From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 😸 mean from a guy you don't know?
When a guy stranger sends this, it could be anything from a casual reaction to a post to a slightly uncomfy attempt at being 'friendly' or 'approachable' in a DM. If it's unsolicited, it can give a bit of an 'ick' if the vibe is off. Context is critical, but generally, be wary of overly 'cute' emojis from strangers.
