If a guy works at a cosmetics counter, is he by default gay?

There is a well dressed, attractive man who works at the Yves Saint Laurent counter in the department store. However a friend is convinced this is the default for gay.
Although he is not as flowery as the guys working at the Mac counter, I would like to think stereotypes shouldn't apply. And in a way they don't, because a person is more than their orientation.
I don't think I could ever get the gumption to go up to him and purchase some expensive cosmetics. But do you think he is gay? :)

Depends on his shoes and how his shoelaces are done. Only verified way to tell if someone is gay or not.

No. One's sexual orientation comes from the inside, and is not defined by any outside forces. There are men who work as gay porn stars who consider themselves straight.

Did you check his cavity for another man? You can usually skip that step by just looking to see if there's a naked man standing inches behind him.

Perhaps you could consult your Magic 8 Ball at your next slumber party.

I know this guy, and while he's not gay, he is into some kinky stuff that you may be uncomfortable with. He likes his girls to dress up in their grandmothers stockings and sing WWII-era tunes while he shocks his nipples with 9-volt batteries. Just letting you know before you get too involved with him.
His name's Luke, by the way.

Unlike Jimbob, I don't know this guy, but it's completely obvious that he has a birthmark on his left knee, can hold his breath for 4 minutes, is double-jointed, speaks fluent Swahili and is allergic to shellfish.
Because, come on, he's working at a cosmetics counter, and all those guys are, y'know, that way.
