Man Filter: What Would I Look Like as a Man

The viral TikTok trend “Would You Date the Male Version of You?” has taken social media by storm, sparking curiosity and laughs across millions of posts. People are asking fun (and surprisingly deep) questions like:

• What would I look like as a man?

• What would I look like as a boy?

• Would I date the male version of myself?

Using a man filter—also called a male version filter—users transform their photos with short hair, facial hair, and more masculine features to reveal an alternate version of themselves. Some results are hilarious, some are shockingly handsome, and all are wildly shareable.

If you’re ready to try this trend yourself, YouCam Perfect makes it easy with powerful AI photo editing tools available on both iOS and Android.

This trend has taken over the platform, with users changing their appearance using "male version filter" or "male version of me filter" to see what they’d look like as a man. With short hair, a beard, and masculine features, people are having fun evaluating their "male" selves and sharing hilarious or surprisingly flattering results.
