Given a profinite group G and a family \(\mathcal {F}\) of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, direct products and quotients, denote by \(\mathcal {F}(G)\) the set of elements \(g \in G\) such that \(\{x \in G\ |\ \langle g,x \rangle \ \text{ is } \text{ a } \text{ pro- }\mathcal {F} \text{ group }\}\) has positive Haar measure. We investigate the properties of \(\mathcal {F}(G)\) for various choices of \(\mathcal {F}\) and the influence of \(\mathcal {F}(G)\) on the structure of G when \(\mu (\mathcal F(G))>0\) .
