"If pros fess up to it they will get kicked off the site."
I think that’s spot on. It’s a pet peeve. Not saying that that in a profile is a dealbreaker, but it seems a bit silly. As do other common terms like gym-fit, like minded and partner in crime. |

Haha some of you are a bit delusional and could say that you're the snobby ones judging people for their preference. Not to have their face plastered all over this site to be recognised in the street.
We both work public jobs in positions that people need not know what we do on our time off.
Some like to make it their lifestyle. Some prefer to be secretive about it and get down and dirty with similar people.
Nothing snobby about not having the same opinion and not wanting picture collectors wank over your face pics.  |

If you think that people who define themselves as professionals are being snobs or up their own arses then you won’t suit each other.
Scroll on.

I think it’s just a describing word, a lot of men use professional, intelligent, intellectual, smart…. I’d personally use forgetful, indecisive or clumsy so don’t write my profile that way, but it’s each to their own how we describe ourselves, that’s what makes us unique  |

We don’t care what people describe themselves as really. ‘Professional’ has neither positive or negative connotations. How they describe themselves - who they come across as via their profile - is far more important. |

I don’t care as I am here to have casual drama free sex with others , not here looking to making new best friends.
I mean people can say they work in any job and you really won’t know if it’s true or not unless you know about that work so I find people banging in about pro guys or discreet that is irrelevant my response is usually that’s nice for you and moving on to more important things  |

It makes me laugh because the definition of professional is “being paid to do a specific activity as your main income” so binman, toilet cleaner are all professions.

Interesting how different people read it. Our take is that they have a career and would probably get sacked if their identities were known for bringing the (company?) into disrepute, hence why they wouldn't have visible face pics on display. But maybe some use the word with a completely different meaning. |

“Professional so must be discreet”….
So they advertise all over their fab they have a job they’d get sacked in haha.
The discreet ones don’t mention their job and saying discreet or professional doesn’t make you discreet haha |

It goes without saying it shouldn’t really impact on your work and how well you do (or are perceived to be doing) your job.
However, I imagine in some jobs (teachers, local MP’s, doctors etc) people would be vilified if they had public pictures etc. along with nudes on here. maybe that’s why they have hidden images and the “professional” comment.
Someone above suggested people are making themselves sound better or more elite etc. and I’ve never read it that way. We all (or most of us) have a profession but I imagine a self-employed bricklayer would be less at risk for accusations of disrepute than your child’s nursery teacher.

It's a buzz word isn't it. Different people use it for their own different reasons. But yeah, I think you're right with that suggestion too. Professional, discreet, genuine are all pretty much meaningless words here. For us, what matters more is how those words are backed up. I mean, discretion is surely implied on a site like this? As is being genuine? They mean as much as going around to people in the real world and saying it.
People can and are gonna use it for their own agenda, that being good or bad. |

The inverted snobbery in these threads is palpable. If you wanted a doctor, or a dentist, or a lawyer, a pilot, a psychiatrist or a teacher you would certainly want a 'professional', ie someone who has been to University, got a degree or two and was a signed up member of a professional organisation. And no, it doesn't mean they think they're better than anyone else, or superior, it simply means that that they have had similar life experiences, and find it easy to relate to people with similar life experiences and interests. So cut the sarcasm and put downs and just realise it means no more and no less than "We enjoy meeting similar people". Not that they won't enjoy meeting others but it's often easier to meet people to whom you relate. |

"Every time I see “professional” I imagine them being actually not.
Same goes for “genuine”.
Genuine is a strange one - they’re not exactly going to say they’re not genuine. "
We use the term genuine because people have questioned in the past our relationship status because we don't live together. Some people thought we were just FB's or were playing away from our partners.
Some people don't want to meet with people who aren't 'genuine couples'.
But this thread has got me questioning whether we need to use the word genuine?

Discretion normally means extra discretion because they have a partner who doesn't know.
I think discretion vis. family, friends and work should be taken for granted. That said, like all things in life there are levels of precaution - some people have genuinely sensitive jobs, and have to be particularly careful.
But it is useful if people write clearly; if they're saying professional to imply they require discretion, say that. Good writing is key. |

"It's probably our biggest pet hate, self proclaimed nonsense!
If it says it just because they have a job then that is completely irrelevant and just comes across across as "I'm better than you"."
Nope, that's how you interpret but not necessarily they mean that way.

It is a term used to refer to those who are admitted to a professional association via examination and or test of professional competence. Once the course of study is complete you are entitled to use designatory letters after your name.
For instance I studied for the College University National Technology qualification. In basic terms it’s a term to separate the educated from the great unwashed. |

Everyone here one way or other are trying to sell themselves Either by txt or pictures or both , So the word professional is used in some cases to enhance there profile , Wanting other people to think of them as competent , reliable & respectful,
We all go about presenting our profiles completely differently, eg I have no txt just pictures if you want to know more ask , It works perfectly for me |

Professional means they are so high up society’s career ladder that they stand to lose everything if they were known to be here. Think a high court judge or a head teacher, top surgeon or Cambridge don. They’re probably all somewhere here among us, nervously, terrified that they’ll be splashed across the tabloids in tomorrows papers! |

I think it's probably overused as a term.
Some will mean they are in a Professional association, others will just be implying that they see themselves as "career people" their shorthand for their perceived position in society.
If it's just some hot sex that they are after, educational attainments, financial wealth, common interests, etc., might be less relevant.
But if they want to socialise as part of their lifestyle I think they're trying to signal who they might want to socialise with. Other people who see themselves as "professional."
Let's be fair, it's nowhere near as annoying as Facebook being a publicly traded entity or any of that bolllocks.
In fact, if it's something that irks you, use it as a filter.

I'm not sure it's completely irrelevant. As I said, it depends on why you want to meet.
If it's just fucking, then fuck away, it doesn't matter.
If it's an erotic dinner party with in depth conversation, followed by fucking, then it might matter.
Where it does really matter is when the person reading it reacts in the way they do, either positively or not.

I've had messages off the following,
Teachers
Ambulance
Builders
Head teachers
Mental health worker
Care worker
Probation officers
Police, in different fields
Binmen
Cleaners
Engineers
Government officials and so on.....
I've never seen them to be of any higher standard due to their individual jobs, it's them as a person I'm intrigued by, someone could have the highest or lowest raking job and still be an asshole, it makes no difference to me, the only way profession comes into play for me is role play.
However each to their own, everyone has a right to their own opinion.
Happy fabbing everyone

I've always viewed "professional" as they're someone employed with a job that puts them in the public light. Whether that be retail, teacher or police. I don't see a problem with it myself, intriguing how others do though.

It’s nothing but letting people know their jobs are at stake if employers were to find out about their sexual preferences and hinder their careers.

Don’t think it has anything to do with low wage. If those who think it’s a bit elitist to put professional in the profile , put down their own professions , you will see the pattern of jobs where discretion is not required. Like the guy who rambled about toilet cleaner up here.
Did you know cleaners get paid more than nurses? Now use your logic to figure out which one is a professional role that requires discretion and likely to encounter judgment at workplace! |

"I think people are forgetting that, for sex everyone is primal but for compatibility a doctor may prefer to meet another doctor .
It's their choice. They aren't seeking to meet you but may be someone else. That's what this site is all about , match making app .
"
Can you imagine how long it would take to try and get two doctors together? Fuck me it's hard enough to see one of them. |

My contacts can either be a king and queen or road sweepers.
As long as they enjoy sensual play, I don't care.
In fact, some of my most sensual experiences were with a housemaid abroad at the end of her working day. She was sweaty and full of natural odours. |

"It's personal preference ,they are looking for educated people in professions such as teacher doctor engineer rather than trades
I don't know why people get so niggled by this"
Plenty of highly educated people don't do those kind of jobs, though. |

all these people saying it's their preference - well of course it is! but this is a forum, a place where people come to discuss these things. no one's talking about banning it.
and the professionals, if they happen to read this, may learn something - e.g. that the term is ambiguous. Some have suggested it means discretion's important. Others that professionals get along with other professionals. Given that ambiguity, they may want to be more precise now. |

They may. Or not. I'm guessing it's their profile so chose to use the words they wanted to. If people take offence or find it a too challenging to comprehend, they may want to skip onto the next profile with different preferences. |

Interesting that no one complains about profiles in which greatly overweight people claim they're 'slim' or 'athletic', or those that claim they're sexy when they're decidedly not, or young when they're at least middle aged, yet those who state they're 'professionals' (when they're probably telling the truth) drives so many people into a frenzy of vitriol and hatred. |

I thought I had an argument to this. And I've typed out a few different things but coming back to the same conclusion before I finished. You're right. The only thing I had was age and body positivity are viewed differently and more sensitively. But even then, it's still their choice like it is for people to consider themselves professional.
Fair point guys, well made. |

I didn't sense vitriol in the discussion - I sensed interest and bemusement. And I'm pretty sure there's been posts about people claiming they're things they're not.
But no time to write more now - professional things to do. |

"Haha some of you are a bit delusional and could say that you're the snobby ones judging people for their preference. Not to have their face plastered all over this site to be recognised in the street.
We both work public jobs in positions that people need not know what we do on our time off.
Some like to make it their lifestyle. Some prefer to be secretive about it and get down and dirty with similar people.
Nothing snobby about not having the same opinion and not wanting picture collectors wank over your face pics. "

"The inverted snobbery in these threads is palpable. If you wanted a doctor, or a dentist, or a lawyer, a pilot, a psychiatrist or a teacher you would certainly want a 'professional', ie someone who has been to University, got a degree or two and was a signed up member of a professional organisation. And no, it doesn't mean they think they're better than anyone else, or superior, it simply means that that they have had similar life experiences, and find it easy to relate to people with similar life experiences and interests. So cut the sarcasm and put downs and just realise it means no more and no less than "We enjoy meeting similar people". Not that they won't enjoy meeting others but it's often easier to meet people to whom you relate."
Totally agree but we often find it difficult to find people who are as dead clever as us and can do really hard sums and write with a real pen and not a shit crayon and earn loads of cash cos we is fuckin brilliant at doing things in our professionally professional jobs like.
We also want to meet people who brush their teeth and bums and don't stink like we do sometimes. |

I think professional decodes as we consider ourselves being in possession of a certain level cultural capital and educational attainment and we seek similar people. Seeing this term in a profile holds no capital with me. |

Using 'professional' in a couple's profile clearly indicates that they want to be taken seriously in their sexual liaisons with other (serious) couples; "we are not fakers or time wasters! Swinging is an important activity to us" |

Just read your profile.
Well, are you the real deal or what, bet you're a hoot during a night out with the chaps.
Out of our league I'm afraid but maybe if we met some of your professional poshness could rub off on us and maybe, just maybe, we could mingle and become social butterflies.
Ah well, can but dream.
Have fun, cheerio. |

You seem to be very angry and have a problem with the word professional as a description?
As for being a hoot with the chaps I think I enjoy the company of friends in various settings.
As for being posh I was brought up on one of the biggest council estates in Europe which hardly qualifies me for such an elevated status.
Having read your profile I think you are being somewhat disingenuous but Fab has a broad spectrum of members one supposes!

Oh this is really just a rerun of the old argument between the proletariat and the bourgoisie!
Basically a war of perceived class division on the basis of education, financial circumstances and elitism.
For the record, Corbyn is bourgois which is why he was unelectable and unacceptable to the real Labour left! Labour needs a real prol in charge! |

Do you actually think it's serious, you don't read into the gentle ribbing.
Honestly, if this upsets you I'm a bit lost for words.
I've apologised to Carl but surely as a pair of grown men you could take this on the chin and not see gentle ribbing as an expression and release of some pent up anger.
Guys please.
