What does ๐งโโ๏ธ mean from a guy you don't know?
From a stranger, this could be anything from a weird attempt at humor in a gaming lobby to someone being dismissive in a more serious context. If it's unsolicited, it often comes off as passive-aggressive or just plain rude, implying they don't value what you're saying. Definitely proceed with caution; it can give major 'not interested in what you have to say' vibes.

It's a common move for guys to use humor and ironic distance when they're actually feeling something, so it could be a subtle flirty deflection.
