On online dating, many profiles give specific lists of qualities that they want a person to have if contacting them. Things like: being religious or not being religious, employed, financially stable, vegetarian/vegan, political leanings, be an artist or musician, love travel, not married or rebounding, etc.
In my opening message, am I supposed to touch upon how I meet all of that person's criteria?
Not to bring up the height thing, as I've noticed it's taboo....I think of all the 5'5" women who demand a guy 6'0" or taller.
Not all. I'd prefer someone in the 5'8" to the 5'10" range.
"You should message me if:" is a bit hard to fill out. I tend to look at that (on OKC) before I read the essays. If there's anything there that I don't meet, then I just move on.

I was just using the height thing as an example, since it's common. What I was trying to get across to the OP was, maybe it's best to leave the ladies alone who thoughtlessly eliminate 86% of the population or more with their "laundry lists," even if you do meet most or all of the criteria.
No. It seems over-eager. I'm all for straightforward, but it's too much for a first email.
You might mention how you meet one or two of those requirements indirectly.
But if they're interested, they'll read your profile and reach their own conclusions.
If someone has some specific criteria (like "I'm looking for partner who is making the world a better place/loves animals/enjoys going to symphonies") that I should briefly add that information into my profile before messaging?
