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.....
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.
So true! Went from sleeping in a truck bed camper shell with a few yoga mats, to a floor with the same mats, to finally having a futon recently. It was hard earned and worth the wait! A nice, soft place to sleep off the floor is a huge blessing.

My first apartment. I slept, and sat, on the floor for months before I finally found a mattress set, then a second hand bedroom set I really liked, then a couch, then chairs, etc. Took months of flea markets, yard sakes, and second hand shopping, but I finally had a comfortable, fully furnished apartment, with pictures on the wall and books on the shelves, and everything.
My first place was the same. I had a chair, a TV and some cooking gear. It took about a year to cobble some furniture, a kitchen table and a bed. AND... I HAD a decent job. It was just that the rent, the car and utilities ate up a load of it, not to mention I do enjoy eating from time to time.

Living in a world where we can't even live comfortably and have just what we need to live. Without struggling and killing ourselves. Is by far the most messed up s**t ever. Everyone should no doubt work to live but there should be an equal balance of wages, time with family, and to enjoy life. It does not make anyone lazy or entitled to want to work less and spend more time enjoying their existence and their family. People really are brainwashed to think a certain way about wages and living and it's not right. Knowing even one person is out here killing themselves or working so hard for even a bed just shows me how very messed up things are. I don't know that's just what came to mind after seeing this young man post his working for a bed.
That was us 12 years ago. Now we live in an upscale fully and nicely furnished 2 bedroom apartment in a great neighborhood. All it took was persistence and some smart research on the best way to increase our skills without spending a lot. I actually saw a chef on tv that said he worked as a chef in a restaurant 5 days a week and then spends one day a week volunteering in other kitchens that make Japanese, Indian and other cuisine so he can learn different cooking techniques in the hopes of opening his own restaurant.
Wow... I get ya! I went from floor on a blanket, to an air mattress to a bed. Even floor to air mattress was an improvement.
Our mattress was on the floor for several years.... Other things were more of a priority 🤷
My first flat, all I had was a 14-inch black and white Morphy Richards portacble TV with the back hanging off, a bean bag, a sleeping bag and a milk crate. When my friends, neighbours and family saw what I had they gave me loads of furniture, white goods and a 26 inch colour TV. I was fully kitted out after 3 months and could not stop crying in appreciation. I always try my best to pass it forward now
I have a friend that slept on an air mattress, divorced, single parent. She put herself through school and is now an ER dr. Never give up.
If you can't afford a propper bed you can also try either pallets or beer crates. Cheap and sturdy.
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.
