From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does ♂️ mean from a guy you don't know?
From an unknown sender, this could range from totally innocent (e.g., in a gaming context identifying as male) to potentially weird. If it's in a random DM with no context, it's giving 'who are you and why are you sending me this?' energy. Best to be wary until more context is provided, or just block them.

From your crush
If he sends this when he's trying to impress you, he's probably attempting to be funny and relatable by leaning into self-deprecating humor about 'guy stuff.' He might be trying to show he's not a 'toxic masculinity' type by acknowledging stereotypes ironically. It's a calculated move to seem chill and humorous, definitely analyze the vibe of the preceding message.
