Gay cruising in car

Here’s a helpful overview of the most common environments where men meet for spontaneous, discreet encounters.

🌳 Public Parks & Woodlands

Quiet areas with paths, wooded sections, and hidden corners are popular for cruising. According to internal data shared with Fast Company, “50% of cruisers identify as bisexual or bicurious, while only 33% identify as gay.” For some, that makes Sniffies a thrillingly unpredictable place to explore; for others, it adds another layer of complexity to navigating desire and disclosure.

The app also includes privacy controls. For power users, Sniffies Plus also offers group hosting, anonymous check-ins, and 300 LivePlay minutes each month for video chat.

The price structure varies depending on how long you commit. In March 2025, Sniffies finally launched a native iOS app, calling it a “major step in expanding the Sniffies experience.” The app introduced new features like push notifications for messages and a safe-for-work mode that blurred explicit photos by default.

Over the years, Sniffies has gained traction not just among gay men, but also bisexual, bicurious, straight-curious, and trans users who are interested in fast, location-based connections. The best value is the six-month option, which drops the rate down to $9.99 per month, though it does require paying upfront.
