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
Aww hell... I'd wanna play with soooo bad but be so afraid to break them...the AGONYYYYYYYYY.....
A basic car you earned yourself is far superior to a flash car paid for by someone else.
It does the job. On my first car, the passenger door wouldn't open from the inside.
Partner on a date: Gosh he's a keeper, he always opens my door for me when we get to a restaurant. You: If I didn't, I'd be eating alone and you would be trapped in the car.

I remember when I bought my first car, after scrimping and saving for months. I was 19, and incredibly proud. I remember thinking that I finally felt like a grownup.
If only more people had this attitude for everything in life in general. Like people complaining how small houses are. And here I am, content that I have a warm bed and a roof over my head. That's really all that matters. But people aren't content and always want more and more.
Check out Philippians 4:11. It's wonderful attitude to develop with the help of the Holy Spirit.

My first car was a 99 Civic and that took me to work and back home almost 200km per day. Almost 6 hours of commuting and traffic daily and it never broke down while driving to work. I had it for five years. We all have to start somewhere and build from there. I'm very happy for you! I remember the feeling when I first got mine.
This is wholesome, congrats! But i cannot to not point out that his last name is "junk" 🙈
My first car was an old Crown Vic that was an old cop car in my town. It cost 175$ and fit all of my friends in it. Fast as hell too.
My daughter did this too. Well done he will have a great future as has she..
Seems to be a Honda. "Not the most fancy", but it will outlast most modern ones.
"Months of savings" - here it takes YEARS and thousands of bucks. I never had a car or learn to drive in 40 years because it is expensive. The gas prices are plummeting and it's like have another son, a more expensive one. Never come to Brazil, this is a nightmarish place one day I'll leave
Sometimes you gotta praised yourself for your hard work. 😌
Grandmas are the BEST! She put a lot of heart into making this!
Dang,why yall gotts show stuff like this. Im gonna be goin to work lookin all weepy.
Omg I watch his videos!!! He is absolutely hilarious. I had no idea he had lost his job
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.
