What does 🤽 mean from a guy you don't know?

Unless you're in a very specific niche community where this is a known inside joke, it might just be a shot in the dark to get your attention, and you probably don't need to engage.

He's probably hoping you'll find it funny and respond in kind, seeing it as a green flag for a shared sense of humor.
