What does 🧗♂️ mean from a guy friend?
Your bro sent this? He's either legitimately working out or on a hike, or he's jokingly signaling he's 'climbing' out of a bad situation, like a hangover or a deadline. It's usually pretty direct or part of a shared meme about struggling with adulting, often with a 'we go again' mentality.

It could also be him subtly showing off his 'effort' in something, hoping you'll see him as driven and capable and maybe want to join him on his metaphorical climb.
