5. Although they aren’t considered jeans, thus making them eligible for the work environment, your ratty corduroy pants with the shape from 1971 (bell) and the ridiculous stretch mark where you carry your wallet, should probably stay at home. Actually, I don’t know what you should do with them, but they should probably be removed from your home just in case you ever got the inkling to even wear them while doing yard work. Please do not let me catch you wearing these pants with a comb hanging out of the back pocket.
6. Although you don’t often see them on men anymore, one thing that a straight guy should be able to notice on a woman (or man) is the perm. This went out more than a few years ago now, and just based on men’s preferences in dating, it should be obvious that perms don’t work. You still qualify for the perm if you live in a trailer, watch Nascar, or think Geddy Lee is the greatest singer of all time. Even then, you should probably not broadcast these facts to the world with your selection in hairstyle.
Well, six isn’t a lot, but it is a damn good start. Let me know if you have some more. I, and the rest of our seemingly inept straight community would appreciate it.

I disagree about the suspenders....but ONLY with a suit.
You may also wish to add the mullet to your list. For some reason, people seem to need reminding that this is a bad choice of coiffure.

yeah.. I figured because there are entire sites dedicated to pictures of the "canadian passport" that I would let that one alone. :-)

Comb in the back pocket, maybe. But a brightly colored pick never, ever goes out of style!
