This is my point exactly. Why put up the age range when age doesn't matter to you, but attraction does? The woman immediately won't engage or dismisses you because she sees that she's not in your preferred range. She doesn't want to waste time.
but a person can be flexible when it comes to age if they are attracted.
I do get this preference thing and people are more than welcome to state it, but really, why would they who state the preference, contact someone outside of the preference?

I'm 5'5", btw, and was contacted by said guy who is 5'9" and who stated his preference is for women under 5'4".
His answer when I questioned him about it was that he wears dress shoes (with a one inch heel) all the time and so we are still a good fit. I just shake my head...
That's interesting, because most of what I see is 5'3" women wanting 6'+ guys because they wear 6" heels. Maybe he's seen that as well and just threw in the towel.

maybe but I'm not sure. Then this person should only be contacting women in his preferred range.
But when a person sees that they are outside the range, like me, they won't bother to respond, it's really a waste of time and I have other people who are interested in me. These people are closing the door when really they should keep their options open and not specify a preference or a requirement.
It takes a special man to go for ridiculously tall women. Many/most excessively tall men don't even go for six footer PLUS women.
Not true, I'm 6'3 and I would love to date a woman that is taller then me. Or even shorter then me because size/age shouldn't be the issue when love is all that counts. Plus, I dated a woman that was 3 foot and people were judging us and we didn't care. She committed suicide fourteen years ago and I am still shaken up over it. People need to "Don't judge and just love" which is one of my poems.

1" inch?!? You questioned the dude on 1"?
Who the heck pulls out rulers or tape measures on a date? Do you really think your being 1" inch taller than his "preference" would be all that obvious?
I'm glad my husband ignored my "preferences" and was persistent.

I certainly don't care about the 1", actually I have dated guys shorter than my 5'5"... he's the one who cares as he's the one who states a preference yet contacts me... and unlike your lucky husband, he's not persistent.
And I did see later that he removed his preference.

You don't seem to understand the definition of preference. As others here have stated, preference is not the same as a requirement.
The Importerswife is correct. For example, I preferred a man slightly taller but he is shorter and it doesn't bother. It's not a requirement like a few things, such as he had to be childless or be religious.
