Swiped Out

A Much-Needed Guide to Dating Apps

Dating and relationships are hard enough as we try to read the cues and guess what potential mates are thinking. But when we're placed behind a faceless and soulless digital wall, it's almost impossible.

Swiped Out is a long-overdue user manual that attempts to add some insight, clarity, and a little humor to get us all on the same page. This book suggests ways to get the most out of the dating apps, how to temper expectations, and most importantly, reminds us all to have some grace for one another as we all navigate this landscape that is all too new for many users.

The author of "Nothing Ruins Youth Sports Like Adults," a look at how entitled parents who put their children ahead of the team can destroy an entire program, Jon is back with an incisive look at dating app culture and how to get the most out of the apps.

Warm, honest, and very relatable.

As a woman on dating apps, I really appreciated the author’s point of view. So many moments made me smile because I genuinely related — the little frustrations, the emotional whiplash, the rare sparks of hope…. At the same time, it also reminded me that finding “the one” can feel like a very long journey. By the end, I felt seen… and also inspired enough to delete my Tinder account 😁

If you’ve ever swiped, sighed, or wondered why modern dating feels like a part‑time job, this audiobook hits the mark.
