So then, you see it everywhere, but what exactly is meant by the term "professional"?
Is someone less of a professional if they are a plumber as opposed to a solicitor?
Any views on this? |

In the USA they use 'blue collar' and 'white collar'. A 'professional' is someone who usually has a degree and works in one of the 'professions' such as medicine, accountantcy, banking, education, etc.
Personally I'd rather a good honest 'blue collar' plumber or electrician any day as they probably earn more if my plumber's bills are anything to go by!!!! |

i would agree with birdy but I think these days a lot of people put "professional" if they have a job sounds better than saying"on the wobbly" or on the dole lol |

By definition a "professional" is anything from a brain surgeon to a tradesman and by that probably about 60% of the ppl on fab can call themselves professional (even me) but does putting that n your profile make you more desireable to others? |

Hi,
I use 'professional' - because I'm a bit posh. If you're looking for a rough and ready guy for a fantasy then I wouldn't be the one for you. However I'm pretty adept at meeting for a casual drink and sharing a flirty conversation.
I think it suggests a reasonable standard of living - so you needn't be embarassed if you came back to mine.
On reflection - it is snobby - but it stays. R |

A profession is normally those people who work in a role where they have a governing body.... So doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers.... that sort of thing.
It doesn't necessarily make them any better at what they do... but at least they have someone to set out what they should!  |

I'd say a professional is someone who works in public services, Police, Forces, etc. Seeing professional on a profile would also say to me that hopefully this person can string a sentence together and hopefully hold an intelligent conversation. It's not all about shagging. |

Yep, a 'professional' is someone who has trained in an area eg medicine and has qualifications in it, and is likely to be a member of a society who sort of govern what happens in that profession. However, we all know what they say is the 'oldest profession' in the world...! |

Words have meanings that change, I believe, when I see "professional" that they are "White Collar" workers who perhaps think they have a higher standard of living than others.
It also probably means that they are educated to at least degree level - although this does not necessarily mean they are "more intelligent" than the rest of us......
I like to think I'm professional....in what I do.
I didn't do a degree, I live a comfortable life, but I don't choose or reject friends on what job they have or the size of their house/car/boat etc.

And the reply of _oobs above, I think also answers the question of no face pics on site. Some of us have jobs where if it was discovered what we like to do could get us sacked...and the age old retort of "well they had to come on here so they are as 'bad' as you" is bollocks" anyone can create an email account and be anonymous.....
Sorry - O/T
