Spotted in an online dating profile this afternoon: 'No trumpeters'.

Rarely was so much autobiography packed into two words.

Sounds like his last relationship ended on a bad note.

AutisticLegoLover · 28/03/2023 18:57

No blowers will be great for some.

Hopelesslydevotedtoshrews · 28/03/2023 18:58

So bagpipers are still in with a chance?!

Hawkins00 · 28/03/2023 19:01

This one time at band camp

PotteringPondering · 28/03/2023 19:07

But open to casual sax, perhaps.

Yeah, unless they blow it.

ItsBeginningToScabOverNow · 28/03/2023 19:08

I took it to mean no fans of Donald Trump 😶

Belchers ok?

Brings a whole new meaning to blowing a new tune

RoundLikeaCircle · 28/03/2023 19:25

Perhaps he’s got the horn instead..

This is one of those threads that massively exceeds expectations, once you start reading the replies.

PurpleFeather · 28/03/2023 19:28

This is so funny😂 I’ve just started online dating, haven’t had any dates yet but I’ve cried with laughter at some of the profiles😂😂😂

This.

First laugh out loud moment of a very sad day.

ReneBumsWombats · 28/03/2023 19:49

He's still hoping to score, though. Maybe he'll meet someone who'll make him quaver and then he won't be so crotchety.

bert3400 · 28/03/2023 19:51

When I read it I thought it meant no Trump supporters ....I'll get my coat 🫣

BCBird · 28/03/2023 20:12

What does no trumpeters mean? Will need to know for when I eventually go back online

Ha ha, it's not some sort of euphemism. It was somebody saying in all seriousness that their one non-negotiable is that they can't date somebody who plays the trumpet.

Hence me commenting that there's clearly a whole lot of back-story in those two words.

RoundLikeaCircle · 28/03/2023 21:04

I assumed trumpeting = farting (with aplomb)💨💨💨

JoanThursday1972 · 28/03/2023 21:08

I won't bother. I'm sure I'd be totally brassed off after the first date. 🎺

Onmycase · 28/03/2023 22:30

Maybe he's a one man band.

PatientZorro · 28/03/2023 22:34

He’s got some brass

BertaHoon · 28/03/2023 22:37

I assumed farting and ruled myself out!

Damnloginpopup · 29/03/2023 01:20

Clever. It's an opener for a message and a test to see if you've bothered reading his profile...

I didn't like giraffes'. Randomly.
