Lead you around by the nose

The phrase "lead you around by the nose" means to manipulate or control someone effortlessly by exploiting their gullibility, lack of assertiveness, or blind obedience. It implies that the person being led has no real autonomy or independent thinking and can easily be influenced or directed by others. Just as one can physically lead someone by pulling them around by the nose, this phrase suggests that the person being led is submissive and easily guided by others without questioning or resisting their direction.
