50 Of The Most Wholesome, Honest, And Hilarious Wins Being Celebrated By Men, As Shared In This Online Group
Men struggle to give themselves a pat on the back from time to time. No, not because their big muscles can’t reach behind them. We mean appreciating themselves for what they’ve achieved.
A change is needed and thankfully, ‘Dudes Posting Their W’s’ on Twitter is here to show us how. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment and it should be shared with the world. The feeling not only boosts you but makes others feel warm and fuzzy inside too.
That’s why Bored Panda has collected the most wholesome W’s (a.k.a. wins) shared by men from the account. We love to see another brother succeed and we hope you do too, but check out wins for the ladies here too. Vote for your favorites to spread the good vibes.

Being a guy can be tough, that’s why it’s important to reflect on the positives in life. With over 1.2M followers of @DudesPostingWs, it’s clear that many feel the same way. The page shares wins from men of all ages and walks of life. Whether it’s a little everyday one or a massive accomplishment, they’re all worth celebrating.
But it can be difficult for men to do this sometimes. It’s not that they don’t feel anything—men simply struggle to put their thoughts into words. Talking about emotions (good ones or bad ones) can seem like an effort and many refuse to open up.
Although it seems like a stereotype that men just can’t talk about their feelings, we need to look into why this is. After all, stereotypes come from people perpetuating the same belief over and over again. Many researchers and psychologists have made it their study to find out why this idea is so ingrained in our culture.
On this, the psychotherapist and author Daphne Rose Kingma said, "We've dismissed men as the feelingless gender—we've given up on them. Because of the way boys are socialized, their ability to deal with emotions has been systematically undermined. Men are taught, point-by-point, not to feel, not to cry, and not to find words to express themselves."
Hell yeah man.Good for this dude. Man shouldnt be punished his whole damn life after hes done his time.
It is learned behavior, not something that is natural to men, or any person for that matter. In fact, research was completed looking at men’s emotional capability whilst still in infancy. Their results found that men are just as capable of expressing themselves emotionally, if not more so than women (at least in their early years).
And boys are shaped from very early on in life about what it means to be a “man”. How many times have we heard that “big boys don’t cry”, or the expression “man up”. The word itself has become loaded with connotations of being unwavering and unflinching—showing no emotions or weaknesses.
Men are not some Terminator-type of machines, incapable of feeling anything. Their emotions are as deep as a river but we can only see what’s on the surface, not into their depths. That’s why it seems like a dam bursting when men finally open up about how they’re feeling, and often not in a good way.
That's adorable. When I was small all the neighborhood boys would come over and ask if "Mr. Ray" ( my dad) could come out and play football with them. My brother would play too. Unfortunately I got banned from football once I grew boobs, which I always felt was slightly unfair
I hate these kinds of exams. They don't really test a student's academic capabilities and often require expensive prep courses to do well, which just weeds out the poorer people
It's tough when we also need to teach them about stranger danger, but I know what you mean. Love thy neighbour

Always be nice to janitors, lunch ladies, housekeepers, landscapers, maintenance people, and all the other service people who do work on your house, your car, your office building, your school, etc. They’re good, hardworking people who totally deserve your respect. Without them, things would go to s**t really fast.
Damn those tear duct ninjas... making my eyes water up unexpectedly like that!
When I was growing up there was this famous children's book about jobs. And one of the lines stack with me for the rest of my life: "every job is important and every worker is respected"... People should never look down on janitors, servers and every one who makes our lives easier, cleaner and comfortable.
Definitely sounds like something you'd find on @craponlinkedin

I am getting tired of seeing different people posting this same exact story and claiming it as their own, though
Also isn't really the janitors story to tell, than this self-aggrandizing persons. He literally just thanked himself to the whole world

You need to know ANYTHING going on in a school, ask the janitor. Super invisible powers, know what's up!!
Cleaning is one of the most important jobs in our society, we'd be flooded with flies and rats in no time without it, I hate people being looked down on because of their job.
The custodian at my old company was our buddy. The Finance department usually worked later hours than the rest of the firm (because we also all partied pretty hard lol) so we all ended up beomcing buddies with our custodian, Armando. When we had after work events in the office, we'd always invite him and he'd have beers and drinks and stuff. It doesn't take much effort to know people, regardless of their position or situation. My ex-g/f wonder why I was greeted by owners and staff at bars and lunch places that we'd go. It's because I genuinely would always so hi to people. Also, the funniest thing is, after I was laid off at my firm I randomly ran into Armando on the street and he was wearing my new company's polo shirt. He also ended up working at the same company I did! Different building though, but still.
I went to a prestigious ladies school in my youth in those 10 years( 1940's and 50's )and during a sports day ( loathed anyhow)found the young daughter of a domestic staff member peering through the bushes at us . I went over to her said hello and we then regularly sat together from that day in those bushes exchanging little girl chatter. She was my friend. I was hers. I was told not to fraternise with her and was so shocked, but then we were forcibly parted only when she was found to have nits. So did half the school behind closed doors. I will never forget her or the discrimination of class division. I wonder where she is now? I still remember does she?
The janitor that cleaned the office that I used to work at was a nice guy. I always spoke to him and made small talk with him in the elevators. At Christmas my coworker and I got him a little something for Christmas. A big smile came across his face and thanked me. It wasn't much but it was the thought that counted. He said not to many people do things like that for people in his position which is sad.
Imagine being in a position where "a little something" feels like a lot. Hate this world

Don't be too broken up, it's genuinely not real. It's a copypasta from a humble brag on Linkedin

This is so good in so many ways but... It's so sad that such things are not every-day occurrences
No. Your comment us what is wring in our society. We are ounished and shamed for our mistakes but never allowed to share our accomplishments. That is one of the reasons why there are so many mental health problems nowadays.

Unless you’ve been there, you probably don’t know truly how much this means.
Congrats to this guy. It aint easy. I went from size 48 to 33. Nothing like this cat has done.
Being kind and generous just because it "seemed like something fun to do." Man, you rock kid.
Estimated to have saved the lives of 2.4 million babies. Really astounding.
The left photo is the man standing on the outside ledge of the Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the Gate between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It’s a favored place for suicides. I’m glad they talked him down.
Clever, I should bring mirrors everywhere everyone can be in the photos

This is wonderful. We need to do this more; we live in a society that judges you for your mistakes but never celebrates your accomplishments. I am proud of all of them.
I loved every one of these and they should ALL be in the top position!

In honor of my dad’s birthday today, I’ll share one of his wins for him. My dad LOVES beach combing and rock hunting. When we go on vacation, especially to the Great Lakes, it’s all he does. The best thing ever is that he’ll make friends with the other rock hunters. I’ll be sunbathing or swimming and I look up and my dad’s in this circle of people telling them about the fossils and pudding stones he found. Every time, he’ll met other people and identify stuff they’ve found, tell them about special stones in the area, etc. It’s so awesome. I like beach combing, but my he’ll do it for hours at a time. He’d be there all day if we let him. Happy birthday dad! Love you!
Ok, if you're going to post this kind of stuff, you NEED to include a box of tissues
oh man, the onion ninjas. Thanks for the beauty and the love. Love it.
