People keep assuming I'm gay when I'm straight?

Anonymous
So I'm a guy in my early 20s, 6'0 and slender. I've had at least 15-20 people in the last year tell me they assumed Im gay (a few have guessed I'm bi but most have assumed gay), using words like "twink" to describe me and so on. It doesn't personally offend me but most women assume I'm not into women and as a straight guy, thats not exactly what you want. When I ask people why they assume I'm gay, they say various things, ranging from its because I'm funny, have "boyish good looks", and that I just give off a gay vibe. How do I counteract this when trying to date?
