if you want to know if someone is straight the only way to find out is to ask them.... man or woman.. you can't tell by looking..
but then the question needs to be asked. Why does it matter?

Well there is no real way of telling besides the fact that if a man takes with a high-pitched voice and wears downe clothing and walks femanine then he is sterotypically labeled as being gay. But of course 80% of the time you cannnn prove that they are if you were to ask them. But have you ever considered that this very man may just have a good posture, a good sense of style, and just obviously has a high-pitched voice? Try some psycological theories such as their eye contact, whetehr or not they are "checking you out", if you doo infact talk to them, study the way they approach you with words ( "hitting on you"). But then maybe they are also comfortable with their sexuality? Ok.. I'm a male, and i'm straight. I've given friends of mine kisses on the cheek lol ( as a joke) and i've hugged them n' **** ( as a joke) and I have a good posture ( not saying I walk with my hands pointed out n my gluteous maximus bouncing side to side) but I'm mature/comfortable enough to joke around with stuff like that and no that i'm not gay. And I dooo happen to have a very beautiful girlfriend of mine ( hehehe =D).. but it all matters on how you'll judge somebody by the appearance, but if you want to meet one just talk to them using body language ( if you do happen to be a homosexual) and then see how they react, if they bounce back and make a big deal about it...then mayeb you made a mistake but then if they move closer and start smiling...then uhh...you know..hahaha
GOODLUCK! ..oh yeah... don't judge a book by it's cover ( cliche term) so0o how about.. don't judge a man by his clothes/walk/voice

A straight guy only dresses up and use cosmetics or skin care products only when necessary, like treating a scar on the face...
A gay applies it for prevention and compares the effectiveness of the products with other gays..

There's no real way, I mean some people are stereotypical, others are very subtle, some are stereotypical and still straight, so there's no medical "way" of telling.

The way he talks, walks, hand motions and body language.

Mannerisms! How he walks, moves his hands while talking!

The lips. You can tell by the lips.

Offer to have sex with him. No matter which gender you are, you will get your answer.
