From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 👭 mean from a guy you don't know?
From a male stranger, this is a hard pass. It's giving unsolicited DMs from someone who likely doesn't understand boundaries or social cues. Could be a bot, a pick-up artist trying a 'unique' approach that fails miserably, or just someone clueless. Archive and block, sis.
Also from from a guy
From your crush
If your guy crush sends this, it's giving major cringe and confusion. He's either trying *way* too hard to be perceived as an 'ally' or 'safe', which can feel performative, or he's completely missing the mark on how to flirt. This is not the romantic signal you're looking for, and frankly, it's a bit of an ick. Unless he's gay and sending it to another guy, the context is usually off.

From a guy friend
From a guy friend, it's usually either a deliberate, ironic joke between you two if you have that kind of rapport, or it's a sign he's just really bad at emoji usage and thinks it means general friendship. If it's not ironic and he's straight, it might signal he sees you as 'one of the guys' but in a way that’s slightly patronizing or desexualizing. Proceed with caution.
