AdultFriendFinder vs. Sniffies: Whats the better site for hooking up?

Gay men are absolutely spoiled for choice in the world of hookup apps and sites, but that doesn't mean every option is worthy of your time.

If you're looking for a fast connection, whether virtual or in person, some services clearly stand out.

Today, we're pitting one of the internet's oldest hookup sites against one of the newest hookup sites in a head-to-head battle to see which option comes out on top.

Will it be AdultFriendFinder, the 30-year-old online kink community with millions and millions of active members, or Sniffies , Grindr's less-famous relative that's only been around since 2018? Because both sites operate in very different ways, we're comparing them in five unique categories to help you figure out which one is worth your time and, potentially, money.

From their homepage , AFF boasts nearly 8 million active users across the United States, making it relatively easy to find matches in more rural communities.

Sniffies, on the other hand, has just three million active monthly users , and because of its location-based matchmaking algorithm (more on that later), it's a lot more effective for people in or near metropolitan areas.

Given the sheer size of its community and its dispersion, we give the edge to AFF.

Winner : AdultFriendFinder Culture If you're looking for a hookup , it really helps if the site or app you're using isn't ambiguous about its purpose.

Tinder is great and all, but every match produces the same dance: is this person looking for something serious or casual? Both AdultFriendFinder and Sniffies are unambiguously hookup apps, and one clear tell there is in their embrace of nudity.

On both AFF and Sniffies, you can and should expect to see some full-frontal nudity.

In fact, it's not uncommon to only see full-frontal nudity, without an accompanying face photo.

In contrast to these two raunchy sites, even Grindr, with its strict prohibition against nudity, looks tame by comparison.

Winner : Tie Ease of use One area where AFF really shows its age is in its interface and site architecture.
