What does 🤾 mean from a guy you like?
If your crush sends this, he's probably trying to seem cool and chill while also showing a playful side. It could be a self-deprecating joke about trying to impress you or trying to figure out dating. 'Me trying to come up with a good pickup line 🤾' – he's aiming for a laugh and to show he doesn't take himself too seriously. It’s a low-key bid for attention, trying to be quirky without being too intense.

From a guy friend
From your bro, it's likely just part of the banter. 'Me trying to get a decent K/D ratio 🤾' or 'Us trying to pass this class 🤾.' It's a quick way to share a laugh about shared struggles or just add some random energy to a conversation. Very straightforward, no hidden meanings here unless you've got an inside joke about handball, which would be wild.

It could be an attempt at a quirky opener, but it often comes off as slightly out of touch. Definitely keep your guard up; it's not a green flag for normal conversation.
