Margaret Qualley Vows to Only Date Men Who Don’t Carry Clarinet Cases

The actress is reportedly pivoting her entire romantic strategy toward guys who have never even heard of a synth-pop bridge.

A caricature of the actress as she sets her sights on the future for the story Margaret Qualley Vows to Only Date Men Who Don’t Carry Clarinet Cases.
Margaret Qualley is officially trading in the indie-rock vibes for literally anything else. After parting ways with Jack Antonoff, she’s reportedly 'looking ahead,' which is celebrity-speak for 'I am currently deleting every playlist featuring a reverb-heavy saxophone solo.' Word on the street is that Margaret’s next project, 'Possession,' is her top priority, mostly because movie sets are traditionally free of guys wearing thick-rimmed glasses and talking about the 'texture' of a 1980s Roland keyboard. She’s ready for a fresh start where she doesn't have to pretend to understand the nuances of a B-side track recorded in a basement in New Jersey. Friends say the goal now is absolute silence. No more Taylor Swift production anecdotes at 3:00 AM. No more hunting for vintage analog cables. Margaret is looking for a man who thinks 'Bleachers' are just a place people sit to watch sports they don't understand. She’s moving on, moving up, and presumably moving away from any zip code that smells like vinyl record cleaner.
