Precisely why I asked you folks' opinion redarding its meaning! Being single, I am given to reading the "lonely hearts" adverts, wherein one is bombarded with women writing hackneyed phrases such as "Professional, attractive divorced female, loves dining, dancing, walks on the beach..." So, she's professionally attractive? (A hooker, perhaps) Or professionally divorced? (A gold digger, perchance?) Sounds like the type to avoid, to me! Thanks to all for your insights!
