Atrocious concept. – SCRUFF - Gay Dating & Chat Review

App itself functions at 4 stars. Concept, garbage. Back 30 years ago, gays were closeted and afraid to be out in public. Now they’re all sitting on their phones, hiding, lurking, and ultimately using an almost completely non-accountable form of communication to slowly lure people to them, making it seem as if there’s a mutual desire, when often times it’s completely selfish in nature. In SF at least, so many “tech” dudes that have no social skills outside of work, a bar, or social networks. So many open relationships. So many married men. So many Muscle4Muscle torsos and chests. It’s disgusting. I am also someone who can strike up a conversation with anyone in real life and not be embarrassed or anxious. So this seems like a step back for me. THE WORST PART: The ability for people to just put “PReP” in their profile and have seemingly fearless sex multiple times per month with multiple partners. Herpes, Clam, Syph, all of these are on the rise and somewhere like Strut doesn’t test for herpes or other diseases that are just as serious as HIV in my opinion. The app acts like it’s the best, full of features, and just amazing, when in reality, it is garbage, confusing, missing so many key features, and promotes lack of empathy to other human beings (unless they fit into your desires) Furthermore, they dangle “high ranking” hot dudes on your main page to keep you clicking and clicking and clicking.
