Aggregating data from over 1 million verified users across 120 countries, this comprehensive report paints a vivid picture of modern dating. From the rise of the Keto Foot Fetishist to the top cities for submissive men, here is how the world dated in 2025.
2025 marked a cultural tipping point. Chyrpe’s rapid expansion mirrors a global surge in curiosity regarding female leadership in intimacy. According to Google Trends, global search interest for "FLR" (Female-Led Relationships) has grown more than tenfold since 2004, reaching all-time record highs in 2025. This rise has been reflected in Chyrpe’s growth. In 2025, Chyrpe has facilitated millions of connections for dominant women and submissive men across 120 countries, reached a million downloads, was featured in 20+ newspaper articles and rapidly expanded its online community to tens of thousands of followers.
In 2025, optimization was key. The Chyrpe data revealed exactly how users hacked the algorithm for love.
The Emoji Effect: Profiles using just one emoji received double the likes of those without. In 2025, some of the most popular ones were ✨, 😂, 🌅, 👍, ❤️.
Bio Length: Size matters—users with bios over 900 characters received 3.6x more likes than those with blank or short bios.
The Breakfast Strategy: Globally, mentioning Coffee doubled profile engagement. Men promising Açai bowls doubled their likes from women, while mentioning Beans was a top-tier strategy to get men to like a profile.
The Fitness Paradox: While "fitness enthusiasts" get the most likes (+37%), people who never workout receive more matches than those who workout only "occasionally."
Chyrpe’s location data uncovered unique "Kink Capitals" around the world. In 2025 a clear trend emerged: In capital cities, the proportion of submissive men is much higher than in most other parts of the country. This is true for instance in Washington, London, Berlin or the Australian Capital Territory.
🇺🇸 USA: While popular, Americans are statistically less interested in Obedience. Instead, they are more into Gifting kinks. The Northeast is the epicenter of foot fetishism. New Jersey, Maryland, and New York all exceed the national average.
🇨🇦 Canada: The Foot Fetish Belt in the Northeast of the US is continued in the Southeast of Canada, where highest rates of foot fetishists are recorded. Canadians are significantly more likely (9.5%) to list acts of service as a kink than peers in other countries.
🇬🇧 UK: Coffee beats Tea in popularity (70% profile boost vs 18%). Northern Ireland is the most generous region for erotic gifting and Worship is the most popular kink of the country.
🇫🇷 France: The French are the world's biggest Foot Fetishists. For French profiles, mentioning baguettes makes a profile perform 3.8x better.
🇩🇪 Germany: An East-West divide exists: East Germans are 40% more likely to enjoy Impact Play than West Germans. Dominance and Submission is especially popular in Germany.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: The nation is divided by a "Röstigraben of Kinks". French-speaking Swiss are 68% more likely to enjoy Gifting than their German-speaking neighbors, who prefer Bondage and Chastity.
🇦🇺 Australia: Australian women are 3x more likely to choose "Gifting" as a kink (8.8%) compared to men (2.8%). Australia’s interest in Chastity is notably higher than in other countries.
The Chyrpe data team has analyzed which age groups share which sexual preferences in 2025.
Youth vs. Experience: Gen Z (18-24) is 3x more likely to enjoy Puppy Play and 2x more likely to enjoy Foot Fetishism than seniors. Conversely, seniors (65+) show peak interest in Service and Worship.
Role Polarization: As users age, women become statistically more dominant (90% of women 55+ identify as dominant), while men become more submissive (71% of men 65+). This needs to be underwood in the Context of Chyrpe that promotes female-led dynamics.
A Chyrpe study from 2025 also found a fascinating link between dietary choices and kink preferences.
Keto: The most fetish-oriented group. Keto dieters showed the highest interest in Feet and Chastity (+40%).
Omnivores: The most likely to enjoy Puppy Play (+43%) and Obedience.
Vegetarians: The leaders in power dynamics. They show the highest interest in Crossdressing and lead all groups in Dominance/Submission. Female vegetarians are 51% more likely to list D/s as a kink.
Paleo: The demographic most interested in Pegging (+59%).
Vegans: Statistically the "least kinky" group, showing 25% less interest in bondage than the average user.
