How about: consider your use case first.

You cant just say "dont ask me to verify", despite the good reason you've set out. Verifying your email is critical in some cases.

I run a company called Checkout 51. The end result of someone using our service is that we send them money. Its critical we have the correct email address for a range of reasons such as them trying to recover their password, support communications and simple account notifications (i.e. we've sent your cheque OR your account has been credited)

I would love to not verify peoples email addresses, but in some cases its important to do so in order to provide the best possible user experience.
