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.
RELATED:
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

Same thing with IQ tests. The bias lies in the content of the questions only being familiar to middle and upper class students, so poor students don’t understand the context. Say there’s a question about a birthday party, or going on vacation, or getting your allowance. Poor kids’ parents might not be able to afford any of those things, so they’re completely foreign concepts to their kids. That’s why many very intelligent underprivileged kids scored low on IQ tests, even though they may have been top of their class in their school.

I want to live in a world where wealth does not determine your educational opportunities.
D S 4 years ago (edited)
me too but its almost impossible. Even in countries where the school system is basically free, the level of knowlegde/money your parents have will always put you in a better position. People usually have access to more things as a whole. They get more opportunities. They get to read more, be more involved with other activities and the opportunity to travel, learn new languages, see different cultures, etc............ And making a mistake while being poor can set you back big time, but if you´re well off, it´s just a learning experience. ......... I think there is not a single country in the world where being born rich isnt immediately a step up on a lot of things. Even being born poor in different countries means completely different things for those people...

Sometimes it's really extremely hard to get into an university in Brazil, because the public schools are way behind private ones in everything, then poor people has to not only study but also work every early, to get to the point of really getting a spot against all the priviledged kids is really an act of supreme power of will. I myself failed, gave up, and I really admire those with the guts to persevere and achieve that.

It's a rigged game. Once you pass those exams there'll be more exams and training to pay for... minor for wealthy students (who can also afford extra tuition and adjuncts to help them excel) but crippling for poor students. And then you encounter fulminant nepotism, classism and other discrimination as you attempt to navigate a career. Good luck

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.

It says: A teacher at an elementary school in SC wanted to help little boys with no dad at home so he started an “Gentlemen’s Club” where these littleguys dress up and learn to shake hands, make eye contact, etc. He even has extra jackets and ties for boys who can’t afford them.

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!
