That means “MBA”: Married but available
The abbreviation “MBA” can have several meanings. On the one hand, it can stand for the university degree “Master of Business Administration”, on the other hand for “Married but available”. The latter is somewhat more common on Tinder and Co. “Married but available” means translated into German “married but available”. So users who use this acronym have a husband or wife but are still open to dating.
As a match, be careful here because you could be dealing with a cheater who isn’t even ashamed of it. But there are also open marriages in which sex with others is agreed and okay.

So “MBA” is mostly used as a profile description in dating apps. If you are in an open marriage yourself, you can use the abbreviation to indicate this and match with people who would be willing to do so. But “MBA” can also be used in chat conversations where you talk about this phenomenon.
This is how the abbreviation “MBA” can be used:
- “Felix, 30, MBA (yes, my wife knows about it ;)). Only ONS.”
- “No offense, but you wrote MBA in your profile. Do you have an open marriage or are you secretly dating?”
