Any Success With Sniffies..? It's been a while - a review.

Do you look a specific way? Muscular and tall and hung? That tends to work.
That shit is on the daily now. There used to be the spam sex/porn site ads. Def bots cuz they deploy the second you are active on the site.
Still are. I redacted the ads and "improper" language. Both could have been eliminated, as they rarely do... but immediately can. "Message Removed" is never seen enough.

I also despise the sensitivity of the site. In messages, you cannot write anything negative about Sniffles, or speak to anything about links or websites—you have to cryptically code or spell out site names in 193829 ways, otherwise your message will be removed. It’s so bizarre.
I also have no clue why they don’t have an app already. The site is not the best for mobile. Could use a better UX too.

Squirt is exactly the same way. gPlay will not allow sexualized apps. Doubt iStore does as well.
Those using the "apple app" of Sniffies dissappear quite often. My 1st guy showed me this. They also do not show the location either. He was here, but still showed 3.25 miles away, with his manhood down my throat.

Yep. Something changed. I notice now the spam is at the first log in... always anon with a
"use google to find it" and some sort of cryptic user name. I can't imagine it being a successful spam campaign using this method.
I noticed something being in Canton TWP, Michigan (Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area) . It was NOT difficult to get hookups. I was in Canton not more than 15 minutes and got the 1st one. So it's not about looks. Seems to be the Toledo area being almost 100% bottoms and bottom sides, some even claiming to be "tops". Also the fact that too many want cam and are superficial on Sniffies.
I also noticed the SAME EXACT blocked and reported guy came back to harass me again. I reported him, took screenshot before he deleted the conversation and then emailed Zendesk support. This was an issue discussed earlier in this thread. His original profile needs blocked at the same time, with his IP. What might help is a phone number to verify people. Some throw away phone services do not take verification texts, unless you pay. A single number blocked should never get access. Doyblelust does this. Only positive thing about DL.

I see you're pretty invested in the issues with Sniffies... You are using the paid version with all this grief? I'd stick to the free version, block the troublemakers, and move on. I've yet to see a good reason to pay for the service. It seems pretty easy to find dick at least once a week... If not more.
The point i and others in town are finding..... It's not. A regular of mine agreed... it's not easy at all. This is Toledo, not Palm Springs. That is the sole reason we stayed regulars. We could not find willing and truthful guys. He just confirmed this before he left an hour ago.I see you're pretty invested in the issues with Sniffies...

As for invested.... a marginalized community is being wronged by a community that also is marginalized... a good reason to not have "pride" in June. Sniffies is not taking this marginalization and safety seriously with ALL users. This is a problem. And if someone pays, this makes it more issue than if it's free. One is paying and not getting the value. I am not going to pay in July. Autopay was shut off. I am not renewing the $50.95. Too many issues. I will probably never use the site/app again. Too problematic when it does not have to be.

Like I said in a previous post, I think Sniffies is VERY region specific. I live in a suburb of Los Angeles. So I tend to meet other discreet men like myself. Not long term stuff. A large Latino population as well (which I'm finding pretty fun).
We do have a few trans folks within my area that pop up from time to time. The problem there is usually they are misrepresenting themselves as wanting to "hookup". But it always turns out to be a pay to play scenario. Within the first contact the term "looking for generous" is used. It's too bad, but I don't judge anyone's side hustle. Trans (as are total tops) are very in demand around these parts for hookups. Note I say hookups rather than dating because in my view that is the intended use of this app.
I would not judge humanity on the behaviors of the folks on this app. It's a hookup app.

I've had a couple of meets. I probably should use it in WeHo or Silver Lake or Echo Park instead.
Yesterday in the Poconos region of PA, I had a hookup with a Latin guy in the area. I'm black, but what I have noticed on sniffies is that in the more rural areas, you may have more luck, but the people tend to be more selective and as this is a more predominantly white area, minorities often get overlooked and so on so forth. I hate that the guys can be time wasters but when its free, people can do what they want. I would almost say they should make people pay for sniffies because that way there are least time wasters and you are more inclined to hookup.
Heres another situation. I reach out to a guy. I send my pics stat and what I'm looking for etc. The guy likes what he sees and says would I be up for doing these other things and that he also doesn't have a lot of time. I respond that I only comfortable with these things, but he doesn't want to hookup because I don't want to do xyz, even though he said he would have been happy with the other things I mentioned. It's exhausting based on the area because people look for specific things and then complain that they cant find anyone when they have made connections. They are their own worst enemy
