Sniffie gay chat
Sniffies: The latest cruising site you've probably never heard of
Should I pay for Sniffies?
Well… it really depends on what you want out of it. There are a ton of features that are only accessible for paid members, but I’ve included the most useful and/or sought after below:
- Check into specific places on the map without showing your profile, for added privacy and security
- Create groups of cruisers, and encourage members
- Override your GPS location to browse other locations (i.e. ‘travel mode’)
- Browse without showing up on the map (i.e. ‘discreet mode’)
- Get marked as a verified member – Sniffies reckons this provides more credibility and increases your chances of hooking up, but of course they’d speak that…
- Upload multiple profile photos
- See archived chats - messages are automatically deleted after 2 months unless engaged with, so this means you can see who you missed if offline for an extended period
- Pin chats so they come at the top of your chat list and will never expire
- Enable read-receipts
- Live video chat (i.e. ‘LivePlay’)
- Post cruising updates in the global chat area
Personally, I didn’t feel a dependency to sign up for a paid membership, but I imagine for

Grindr
“You gay bro?”
“Nah just here to network”
Who’s on it? Lots of people. Grindr is international, and guys exploit it to network and chat as often as they use it to actually facilitate a meet up. At the very least it’s a wonderful way to figure out if that guy at the gym is male lover or not.
Best for? Scoping out the scene in a new town, flirting for weeks with someone you’ll never meet, getting catfished.
Downsides? Upgrading to Grindr Unlimited is a jaw dropping TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE DOLLARS per year, money which could alternatively go towards...I don’t know a plane ticket somewhere cool? Like, 75 separate OnlyFans subscriptions? A very welcome donation to the charity of your choice?
Sniffies
“looking?”
“yeah”
“come over”
Who’s on it? Sniffies is a pretty mixed crowd. DL, bi, married, and curious guys are drawn to Sniffies because it’s easy to be as anonymous as they’d appreciate . It’s also easy to find glory holes and cruising locales for a quick hook up. Kinksters and horndogs are on Sniffies because they understand it’s the quickest no bullshit way to

In the digital era, where anonymity and instant gratification converge, Sniffies emerges as a groundbreaking platform for the gay, bi, and curious Cruiser society. Sniffies isn't just an app; it's a cultural phenomenon, redefining the landscape of gay cruising with a merge of modern technology and age-old desires. This guide delves into the planet of Sniffies, offering a detailed walkthrough, savvy insights, and the nuanced etiquette of digital-age cruising.

A User's Guide to Getting Started

Sniffies is a map-based one-night stand app for gay and bi men. The platform caters to ‘Cruisers’, men who are walking or driving about certain areas looking for a casual connection.
Sniffies sets itself apart from other apps such as Grindr because it is specific about its value: creating hookups. Eli Martin, the platform’s Main person Marketing Officer, told Slate Magazine:
“Grindr’s really become enjoy a Facebook. It’s love you can go on there and you can find anything. You can find a boyfriend; you can maybe sell a car. Who knows, discover your best friend. But Sniffies is superspecific. You’re going on there to find guys, have these intimate experiences…”.
The platform provides users with a true time map that is updated to show nearby Cruisers, popular meeting spots, and active groups. As part of its casual vibe, the platform has multiple options to safeguard privacy and anonymise interactions between users.
Unless you approve up to Sniffies Plus, users will automatically present up on the concrete time map when using the app. However, the app won’t display users’ actual location, instead adjusting it into a pseudo-location.
Cruisers who are hosting a meetup will show up with

While it’s hard to say whether the post–COVID vaccine period will bring on a surge of hedonism like the storied decade that followed the 1918 pandemic, a rapid scan of the maskless, largely naked boys of Modern York’s Jacob Riis Beach on a recent weekend suggests that, at least for the local queer crowd, the ’20s are entering a full roar, baby. And as bottoms, tops, and N95s hit the floor this Lgbtq+ fest month, a recent hookup website (that’s website, not app) has poised itself to strut past the more familiar Grindrs and Scruffs on our phones and capitalize on all the horned-up, post-quarantine energy.
Sniffies is an upstart homosexual hookup site(NSFW!) that’s seeking to harken back to the old days of cruising, giving users a freak-forward user interface that shreds the decency mandates of the app stores and allows users to instantly locate the nearest dick or ass floating (literally, as photo icons) around in their neighborhoods on a inhabit updated GPS blueprint. The approach cuts out the tedious texting and etiquette now so ordinary on the traditio
