Male Beaded Anklets When I Was In Morocco I Received A Bracelet From A Male Friend, What Did This Signify?

When I was in Morocco I received a bracelet from a male friend, what did this signify? - male beaded anklets

I got a leather strap with a male friend who had the intention to leave / marry me, but I was too strange to understand. The tied around my wrist. Other related male friend slipped a bracelet of wooden beads around his wrist with similar intentions. Is it important in Moroccan culture?
