My last two posts on this topic can be found here:
Bottled Up for a Week - Intro and Sending
Bottled Up for a Week - Receiving
So you can live through what I lived there, below is a list of all the messages I recorded, as well as my comments on why I accepted or rejected them. As I knew I'd be uninstalling the app, on the last day (days are separated by black lines), I recorded whether I would have accepted or rejected them, but rejected them all so someone else could get them.
I mentioned in my last post what worked, and here's a small summary of what didn't work (for me, personally):
- short, "nothing" messages, like, "Hi", or just emojis, without something captivating in their bio
- quotes / song lyrics, without any explanation for why they chose to put that in their message
- messages that sounded desperate / overly clingy, e.g.
- Friends means life .........can u be my life :) :)
- I love you so much (heart emoji)
- Hey I would love to yours till you disown me ! and Then !!! I would still be yours till I disown myself ! And then !!! I am yours forever
- messages telling me that I'm beautiful / amazing, which they can't possibly know, because we haven't met yet
The above picture is a word cloud of all the messages I received.
Below is a word cloud of all of my responses.
I couldn't find a nice way to format all the messages, so I'll just link to a Google sheets spreadsheet instead:

Just as a reminder, before you criticise my decisions and say you would have accepted people I rejected, this is my own personal preference for the kind of people I enjoy talking to.
