Grindr Unwrapped reveals fem tops dominate the UK – while Ireland is full of bears

The United Kingdom is being dominated by fem tops while Ireland is being overrun by bears, according to the data published by Grindr as part of its annual user recap, Grindr Unwrapped.

More than 15 million people used the dating app every month in 2025, and new data pulled from those users suggests that the UK is filled with queer folk who are fem in the streets, and dom in the sheets: the country has the highest number of fem tops in the world.

Everyone in the UK is a winner though, it seems, as the country has the second highest number of hung bottoms in the world, apparently. The UK’s neighbour, France, leads the package – sorry, pack – on this front.

Britain’s capital, London, was declared as the best city in the world for a ‘Gaycation’.

The UK’s other neighbour Ireland, meanwhile, has the highest number of bears – queer men who celebrate having larger builds and rugged body hair – closely followed by America, Greece and South Africa. The UK also has a fairly high number of bears, too, coming in at fifth place globally.

Those who are channeling their inner Lana Del Rey and are in search of a more mature man – to put it simply, a daddy – should book a trip to America immediately, as the country has them in spade loads. After the US, the countries with the most daddies are Australia, the UK, and New Zealand.

Twinks are in abundance in Switzerland, South Korea is the country with the highest percentage of open relationships, while Italy is the nation with the highest number of feet lovers – which explains why the country is shaped like a boot. 

By analysing the profiles of its millions of users, Grindr also managed to determine that the gays went big in 2025: the most-searched profile tag this year was “Hung”.

The report uncovered that Switzerland prefers to keep things virtual – it’s the nation that sent the highest number of nudes in 2025 – while, globally, almost 13 billion ‘taps’ were sent by Grindr users keen to express their interest in each other.

In addition to using data taken from users’ profiles, Grindr ran a survey to uncover some of the famous faces that the queer community loved in 2025.

After more than 30,000 votes, the app found that Joey Mills was the community’s favourite adult film star, while Pedro Pascal retained his title as most loved daddy.

Jonathan Bailey followed up being named People’s Sexiest Man Alive by achieving Grindr’s title of Hottest Man of the Year (and ‘Best Bulge’, tied with Bad Bunny), a title previously held by Pascal.

Lady Gaga was named ‘Mother of the Year’, with her seventh album Mayhem being voted as the community’s favourite, while her February single “Abracadabra” was the track most used by Grindr users to soundtrack their profiles in 2025.

Interestingly, on the topic of Mother Monster, Grindr usage spiked by seven per cent in cities on the nights she played her Mayhem Ball tour. Gaga knows how to spark many a Bad Romance, it seems.
