I would probably close you too. Your profile looks like that of someone who signed up for free but never paid. Please take a look at some of the other recent Profile Reviews for examples of complete profiles, and for ideas on how to improve them.

Be more specific:

You're looking for a sense of humor -- What kind? What kind do you have? What makes you laugh?

Same for the influential person. No offense, but your answer is a cop-out. Anyone could answer that question the same way. Try to answer it in a way that gives the reader a little insight into you.

In a couple places, you make reference to your sense of humor...but where is it? Let it shine through!!! In other words, don't tell me you're funny, be funny.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

You and every other average Jane on the planet is passionate about living life to the fullest or getting the most out of life or being all that they can be or some such cliche as that. You either need to pick something truly unique that will make you stand out and seem interesting, or you need to state this passion in a much more memorable way.

I don't know, this makes you sound a little antisocial. Sometimes quality time as a couple = spending it with other groups of people? I don't think I'd mention commitment either. Maybe talk about the kinds of things you'd like to do with a partner?

Nah this is not specific enough. It sounds like you couldn't think of anyone and just put some empty platitudes here. Pick one person, even if they weren't The Most Influential, and tell us how they influenced you. This helps reveal something about you and relationships and it can make you seem quite attractive if handled right.

no dealbreakers but it's not very memorable. Try and think of something a little more colorful?

Using humour to make friends laugh
Maintaining an organized life
Finding pleasure and contentment in simple things

If you're really these things someone would notice. This needs to not be a character trait so much as just an attractive and memorable thing that people can't notice right away. Otherwise it just makes it sound like you aren't really those things. I put for mine that there's a science geek lurking beneath the head of curly hair and goofy grin.

The things Maureen can't live without are:

dark chocolate! mmm
sunshine
vacations
family
friends
seems OK, maybe not too memorable either but no dealbreakers

What you have is worse than nothing at all. It displays attitude and a lack of willingness to work through the process. Make the question work for you. Rewrite it in your mind to be one attractive thing that will make people want to communicate with you.

no dealbreakers, but it's not too illuminating. It looks like you put little thought into this.

Overall it seems like you wrote the first thing off the top of our head. I would sit down and really think about what makes you memorable and a one-of-a-kind girl. Use some of those things to spice and spunk this up a bit.

Good luck.
