From a Guy
What does 😍 mean from a guy?
When a guy sends this, it's often a pretty straightforward signal of genuine admiration or appreciation for something he finds genuinely attractive, impressive, or cool. However, among friends, especially in group chats, it can absolutely lean into ironic territory, used to react to something ridiculously over-the-top, silly, or as a mock-simp gesture.
