I've been playing on Feathermoon since February, and in all her 54 levels, Davien has only been hit on once, by a kid who was 15 and was quickly shut down. Actually, more often than not, people assume a male player behind my little mage. I've had people say "Thanks, bro" or the like in party chat. Sometimes I correct them, sometimes I don't. Depends on whether or not I think I'll group with them again, or whether or not I think it will change their playing.
*shrugs* Maybe it's the guild tabard. Noxilite is pretty well-respected for a small-ish guild. But I didn't join until I was around level 24, and didn't have any creepy people approach me before that.
Then, last week, I was waiting for a zeppelin back to Durotar as my little troll mage alt (level 10-ish at the time) and got a/s/l'ed for the first time ever. The player was around the same level, and named...McFlyy. Yeah, *he* belongs on an RP server...
I think it sort of falls off after the 20s, at least on the RP servers. If you stick with a character that long, chances are you're actually serious about playing (with notable exceptions). And as your character grows up, he/she meets more people who are serious about playing the game and not out for hawt cyb0r.
(I should note that I also don't remember poor, neglected Threnn getting hit on either, but it's Stormrage - most of the Lurkers live there; you don't need me to tell you how it is. :) )
