For starters maybe eH could make most of those questions on the profile page "required fields".

Then if nothing is entered in any single part the system will kick you back to that question until you enter at least a minimum number of say 25 characters.

Much the same as many other things online where if you do not enter a valid zip code for example, then you can not get past that field.

This may help cut down some on all the "blank profiles" that seem to flood this system with out any oversight at all.

I would rather see some questions unanswered than see "You'll have to become my friend first", "I'm shy at first, but...", "I am passionate about living life", and the other Profile Classics.

Agree with Mr. Melman. Quality over quantity.

All the means is that instead of lots of blank profiles, you'll see lots of profiles with "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a"

I'm with Melman on this one, and I just love the term "Profile Classcs". Is that like the guy/gal in Kansas who just loves to walk by the ocean in the moonlight? and lists that as something they like to do a lot?

I would rather see blank spaces, easier to tell who to close lol
