Discrimination on Sniffies app

[thestarrevolution]

If you're not white, muscular/fit, and/or hung like myself, then good luck on the cruising app Sniffies. I tried getting invited to several events (including ones that are "chill" or "welcoming") and didn't get a single response from a host. People complained about Grindr users being racist or fatphobic and it seems like Sniffies is actually worse. I finally deleted my account.

Are you mad that people weren't attracted to you? That seems sorta entitled. If your profile picture is you then... I mean, come on man.

At least I have the confidence to show my face instead of making rude comments from a blank profile! And no it's not just me: the majority of visible attendees on these events (and active users in general) are white and muscular.

Isnt that true for most apps ? grindr, scruff, tinder etc ...

Anyone on any hookup is always going to care primarily about looks and pretty much only that.

I'm 66 and white here. Kind of the nature of these events. It's a private event put on by folks that are looking for a certain "thing" (like fitness models). In my area there is a (white) guy that posts "taking multiple loads... Hung black tops to the front". Don't take it personal. Also, the block function is great for weeding out the ones that annoy. I use that a lot.

Now... There are also private sex clubs (in private commercial spaces) showing up around me on Sniffies. The two near me post "all types of men welcome". Look for those. Some have sex slings, couches, and beds. Usually for like $20-$30. Check it out.

What you're saying is spot on. There's a lot of racism (and ageism) on these apps and websites. There are also a lot of limited, unrealistic body standards or expectations, or weird behavior in terms of a lack of good communication. I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to validate that there's nothing wrong with you and this is super common. If anything, as fucked up as it still is, it would be great if those guys explicitly said in their bios that they're only looking for fit hung white guys (I've seen a handful of guys that do); it saves everyone time and energy, and it's best if they just tell on themselves up front.

I'm sure you have your own sexual preferences.

Would you be happy if forced to meet with any guy using the app?

It sucks to not be the most desirable demographic ever, but take solace in knowing >90% of other men also aren't.

Racism, yeh, it's just how the world is now and nothing you can change there. I'm a dom Asian. I've had loads of fun and loads of racism-ish moments.

Fat, well, it's also just how the world is but there is something you can change about it. If you can't change the world, change yourself. If you are unwilling to make effort yourself and whine about the world, feel free but nobody is gonna help ya.

By the way, like others already pointed out, you won't want to have sex with whom you are not interested in neither. These ppl on sniffles have their types which is not you. But all they did is not responding to you. Impolite? Errrr. Racism? Hard stretch. They didn't say or do anything about your race, just didn't have sex with you that's all.

I've found that Sniffies is very different depending on where you are. People like what they like, and it isn't always racism. Sometimes they are just fucking morons.
