Chyrpe, the world’s first dating app built specifically for female-led relationships (FLR) and femdom, is seeing record growth as more people embrace new models of intimacy and leadership in relationships. What was once a niche dynamic is now entering the mainstream and Chyrpe’s community numbers highlight the cultural shift.
By the numbers
Since its launch in May 2024, Chyrpe has been downloaded about a million times across the App Store and Google Play. The app is now active in over 120 countries, has facilitated millions of matches in just over a year, and continues to expand its reach with an engaged community of more than 70,000 Instagram followers. These figures underscore a new era in dating, where female leadership is not only accepted but actively sought after.
Chyrpe data also reveal remarkable momentum. Chyrpe’s daily iTunes and Google Play downloads have risen steadily throughout 2024 and 2025. While growth has been global, there have been several spikes in 2025 in all the world regions. This steady rise and the sudden bursts of popularity in different regions show that FLR culture is spreading well beyond its traditional niche.
Over the past two decades, global search interest in female-led relationships has surged. According to Google Trends, searches for “FLR” have grown more than tenfold since 2004, reaching record highs in 2025. What was once a little-known acronym has steadily gained traction, reflecting a cultural shift toward curiosity and acceptance of new models of intimacy. This rise in search activity mirrors the rapid growth of Chyrpe, underscoring how FLR has moved from niche communities into the mainstream conversation.
User experiences
The experiences of Chyrpe users bring this shift to life. One woman described her first days on the app: “I signed up over the weekend and already had a wonderful dinner date with a sweet, submissive guy! The quality of interactions with my matches has been better than on any other platform. I was so surprised to find someone who fit my type nearby, and that he was ready to meet so quickly. As a dominant but monogamous woman, dating has been unusually difficult for me lately — it feels amazing to finally have hope again.”
Another female user from New York highlighted how respect is built into the culture: “He didn’t argue. He asked how I preferred things. Finally, a grown man.” And from the male perspective, a user in Denver emphasized the clarity FLR brings to his dating life: “She doesn’t micromanage me. She just makes it really clear what matters. If I drop the ball, that’s on me, not her.”
Chyrpe’s success reflects a new era where female leadership in dating and relationships is not only accepted but celebrated. Increasingly, users are turning to spaces that emphasize respect, intentionality, and clear communication, the cornerstones of FLR culture.
