I'm forced to weigh in here as a very very former "Tinder" user.
Also, a company called Hinge made an interesting and cute video with one of my favorite artists songs, Heart - "What About Love" called "Dating Apocalypse".
There is no arguing that the American Dating landscape is littered with the dying, dead, and decaying bodies of those who have been trapped into the new lifestyle idea that "anything goes anytime with anyone" romantically.
The "Swipe" per se is only the symptom of the problem.
The real problem is Kid In The Candy Store Syndrome or "KISS". Yes. That is my ORIGINAL thought, so please don't plagiarize.
KISS is a manifestation of the decrepit, decadent, arrogant, lust driven, spoiled rotten American lifestyle.
The Devil's Lie that "you can have everything you want all the time" is another form of the Greatest Lie Ever Told... "You shall be like God"....If you'll remember that was the original lie the Devil told Eve way back when.
And oh yeah, we all know that THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF THE LIE.
The belief that sex and relationships are interchangeable, flexible, and fun for fun's sake, is a continuous downhill spiral which ends in heartbreak and disappointment, and yes, likely emotional and sexually addictive characteristics.
If ever there was a single point of blame for the increasingly degraded moral fiber of America it would be the Machiavellian idea that there is no price to pay for want you want, no doubt, what you think you are ENTITLED to in another person.
The only true Biblical Solution?
The Big C... for those with the moral integrity to even attempt it.
Yes.
That DOES so stand for Celibacy.
Gee. I really do hate to ruin the party but God's Word is explicit. As in, BLACK AND WHITE, on this point;
NO SEX FOR CHRISTIAN MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT MARRIED.
There are soooo many great verses on the subject of sex from God's point of view. Here's one:
Whoso commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding. He who does so destroys his own soul.
Proverbs 6:32
And from the New Testament Church Epistles written to Christian believers:
Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord (Jesus Christ). And the Lord (Jesus Christ) for the body.
I Corinthians 6:13b
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does commit is without the body. But he that committeth fornication sins against his own body.
I Corinthians 6:18
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
I Corinthians 7:2
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed. And fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
I Corinthians 10:8
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification. That you should abstain from fornication.
I Thessalonians 4:3
