Local Duo Brings Humor to Dating with Dumb and Dumber-Inspired Photo Shoot

Micheal Barthen and Giancarlo Valdes , two local friends, are taking a playful approach to the dating scene by using humor to stand out. Inspired by the iconic comedy Dumb and Dumber, the duo held a quirky photo shoot dressed in tuxedos reminiscent of the movie, visiting various Palm Springs locations to capture their zany personalities. Their goal is to spice up their dating app profiles and attract attention with their unique twist. While navigating the struggles of online dating, they hope the fun photos will help them make a lasting impression. Additionally, one of the bachelors will be featured in an upcoming Netflix documentary about the world’s largest crypto heist.
