What the file says
# scruff.com ## About Scruff got its start in 2010, carving out a niche as the go-to app for gay, bi, trans, and queer guys who like it rough around the edges – think beards, body hair, and bold attitudes. It's more than endless swipes; it's a full-on social network with grids showing nearby action, matches based on your type, and tools to plan hookups or trips. Millions log in daily to browse profiles loaded with pics, stats, and what they're after, from casual fun to something serious. The tribes feature lets you filter for bears, daddies, jocks, or whatever floats your boat, building real community bonds. Travel mode is a game-changer for nomads, linking you to locals before you land. Pro users get the deluxe treatment: unlimited searches, incognito mode, and seeing who viewed you. Scruff's all about safety too, with reporting, blocking, and verified badges to weed out fakes. Events tab hooks you up with queer happenings worldwide, from pride parties to bar nights. Voice notes and video keep convos spicy without typing novels. It's free to start, but subscriptions juice up the experience for serious players. The app's evolved with user input, fixing glitches and adding kinks like power preferences. In a sea of dating apps, Scruff stands tall for authenticity and fun. It empowers guys to embrace their look and hunt what they crave. Global reach means dudes from Tokyo to Texa
