Spend enough time on social media and you're likely to come across at least one story about men behaving badly. Toxic masculinity, possessive boyfriends, big egos, even bigger barfights... It can sometimes feel like the conversation around men is dominated by the worst examples.

But while many of this discourse is important, we shouldn't forget that there's another angle to be discussed - one that often doesn't get nearly as much attention. Behind the alpha males fluffing their tale feathers lies a world of gentle souls. Guys who are kind, supportive, thoughtful, emotionally open and not afraid to show it. They're hyping up their friends, praising their partners, sending love to their parents, and inviting the granny next door to come for dinner so that she doesn't feel lonely.

In honor of these men, Bored Panda has compiled a list of heart-warming posts from and about guys that prove wholesome masculinity does exist. So sit back, keep scrolling and don't forget to show your appreciation to the amazing men in your life once you're done reading.

    I made this rocking chair in ‘97 wood shop class when I was 14. Had no idea why I’ve kept it for 24 years. I'm 38 now, and I have finally realized it belongs to my son. Might be a dumb post, sorry, but his face makes all those years worth it.

    My dad is afraid to fly, so when I was 5 years old, I made him a doll to hold on the plane. Mom just sent me this picture. He is packed to come visit me. The doll is 43 years old!
