User Profile Field default value

I have a need to collect the correct date of birth for our users.  The date field in their profile is set to required but it has a default value of 01/01/1900 instead of a blank field.  If the user does not change this, the system does not flag that the field is not complete and I get a number of users over 100 years old.  What is the use in having a requirement on a field if the user is not forced to change it?

Surely I am missing something here.....
