, footballer, bricklayer etc), it is being used as an adjective, meaning he/she earns their living from it, as opposed to being an amateur.
When used as a noun, as he/she's a professional, it means he/she is a member of a learned (pr lur ned) profession such as medecine, law, engineering etc.
As such it implies at least a degree with further post graduate professional qualifications.
It makes no statement about income level, or level of self importance.
Those who have a pop at people who use the term, usually don't know what the term means, or understand the context it is being used in.
It is a somewhat over and misused term, but we don't expect everyone who uses it does so in strict compliance with its definition. You can tell a lot from how a profile is written.
We don't expect our play partners to be graduates, though we do like to be able to converse on a similar level.
We do absolutely reserve the right to choose whom we play with. |

it is a term that someone has used to describe themselves to try and narrow the search to find like minded people but it usually scorned at by a few....
as we know, some people will dissect every inch of a profile to find something to snipe at.

Interesting that you equate professional with class and have also implied earlier in the thread that people using it are snobs.
The negative, and dare I say it, bitter reaction to the term really does say more about those who object to it than those who use it. |

I used the word class instead of Inverted Snobbery and i dont think i have implied that anyone is a Snob,I was simply attempting to gain peoples thoughts on the Term |

The topic of this thread is a common question asked here.
If you don't like profiles with the term professional then move on or block them.
I don't think in any of the previous threads has a person made an admission that they will only have sex with somebody dependant on salary, tax code, education or wealth. I therefore see no reason why people have a problem with the term 'professional'?
I therefore state again that the term professional is used to by most (not all) to filter out chavs. Now Chavs are not necessarily poor (although the original term refers to council housing). These days the term chavs normally relates to yuppy behaviour and there are plenty of rich chavs who are even educated!
I don't believe in a class system and am proud that my some of my close friends have senior positions and some are manual labourers. All are very good people but would not swing with any of them because they are - close friends. Does anybody want to start a thread moaning about why people don't swing with friends?!
I see nothing offensive about the term professional and those who do are showing themselves to be exactly the type we want to avoid. If somebody says minimum salary of £50k or minimum of 6 GCSEs then they may have a point.... |

I work in a professional job. Don't earn huge amounts but am quite comfortable. I am well educated as a necessary part of my job. I do not think it makes me any better than anyone else. I meet who I like and am not especially interested in their cv. That said there are people I have turned down as I've felt I couldn't really engage in any form of communication which I found interesting. Does that make me a snob or 'up myself'? Don't know and don't care. I like what I like and won't change how I meet people simply based on how others think I should conduct myself. |

Yes but has morphed into something else where people are having a winge for no valid reason. Great insight into human mentality though... |
