# Female-Friendly Dating Apps WyldFire is a Dating App Made For Women By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-11-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyldfire References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/wyldfire-dating-app-women-friendly) & [wyldfireapp](http://www.wyldfireapp.com/) Move over, [Tinder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-3)! There's a [new dating app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-dating-app-cerca) in town, and it's vying for the throne. Wyldfire is geared towards making the online dating experience more female-friendly. If you're a woman who is tired of unsolicited dick pics and the creepy comments that accompany them, you can rest easy knowing that every man on Wyldfire has been personally invited to join by another woman. Having this female approval will hopefully reduce the number of creeps on the network, and the shirtless mirror selfies that come with them. The app operates much like Tinder in that two people can only message each other once they're matched. However, there are a limited amount of messages the users can exchange, and only the woman can unlock more. Other Wyldfire features include Hints, which, much like a [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/user-first-social-media) poke, allow users to show an interest. Like the messages, the Hints are also limited to three per day. The limit encourages users to use their Hints wisely and intentionally, rather than arbitrarily distributing them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Female-focused Dating Apps:** The success of WyldFire indicates a growing demand for dating apps created specifically with women's needs in mind. - **Anti-harassment Features in Dating Apps:** Incorporating features like women-only approval and limited messaging can help dating apps differentiate themselves and attract users seeking a safer online dating experience. - **Limited Features in Dating Apps:** Limiting messaging and other features can create scarcity and encourage users to be more intentional with their interactions, leading to a potentially more positive experience. ### Where This Applies - **Online Dating Industry:** WyldFire and other female-friendly dating apps have the potential to disrupt the traditional online dating industry by appealing to a niche audience seeking a safer and more intentional dating experience. - **Mobile App Development Industry:** As dating apps continue to evolve, app developers have the opportunity to create new features that cater to the needs of women and other marginalized groups, potentially leading to increased user engagement and revenue. - **Social Media Industry:** Dating apps with features like Hints may start to overlap with social media platforms, blurring the lines between online dating and social networking and creating new opportunities for innovation and revenue generation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Professional-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-matchmaker.md) - [Safety-Focused Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfiltered.md) - [Social Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-3.md) - [Hybrid Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-we-first.md) - [Anti-Ghosting Dating Sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after.md) - [IRL Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blush-app.md) - [AI-Powered Swiping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wizard-of-swipe-for-tinder.md) - [Detail-Providing Dating App Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinder-share-my-date.md) - [Matchmaking Dating Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheers-dating-app.md)
