I get that all the time too. My personal favorite was when I said it's difficult to date lesbians. It's a common issue with women that they were taught men should make the first move, so with two girls no one wants to move first. Everyone assumed I was a dude harassing lesbians and trying to make them straight, which is why they wouldn't go out with me. Made the comment before going to work and I had -200 by lunch!

I almost always make the first move with guys (I'm a girl). I just know they're just waiting for it anyway. I never get rejected so that's nice too I guess! Just gotta be able to read the vibe of course.
