The actor, who has been married to Livia since 1997, made the comments during an interview with ShortList magazine.
Firth, 54, was discussing his newest movie – Kingsman: The Secret Service – alongside his 25-year-old co-star Taron Egerton, when the subject of Tinder came up.
The actor replied: "I'm curious about this [Tinder], because my dating days pre-date technology. What is this thing called Tinder?"
His co-star then explained the dating app, leading Firth to answer: "So Tinder is actually a nod back to the era of courtly love, when a man had to compose a song rather than just saying, 'Do you fancy some?' in the pub.
"I think using courtship skills – the written word – gives men a chance to formulate something that doesn't depend on just spluttering face to face. Perhaps Tinder affords men the serenity to craft a decent overture?"
Firth and his wife Livia, married in 1997 and have two children together; sons Luca, who was born in March 2001, and Matteo, born in August 2003.
