Scruff?

Sniffies. , for section 8 cruising

People on reddit are always talking about how Hinge is the best gay dating app. I've never used it so I can't comment.

Related -- back around 2016 there was this map of which app was #1 across the nations where data was available. I don't see a more recent update via quick Google search.

Doublelist is fugly, cheating married guys. like Craigslist was but even lower rent. Because only the most egregious sex addicts have heard about it.

Doublelist is definitely bottom-of-the-barrel. In my city it's a mostly old men who want to lick an unwashed ass, get pissed on etc.

I used to browse it when it was free but I haven't been back since they put the paywall up. Never met up with anyone.

Fuck, I miss Craigslist.

Here in NYC in Hell's Kitchen its the same guys 24/7 on all the apps, Grindr, Scruff, Sniffies the list goes on. One would mistakenly assume in this neighborhood you see a constant variety of guys shifting around. One would be wrong in that assumption. They are all ass up blindfolded, body nazis, no one older than 30. NPNC even though they have a blank profile. Such a disappointment and I live in the area. "hey, pics?" "into?" , "host?" and nothing happens. SMH. Fake pics, catfish, Bots galore. Give me some rural area lol

Same here in Harlem.

R37 - I would assume a lot of those on those apps are PnP sex addicts.

I've never been on a dating app - ever. I was either not interested or partnered. Not that I look down on apps at all - I just was never interested in using them.

But looks like I will have to in the next year and I'm legit terrified.

I've heard Hinge is better for more regular guys and actual dating.

But I got to get back out there again - they're not going to come knocking on my door.

I may be in the minority, but in my day, I dated several guys whom I met in a bathhouse. What I liked was that these were guys I never would have met otherwise. Being naked and basically starting with sex is a kind of equalizer, and if you take it one step further to an actual date, you may end up with a teacher, a construction worker, a minister, a corporate VP, a well-known author, an actor, etc.

None of my bathhouse dates ever ended up with a long-term relationship, but none of them were duds either.

I met a hot married muscular Asian guy on Doublelist in 2018, and we hooked up regularly for four years until I got bored. He was messaging me into 2024 but I blew him off, and when I thought better of it he blew me off. Life.

I hadn't been on Grindr in over a year. Reactivated my profile and was shocked at how many WOMEN are on it. And they were real women too, not trannies (though those were on there too).

by Anonymousreply 51August 15, 2025 9:50 PM

R51, both are on there now and it's fucking weird. Nobody without a penis should be on grindr or any gay dating app.

by Anonymousreply 52August 15, 2025 11:05 PM

Grindr is a disaster since the trannies ruined it.

I'm just getting out of an eight year relationship and I'm excited and nervous about getting back on the apps. I've heard Grindr has completely gone to shit.

by Anonymousreply 56August 16, 2025 10:46 AM

The problem is that everyone still uses Grindr. Yes, it's gone to shit ,but it still has the most guys on it.

What it also has is lots of trans, women, blank profiles, bots, scammers, etc. Way more than it used to. And that's why people say it's gone to shit. But until the majority of gay men stop using it, it still needs to be in the rotation if you're looking to fuck.

Scruff and Sniffies are other good options for fun if you're looking to get back into the game. Just don't expect a relationship out of sniffies. And be careful. Because we're entering puritan times in the US again and I'm sure there are undercover cops on Sniffies looking to arrest people hooking up in public.

The Blowers is great too. I have found hotter guys and nicer guys on there versus Grindr.
