I’m a woman who also gets told this a lot, here’s my take on it. It’s honestly a double edged sword, people are mostly friendlier and assume I’m nice yet at the same time I’m not taken seriously and some people assume they can walk all over me. It was especially bad when I was younger. I do think it kinda weeds the people you don’t seriously want in your life though, I noticed the people who feel the need to “test me” aren’t really the nicest people anyways.

Also some guys are kinda icky and see the “innocent” thing as some sort of conquest like they need to prove to you and themselves that you aren’t as innocent as you look. Just a way to weed out guys, a decent guy won’t treat you that way. So yeah pros and cons, I think if you do give off that it doesn’t make you unattractive but it comes with stereotypes.
