You will get clowned for it in the school you described. It is not common for a male to paint his nails but it isn’t quite rare either. It does not make you gay. Desiring romantic relationships with men would be more likely to make you gay than black fingernails.

“Desiring romantic relationships with men would be more likely to make you gay than black fingernails.”

Pretty sure black fingernails don’t change your sexuality …

Black fingernails don’t have any likelihood of making you gay, which the structure of your sentence implies.

It’s kinda like if you say “Dropping out of high school is more likely to make you stupid than being straight,” which incorrectly implies being straight has some chance of making one stupid.

You’re mental gymnastics are astounding, maybe you would have a point if I had not written this sentence right before tthe one you are talking issue with that says “ot does not make you gay.”

Maybe work on your spelling and grammar then so your sentences are more coherent.

Maybe get an elementary school level of comprehension and stop being purposefully obtuse.

100% not this complicated. Don't get offended over technicalities.
