Different canned messages needed

Online dating services should have initial email boilerplate messages available. These would be short messages that could outline the desire of the sender. Think of how much time it would save...
1. I'll only talk with you via email but never want to meet.
2. I'll talk until I find a better profile then you'll never hear from me.
3. I'm married/kinky/disfunctional but you won't find out until/unless you meet me.
4. I'm talking with ___ other people and you're ___ on my list.
5. I'm upset with my BF/GF and need you to keep my mind (temporarily) off of them.
6. I lied in my profile and I'm actually shorter/married/still seeing someone/on heavy medication/on parole (check one).
I do believe 85% of the online contacts would neatly fit into one of those categories. Many of them would fit 2 or more.

you forgot...
7. I will be your number stalker. How could you not love me?

How about:
"I don't have any photos of myself anywhere at all in this universe; therefore, I will not be sending you one ever, and you will simply have to be surprised when you meet me."
"If you're not going to put out immediately, I am not interested."
"I am only interested in what you are wearing right now...."
"I don't have a car, and I live 2 hours away from you."

I laughed and giggled at your post! Then I slowed down and actually thought about it and you know what? Honestly, I would rather get responses like you suggested then the crappy ones that leave you wondering. I would rather have a dose of reality and be told the truth like that then be left hanging, wondering, being fooled by someone, or mislead.
Now your post ain't so funny, it's almost a Wish List. :P
That was so funny!
It reminds me of buying a house. The ads say "cozy" and "needs some updating" when they could save a whole lot of time by saying it's tiny and falling apart.
