Maybe I should change my headline to:
I do not have an Electra Complex! The first line of the profile could be... I am not looking for daddy, if you are looking for a little girl, I am not her...
My Username could be "NotElectra"

You sound like you've beenhanging out with LG!!! :)
One thing I did when the daddies without the prefix SUGAR- were contacting me more than I cared for was to include a line in my profile addressing the problem as nicely as I could. Although my age range (which was already 10 years above my age!!) was stated in my profile facts, I found I had to add something like this (I can't remember the exact words)....
"I would like to find a kind but insistent way to ask that if you are out of my age range to PLEASE not contact me. I am not flexible enough to consider talking with or meeting someone more than ten years older than I am."
I think I had something in there about apologized about stepping on anyones toes or whatever. You can word it however you want. It didn't completely eliminate the problem but it definitely cut down on things for me. I placed in near the end of my profile so it wsn't as if right up front I was being all negative.
Good luck! It seems to be a hazard of OLD, but heck...it provided me with quite a few chuckles at some of these guys who were closer to my dad's age than mine! OY!
I honestly don't see what the big deal is about people outside of the range -- just delete. I do that all them time. I do that now for people without kids too.
I swear I'm going to start using the RTFP acronym for some of these people. I think they're on Fantasy Island or inhaling Helium when they browse profiles...

You assume they are actually capable of READING.
I dunno 'bout the gurlz, but the boiz who rite me I sumtimes wundr aboot.
I even use the words "pragmatic", "minutiae" and "discretionary" in my profile to weed them out. HA!!! It's just more enticing, I've come to believe.
But I agree about just deleting the old guys..

I know women are very visually oriented.
So, lemme through this out:
let's say Adrian Paul contacts you, he's 46,
you are 32. You said sorry, I have a 10 year limit.
Would you go out with him?
