From a Guy
What does 🦓 mean from a guy?
When a guy sends this, it's almost certainly not literal; he's probably going for peak ironic humor or just being aggressively random, which is its own kind of funny to Gen Z. It might also be a low-key compliment on uniqueness if he's trying to be suave but also keep it chill, acknowledging your distinct vibe without being too intense. He’s unlikely to be talking about an actual striped horse unless he's a zoologist, which again, not the default.
