Michels said on TikTok that this experience has been “such a fun, crazy road.” He also spent some time thanking all the people who documented it; Michels is a videographer himself, and a couple weeks before the TikTok wife search he posted a video to YouTube about getting a tattoo with a Tinder match that was also framed as a “stranger” experiment.
