Labtmguy Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 12 hours ago, norefusal said: to me sniffies and grindr are separate beasts. to make the analogy: grindr is like a 90s gay bar, sniffies is like a 90s reststop off the highway😜 the only sites i got zero hookups from are the really niche ones like recon or buddy that cater to bdsm or chasers. apps: grindr was by far my best success. scruff, growlr, daddyhunt, etc were like bars in the sense i'd hookup some as "fresh meat" but then the trail would go stale. adam4adam and squirt were sim, a few early hookups and then long months of "why do i bother" before not bothering sniffies is like the toxic ex i keep going back to. it's not healthy but hey, what's a sex addict to do Very true. sniffies is worse than on the toxic x, cause I pay for the subscription.

Those guys plus the handsome guys giving "massage" if we send PayPal money to their manager first before we schedule.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then get pissy when I don't answer or delete the messages. To me, grabbing a drink falls under NSA. What's not desired is anyone looking for a partner/spouse specifically.

I guess I see it differently, meeting for drinks is a date not a hookup to fuck. I frequently see profiles where I live that appear to be written by someone who is looking for a buddy to hang out with. That is the problem, we don't have separate sites or areas within the sites for guys looking to feck, guys looking for companionship i.e hangout with or date, and guys seeking LTR, which makes the apps less useful for all of us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PozBearWI Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Sometimes I just want to see how our conversation flows before we get naked together. I'm always clear I am in a LTR; so not looking for that. But friends of any flavor is great; and friends who sometimes like to play even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norefusal Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 i can't even imagine what my life would be like if i didn't go w the flow. half my experiences would never have been lived. my biggest issue w sites is the lack of follow thru. i recently chatted w a nice guy who said he was part of a couple looking for a regular 3way fwb, so wanted to meet for a drink first to see if we all vibed. this made perfect sense to me and i wasn't even all "we fucking rn or what?!" because it's possible to do parallel paths. i agreed to meet sometime, while also DMing other guys to come tuck me rn. my only regret is the trail went stale. tbh if they're anything like most couples, he really wanted the 3 way and the hubby didn't thus all the "maybe. we'd have to meet first. no not him. no not tonight." etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just starting or keeping a conversation going is difficult most of the time now. Of course the single word messages have always been around. But a conversation is a two way street.

AlwaysOpen Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 A4A became nothing but spam for me, and I dropped it a few years ago. I don't know if everyone else, or anyone else, has been constantly spammed on Sniffies by "verified profile" urging you to go to Sniffi {dot} com or to Redfet. I can report them as spam ( which takes a lot more effort than it ought to} but never any acknowledgement or visible action from Sniffies. At least a site like Squirt will give you premium membership or extend your membership 5 days if you report a spammer to them and they determine it was indeed spam, or at least a violation of their terms of service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysOpen Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I almost forgot to mention tonight's classic- an anon profile on NastyKinkPigs messaged me tonight from somewhere in Texas, a one line message saying something to the effect" Contact me slave am Master and will make you my slave text me at my address ( and then some Gmail acct)" OK, so other than the absurdity of an anon profile reaching out 990 miles to someone never before conversed with, when I looked at the profiles it showed him as bottom. So it went to NKP via the report button, but again, there will never be any reply back from them. That alone is one of the issues with so many of the sites- they want the member numbers, they really want memberships sold, but they do not want any rapport with their customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all gorgeous, all young, all desperate to escape before they get drafted. And all looking for that total interest-killing “long-term relationship. Or words to that effect. All I have to do is help them get to America. “And do you have an account on Telegram?” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KindaBasic Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 On 5/5/2024 at 10:42 PM, badubydo said: A4A, Grindr, Sniffies, etc. Like what the fuck is going on? 3 anon profiles message me. Ask them for stats, they don't respond. Another 5 or so message me, don't read my profile and are surprised when I say I don't/cannot host. A4A is filled with scammers or nothing but people "I want to get to know you, let's have a drink, chat and maybe in 5-10 years we can have sex." I had one guy want me to drive to Palm Springs, from San Diego to "have a drink and chat" What the fuck? .and Grindr? Same as Sniffies. Blank profiles. Don't read mine, confused when I cannot host. Or just guys wanting to get off on trading pics. Like come the fuck on. I just wanted some dick. Not feelings. /End rant A4A drives me nuts lately with that BS. You get hit up by these guys with blank profiles and no pics, and then they get all pissed when you won’t hookup with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I agree with this completely. I don't go on Barebackrt.com to find my future husband. I used to laugh at things people posted on Adam4adam.com or dare I say Manhunt, where people were actually looking for boyfriends or partners. It is ridiculous, apps and hook up sites should, even discreetly, mention this is for guys who are looking for sex, not someone to make a life long commitment with. When I first used a site online, it was Men4Sexnow.com. I don't know if people still use it but that site was about sex, and at the time, it was very popular in my geographic area. I would hit refresh, refresh and actually be so arrogant if there was not a new message for me. Boy have times changed. But still today, I will go on various sites and people will be looking for romance, "in all the wrong places" so to speak. I did have a couple who wanted to "meet for drinks" off of Barebackrt.com. I was like WTF - drinks? No I can buy my own alcohol, I am looking for sex. I know some people want to make sure before they commit to hooking up that it's a "match" but I am not going to some bar to meet a couple, almost as if it is an audition for sex. Move it along guys, as some guys point out clearly, "we are all here for the same reason". However there are still people out there that just don't get it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmmss Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 I agree the experience with apps is all over the place. Sometime just depend on where or when I am looking. I have had great times with some. But yes plenty of time spent with no result. Bathouse are perfect if there is one in the area. Unfortunatly they are getting fewer. Maybe.... somehow.... new ones will open some day.
