I disagree, I think personalizing "form letters" is a great way to correspond with many ladies at one time. But you have to make it so that it is somewhat personalized for every lady. I will generally take 3-5 minutes for each contact to add some individualized information, although the letter works for itself with no personalization.
How bout I show an example. I'll show an ad, and then my "letter" with the personalizations in bold. That way you can see how it's personalized.
Here's the ad:

And in case you couldn't get the profile, here is the text.
I consider myslef to be sweet, attractive, sincere, kindhearted, compassionate, and openminded. I love animals and hope to find someone who is at least fond of them. It is at most times the simple things in life that bring a smile to my face. I have not traveled much, but hope to do so in the future.
I would like to meet someone with a huge heart and a good sense of humor. Someone you can be silly yet serious when needed.
And here is my "form letter"
Top Ten Reasons you shouldn’t email me back.
1. If you don’t like to laugh, then you definitely should not email me. I have a tendency to try to have fun in every situation, not good if you’re trying to maintain a healthy depression.
You say you want someone with a good sense of humor, just want to make sure. Although if you're smiling while you read this, I might be offended by you thinking I'm one of the simpler things in life.
2. If you don’t like people who like to do things other than watch TV every night for six hours, then you definitely should not email me. I love to travel, experience new things, and be with fun and interesting people.
Where do you plan on traveling in the future?
3. If you don’t like people with class, then you definitely should not email me. I am not especially known for any abilities like burping the alphabet, or picking my nose as an appetizer. Sorry.
4. If you don’t like people with IQ’s over 50 whose brains aren’t fixated on one thing, and one thing only, then you definitely should not email me. I’m pushing at least 53 and a half, maybe 60 on a good day (must be the blond highlights).
5. If you don’t like people who are self confident, and like themselves, then you definitely should not email me. There’s a difference between ****y/arrogant and self-assured, hopefully I have the right balance.
6. If you don’t like people who aren’t all the way grown up yet, who are just as likely to have fun jumping in the ball pit at McDonald’s as to putting on a suit to go to the Opera, then you shouldn’t email me. I’m a kid magnet who has yet to graduate from the kids table at Thanksgiving.
7. If you don’t like people who are friendly and easy to get along with, who can hold an interesting conversation for more than 10 seconds, but prefer those who have the social skills of a tadpole, then you definitely should not email me.
8 . If you don’t like people who don’t tell you in their first email how beautiful and special you are, and why they are perfect to father the 15 babies you want, then you definitely should not email me. Also not planning on giving you a resume about all the money I make, the wonderful job I have, how much I can bench press, and the great car I drive.
9. If you don’t like people who are actually mentally and emotionally stable, are not looking for a "friend" on the side. Have no intentions of stalking you, sending you 15 emails a day, or sending you flowers at work until you say yes to a date, then you definitely should not email me. I’m just a little sarcastic around the edges.
10. If you don’t like people who go the extra mile to make you smile, but prefer people who say ten, mean ten but deliver four, then you definitely should not email me.
Who knows about this internet thing. I just saw your profile, thought you would be an interesting person to get to know better.
I think we all are ultimately looking for someone with a good heart, and the ability to laugh. Obviously I hope you email me back, but if not go forward with a smile
(although I am anything but simple) and enjoy your day. Of course if you do email me back, you’ll get extra bonus points if you can come up with a top ten list of your own.
Talk to you soon.
