When I see people lifting heavy boxes at 2 am, I'd offer a helping hand. Always have.
Morals and values also encompass "not humiliating" someone in public.
Do you want to come help me crawl 50' back through a 20" crawlspace? It's nice and dark and lots of cobwebs and broken glass and dirt on the floor. LOL..........JK It's a b****! I didn't come up with this username for nothing.

S Today, I sent a very specific text suggesting the evening with specific details on the ending..His response was: wow.
I think it might have something to do with whatever it was you were asking him to do. He might have changed his mind and did not want to be apart of whatever "fun" you were suggesting.
Also, and with all due respect, although I'm sure you are good looking, I think your ego is getting the best of you at this moment because pretty girls do get turned down from time to time.
Perhaps he was expecting you to be with him Christmas Eve, and when you weren't (since you were tired and went to sleep, right?) maybe he thought you were toying with him after disappointing him? Since he is your friend too, I would encourage you to just ask him why he didn't come over to play...
You know I was a stiff-necked nutter in my opinion about people in that line of work.
I happened to meet a stripper in NY and I met her in the church She volunteered for one of my activities. She was so into it and I learned about her line of work long after I saw the human side of her, her religiousness and her commitment to helping others, when ironically she could not help herself a lot. And....... this can appear as the perfect paradox.
It is very much a profession. I've since shifted my stiff-neckedness at those people who create the situation for this kind of job to even exist.
Way off topic.. I gotta disagree with you here, beautiful blue-skinned one. I have no problem with the OP's line of work whatsoever. But it is not a profession. A profession
1: Requires a skill based on theoretical knowledge
2: Requires an extensive period of education (typically at least three years, generally more)
3: Requires institutional training after education (i.e. medical residency, internships, etc)
4: Licenses its practitioners (Law, medicine, nursing, etc)
5: Has a code of ethics
6: Has a self-regulating body (The State boards of Medicine, State Bar Associations)
7: Requires testing of competence with periodic retesting or continuing education
8: Has a professional association
9: Has work autonomy
10: Is committed to public service and altruism
Historically, there were only three "professions": medicine, law, and divinity. In the past century we have recognized other fields as professions including engineering, veterinary medicine, nursing, pharmacy, etc.
Not to rain on anyone's parade... Anyone can and should work hard and conduct themselves in a professional manner. I bartended my way through undergrad in short-shorts and a pushup bra. But this kind of work is not a "profession".
Now as to why he didn't respond... does said FWB have another FWB?

Yellfire, I appreciate your post on the standards for a profession.
If I was a coach in the NFL and had spent 25 years working towards that goal and 10 years in the job I believe I would say I was in a Profession. Am I missing something ?
I think there we're talking about the issue of "professional" vs. "collegiate" or "amateur". I didn't just make these requirements up... there are several more as well. As far as I know, there is no self-regulation among NFL coaches. Perhaps there is testing of competence every Sunday (or tonight as Norv Turner is proving)... NFL coaches are not licensed.
I think it comes down to professional vs. collegiate here. Or professional vs. amateur. In which case, certainly the young lady may call herself a professional unless this is part of a college course for which she is receiving credit OR she is an amateur and is not receiving compensation.

YF I disagree with you. Upscale exotic dancing, despite it's sexual orientation, is a "profession". Exotic dancers are no different than the rest of the professional entertainers in Hollywood except they use sex to hold attention. Mind you, there are various ways to hold human attention.
Regardless, exotic dancers have a VERY powerful skill in which they can charm and seduce the opposite sex and I can assure you many upscale dancers are VERY professional and subscribe to some sort of regulatory agency.
