Man Pouting 🙎‍♂️

This emoji shows a man with a pouty, disappointed expression—pursed lips, downturned mouth, and often a furrowed brow. The face conveys visible displeasure, sulkiness, or frustration, as if someone's been let down and isn't shy about showing it.

People use it when they're genuinely upset, annoyed, or feeling ignored. It's perfect for that moment when plans fall through, someone disappoints you, or you're dramatically exaggerating a minor inconvenience. In group chats, it often signals playful sulking—like "nobody picked me first" energy.

It differs from sad or angry faces because it's specifically about pouting—a more petulant, attention-seeking kind of negative emotion. You'll see it paired with messages like "fine, whatever" or used to react when a friend cancels plans.

Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 4.0 in 2016, this gendered variant lets people specify the emotional expression they want to convey with more precision.
