What does 💁 mean from a guy you don't know?
Unknown sender using this? Could be anything from a weird attempt at being relatable in a networking context (cringe) to a 'friendly' but ultimately creepy unsolicited opinion. Unless it's clearly for an ironic meme, it's a red flag for 'I think I'm funnier than I am' energy.
