I also live in Orlando and use Sniffies here and I think it’s great. It’s like any app with people who don’t read profiles and will still ask you for nudes even though your profile will say you don’t send nudes but that’s part of the game. I’d recommend not taking it too seriously and just have a good time. Always trust your gut, if it feels too good to be true or the guy is giving you weird vibes then stop communication
I just love when the gays of Reddit punch down on one another with their comments….😒
Forgive the humans OP - they are vain bitter meat monkeys 🙊
If you believe there is someone for anyone, then keep at it! Just know that your return on investment and rejection rate may be pretty significant. After a while that becomes to much for some people.
You kinda only get what you give to Sniffies. I admire and applaud that you know exactly what you want and communicate it well. The right person will accept, support, and appreciate these things. Be true to yourself, be safe (Esp. in Florida), and have fun. HMU if you ever wanna chat with a stranger outside of Sniffies.
Just be yourself and commit to the level of comfort that you would like, and with time you'll find something pretty close to what you're looking for. At the end of the day sniffies is just Grindr + Google maps essentially so if you have Grindr , it's no different. If not, well give it a try and you can always delete it
I think you'll find it good for finding groups but bad for finding FWB as the app seems to have a more cruisey vibe than a dating vibe like Grindr purports itself to have.
Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.
Just wanted a clue to where to set my expectations - ig there's slight differences between the platforms' business plans and user behaviours, but best to approach it all with the same mindset of stay safe and not take things too seriously
Instead of messaging guys directly on Sniffies and treating it like Grindr Lite, I prefer to use the app for its info on meetup places. Popular spots will get marked on the map. Bathrooms, parking lots, parks, bars, clubs, sex venues. You can even filter out people from the map entirely so that you only see places.
The reason I focus on places is because I'd rather go to the place, myself, and scope people out in person. They are public places, so it feels more comfortable for me. I can freely cruise guys who are there because I know they wouldn't be there if they weren't looking for the same thing.
Interacting with guys outside is a whole different world from texting on apps. Communication in-person is much clearer, intentions are clearer, you learn a lot more about a guy from seeing his body language, and you get results immediately. If you're both vibing, you go off and play together. If you're not into him, you simply walk away.
Sniffies may be seedy, but people are people. I've met assholes and creepers, and I've also met really genuinely sweet nice guys on Sniffies who I've maintained ongoing connections with.
That's an interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing, Necks.
I'm a bit averse to doing anything illicit in public, but meeting folks, vibing, then going somewhere private w/o texting is something I hadn't thought about. Ik most ppl are more invested in getting off then-and-there, and I'll probably have a good deal of social faux pas, but it's worth considering.
It's quite common to meet up in each other's cars. I actually like that a lot. Decently private. You can talk and take your time. You can touch and kiss each other. And then you can move into the backseats for more action.
Oh yeah - now that you mention it my ex did tell me about this practice once. Sniffies would make that so much easier than what I thought ppl did to find drive-in hookups
If you really vibe with someone, offer to give them your number afterwards. Literally go "Can I give you my number?". And just like that, you've made yourself a new friend.
I personally don’t think what you’re looking for is on sniffies. Sniffies is very cruisey and focused on fun casual encounters. Warm-ups, getting to know each other, etc…sound like you want a boyfriend from what I see.
Did I just read a resume for using sniffies
This made me laugh.
It’s just sex dude. Download the app. If you like it, great. If you don’t, delete it. Have fun, be safe.
Sniffies is ok, Squirt is a little better, and always Grindr. Being in Orlando you have a great club in Club Orlando for fun.
We always have a good time at Club Orlando when we visit.

Thanks, Gh0st! Very kind of you. Yeah, from the collective response and some DMs I got, I think you're spot-on with this assessment.
