Don't show view results until selection has been made

When using views exposed filters without the selective hack you can force input required or do the old school "global:null" trick and not show any results until a selection in the exposed filter has been made.

It might seem a bit counterintuitive to the functionality of this module but for what I need it makes perfect sense. I will be implementing this drop down selection in a block with a height restriction and I don't want to return all results in the block as it will make the block (depending on the number of options) very long and push other content down the page.

That said, is there any ability to have the default (when using selective exposed filter) not show all results until a user actually selects the all option? I could also live with just getting rid of the all option and having it default to the first option in the list; i.e. Rather than having the options of "All", "option 1", "option 2" you would just have "option 1", "option 2"

Since there are no other modules available with this selective functionality I really need a solution which utilizes this module. Any suggestions/solutions are appreciated.
