Sniffles gay meet up
How Sniffies Saved Cruising
“Is this a Grindr thing?”
A woman answers her door in curlers. The guy knocking tries to explain: He’s supposed to be gathering up with someone from a, uh, “guy on guy” ad. He’s been given the erroneous address, apparently, and his intended “guy”—one who advertised himself as having a penchant for organism on the receiving end of many other guys—is instead a perplexed gal with no intention of hosting. To add to the confusion, the “Grindr thing” was actually a botched meeting 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?

“You gay bro?”
“Nah just here to network”
Who’s on it? Lots of people. Grindr is international, and guys use it to network and chat as often as they use it to actually facilitate a hook up. At the very least it’s a great way to figure out if that guy at the gym is gay 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 towardsI don’t understand a plane ticket somewhere cool? Like, 75 separate OnlyFans subscriptions? A very welcome donation to the charity of your choice?

“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 plain to be as anonymous as they’d like. It’s also easy to discover glory holes and cruising locales for a speedy hook up. Kin
Sniffies is a map-based hookup 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 Chief Marketing Officer, told Slate Magazine:
&#;Grindr’s really become prefer a Facebook. It’s like you can go on there and you can find anything. You can find a boyfriend; you can maybe sell a auto. Who knows, find your foremost friend. But Sniffies is superspecific. You’re going on there to find guys, have these intimate experiences&#;&#;.
The platform provides users with a real 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 preserve privacy and anonymise interactions between users.
Unless you sign up to Sniffies Plus, users will automatically show up on the actual time map when using the app. However, the app won’t display users’ actual location, instead adjus
