With the end of the year comes lists of trends from the past year and trends for the upcoming year.
Grindr has provided an extensive overview of the trends and “best of” for 2025 in Grindr Unwrapped 2025. Favorite stats include most searched profile tag (“hung”), country sending most nudes (Finland), most proclaimed “daddies” (USA). Other fun info: Pedro Pascal is named “Daddy of the Year” (naturally!), 135+ billion chats sent, gayest fashion trend (slutty little glasses), and much more!
Sex trends for 2026 include the death of the one night stand, the return of the office romance, a resurgence of speed dating, and digital threesomes (bringing AI into a relationship for sex advice or including as a romantic partner).
Tinder Year in Swipe reports that clarity is the new “hot”. Say what you want, let your friends help, don’t be an asshole to waitstaff, and stop pretending you don’t care when you definitely do. Is this really a trend or just smart dating advice provided by the dating app? Still, there is some fun info in the report.
