Surprised more people aren't choosing I need more context. It seems like the practical answer. I would love to see a follow-up after 10 weeks.

I picked Not for me, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. My friend tried it in Berlin and had the opposite result.

Not for me got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
