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

Rarely was so much autobiography packed into two words.

Wowzers! I’m about to create some dating profiles. Currently seeing someone but it’s literally over. I’m looking forward to having a laugh looking at some of them. Wonder if this person has got history with a trumpet?!

I took it to mean no fans of Donald Trump 😶

It's got to be this.

I'm sorry to hear that @Zanatdy as you've seemed so happy about your new relationship and I've enjoyed reading your posts.

Ah thanks. It’s not fully over, he’s being very weird with me and I’m tired of being fobbed off. If nothing else it’s made me realise there’s life in the old dog yet and it would be nice to have a relationship with someone. It’s his loss. I like him a lot, but his kids are very young and we are at different stages in life. Maybe just not meant to be I guess - shame

And I assumed 'trumpeters' were men who sound their own trumpets 🤷🏻‍♀️

Isn’t that all men? 🎺😀

Tratjymp · 29/03/2023 11:00

I've heard of people wanting no strings.

Walterwhiteswifey · 29/03/2023 11:02

The comments on here have tickled me no end! Well done ladies 😁

Tratjymp · 29/03/2023 11:10

I suppose tromboning is out of the question?

Can't say I blame him tbh - those trumpeters are nothing but treble.

Tratjymp · 29/03/2023 11:51

They don't know how to conduct themselves.

Well he can fiddle with himself then as he's so fussy.

barbrahunter · 29/03/2023 14:32

Maybe he's a oboesexual

Ofcourseshecan · 29/03/2023 15:09

Oooh, I’ve found an even punnier thread than ‘Cheesed off about pasta bake’! Settling down for a good read, thanks …

FinallyHere · 29/03/2023 15:13

How kind @SchoolTripDrama

Kevenstinger · 29/03/2023 15:17

I also assumed no farters!

Ofcourseshecan · 29/03/2023 15:23

And thanks, autocorrect, but I meant to type “reed”, not “read”. But no point harping on about it.

Or parping on about it.

ChaliceinWonderland · 29/03/2023 22:04

Omg, immensely cheering!! Trumpeting, why would a man specifically rule out this, maybe he had a bad experience as a child , the mind does truly boggle.

Reluctantly I'm concluding it might well have meant Trump supporters – I seem to remember the person in question was American by background.

I prefer to imagine scenarios involving cohabiting with a Miles Davis tribute act, which left the person kind of blue.
