After years of only having football and eggplant emojis to express masculine feelings of love, there's actually a secret heart emoji just for men!

White straight cis masculinity is more fucking fragile than a sparrow's fart https://t.co/n1tyg9QZRe

Your body parts are a gendered wonderland, apparently. https://t.co/Vd3F1W2VeW

Gosh, straight people are busy. https://t.co/LuGv9WjooZ

@mirrat13 @JohnMayer ok but it's actually a joke... he made a seemingly sexist remark about ❤️ being too feminine, but then used 💋at the end

So, was it a joke? It's unclear, but upon further study, it appears Mayer has had some notably fire tweets lately:

You’re always wrong when you think I’m high. Except the time I hacked my own account and tweeted about Fifth Harmony. You had that right.

If you had to remove your eyes to rinse them at the end of each night, how long ago would you have lost them both?

IF YOU START THE BLENDER ON SLOW, THE SHAKE POWDER DOESNT CLUMP UP ON THE SIDES TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW

And he did follow up his heart emoji tweet with another tweet:

To those who were rankled by my heart emoji tweet: I still ♥️you. I just don’t, you know…❤you.

So, like, maybe? Probably? Who can tell?

We reached out to Mayer for further insight into his thoughts on heart emojis. Will let you know if we hear back.

xoxo 💗💖💘💝
