So I reckon the theme is a misleading, one night stand:
👋you meet
👏it's a success, clap for your social skills
🤝you agree to go to theirs
🤏you like 'em big, they mislead you and are not, in fact, big
✌️you leave
☝️you realize something
✊you can jerk off
🙏you thank god for the ability to please yourself
Also this puzzle is named strands lmao
