So, since my readership appear (mainly) to comprise the 35-55 demographic, this is particularly well-suited to you older guys.
You know how you're 40, right? And 40 is the new 30, right? That doesn't mean you get to hit on 23 y/o women like maybe you could do when you were really 30. Sorry, but it's time to start thinking about updating your "cupid" settings.
Also, you know how you're 36, right? And you see some 29 y/o woman who says she's only interested in guys up to age 35, right? Maybe she even filters e-mails from guys older than 35 into her junk folder. Personally, I feel that peremptory norms like that are silly, but it's necessary to draw the line somewhere. (Sort of like voting: you don't magically acquire the maturity and insight needed to responsibly exercise the right to vote the moment you turn 18 years of age.) That said, I think if you really have something to offer, go ahead and write to her anyway, despite what she said about age. Just be sure not to start off like this:
"So, I know you said you only wanted guys 35 and younger, but other than the age thing, I'm everything you're looking for, and please please please just give me a chance."
By doing this you're, firstly, pointing out your negative trait of being "too old", and secondly, resorting to quasi-begging for her attention. And your message is going straight into the bin.
