Guest Jockstrapbottom Posted yesterday at 04:27 PM Report Posted yesterday at 04:27 PM Squirt, but only because it seems to be widely used in my area and has a list of cruise locations when travelling. Also I find it easier to navigate than sniffies / grindr, and I don't have to install an app. That said, I've never been convinced it's worth the cost. Quote
NWUSHorny Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM Report Posted yesterday at 05:21 PM If I were to move or get an extended work assignment to somewhere with an active hookup culture, I will probably do Sniffies and possibly Grindr. None of them are worth the investment if you are looking somewhere that doesn't really have a casual hookup culture or is in a sparsely populated area in my opinion. 1 Quote

Never considered paying for any others, as I demand the free service to be good enough first! Quote

ffabbian Posted 22 hours ago Report Posted 22 hours ago Grindr and Scruff are the best in my area but cancelled my monthly subscription for both this week as I've hooked up with all the local guys I wanted. Basic membership is fine to see who's online and looking and show that I also am. My regular hook ups have my WhatsApp. I pay for a month or two when I travel. I'm on bbbrts and Nkp without subscriptions as there are only a few that are local and some of them are also on grindr or scruff. Hardly anyone is logged on with bbbrts. I also cancelled squirt for and recon for similar reasons. Quote

Sure, but I do travel quite a lot and I used to get a month here and there. A few years ago there was an offer that I feel is low enough in price to justify buying. For sure it’s not something I need all year but as it stands I will renew for one more year and then see 🙂 As to your claim the biggest plus compared to scruff is the ease of sending pictures. That’s what kills scruff for me. Then again if Grindr introduced more annoying free features in the past 2 years I wouldn’t know… Quote
ellentonboy Posted 5 hours ago Report Posted 5 hours ago NONE. There are plenty of free sites that have the same individuals on the pay sites. At least that is the situation where I live. Sure, Sniffies you might come across guys on the DL, but generally they are on the free portion of the site as well, There is no reason to be giving your money to these sites, EXCEPT, if you travel for work and finding hookups take away from the free time that you have. In that case, I would consider a pay site. 1 Quote

meetme Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago I’ve always paid for BBRT. It gets the most important question off the table. What bigger waste of time is there than persuading a stranger to NOT wear a rubber? If you don’t want to pump your semen deep in my unprotected ass for your own pleasure, why are we even talking? 1 Quote

Then again if Grindr introduced more annoying free features in the past 2 years I wouldn’t know… So many more terrible ad products, so many more user experience interruptions and dead-stops, so many more notification glitches, so many more scams... Grinder is the most extreme example of Cory Doctorow's "enshittification" that I know right now. I made no claim, just a simple assertion independent of how well or poorly any other app may meet users needs. Quote
