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 discovering your profile, for added privacy and security
• Create groups of cruisers, and welcome 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 tell 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 show up 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 glob

  How Sniffies Saved Cruising

  “Is this a Grindr thing?”

  A lady answers her door in curlers. The man knocking tries to explain: He’s supposed to be rendezvous up with someone from a, uh, “guy on guy” ad. He’s been given the wrong mention , apparently, and his intended “guy”—one who advertised himself as having a penchant for being on the receiving end of many other guys—is instead a perplexed woman with no intention of hosting. To add to the confusion, the “Grindr thing” was actually a botched date facilitated by something called … Sniffies. This cringetastic interaction—which the woman in curlers filmed—now has over 7 million views on TikTok. And understandably, it has prompted the unenlightened commentariat to inquire: What the fuck is Sniffies?

  Today, Sniffies is a web-based app for men looking for sex with other men, often in common spaces—what traditionalists would ring “cruising.” The site actually started as an underwear trading platform, but in , founder Blake Gallagher repurposed the website into a literal heat route for men of the liking-men persuasion.* Manhattan, fo
  
  

  Gay Hookup Apps: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

  We sort through it so you don’t have to.

  Grindr

  “You homosexual bro?”
  “Nah just here to network”

  Who’s on it? Lots of people. Grindr is international, and guys employ it to network and chat as often as they use it to actually facilitate a hook up. At the very least it’s a superb way to figure out if that guy at the gym is homosexual 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 depart towardsI don’t comprehend a plane ticket somewhere cool? Favor, 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 favor. It’s also light to find glory holes and cruising locales for a quick hook up. Kin

  Back on the Prowl With Sniffies

  While it’s hard to utter whether the post–COVID vaccine period will bring on a surge of hedonism like the storied decade that followed the pandemic, a quick scan of the maskless, largely naked boys of New 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 Pride 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 gay hookup site(NSFW!) that’s seeking to harken endorse 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 live updated
