From a Guy
What does 👐 mean from a guy?
When a guy sends 👐, it often has a similar 'jazz hands' energy, like he’s presenting a joke, a hot take, or just a general mood, often with a self-deprecating or ironic slant. It can also be a more straightforward 'I’m open to this' or 'welcome,' especially if he's trying to convey a chill, non-threatening vibe without being too earnest.
