I understand your wariness based on your personal experience. But a "personals" site would be different from being approached out of the blue on a public forum, right?
On the personals site, the women have put up their profile
soliciting advances. Secondly, most personals sites have options for blocking users and reporting harassing users. Thirdly, these sites (Yahoo! personals, Match, Nerve) have a policy of requiring payment to send email; an abusive user would get filtered out quickly.
