Fun with Scruff: Bearded Twink

So, have you heard of Scruff? It's the gay "social networking" app for the bear community (bears, otters, wolves, cubs, chasers, cheetahs, zebras, etc.). A few of the awesome things about it:

• Track List: you can see who's viewed you. 
• WOOF: you can send someone the equivalent of a wink to break the ice. 
• Are You Interested: there's a button on each profile you can hit if your interested in someone, and if they hit the button for you, it'll let you both know.
• Global Navigation: there's a grid for guys online right now all around the world (and local, too). 

Here's an example of a Scruff profile. Apparently this queen thinks she can still call herself a twink at 27. With a beard. 

twunk: (n) one who has twink-like qualities after the age of 24. See above. 

Some use Scruff to find exactly what they're looking for. As you can see, this user took advantage of the more detailed sections of his profile to share his varied interests. 

Apparently, I fit the bill: 


Sometimes Scruff can show you just how small a big city is. 
no. 

And some have found quite unique ways of getting others' attention.


Some are more direct than others. 
Did I mention the block feature?

AND Scruff comes with push notifications! You don't even have to open the app to see the variety of messages guys are sending to you. 

No need to drain your battery to see what people are saying. 
this guy has the right idea!

Just don't leave your phone face-up in a meeting...
this guy doesn't.

As you can see, Scruff is a delightfully entertaining app packed with great features. It's been around for about a year now, so there are a ton of guys on it (officially: 1.1 million)! And it's not all bears. Hell, I'm on it!
