what a dude, kudos sir
imaCallYouPapi
Shoulders for days son. But im glad he said it. And people cheered. Mostly men in that arena. Thanks for posting this OP.
Ploty
Beautiful. Is there someone here who knows wich accent he speaks?
TraceyMartel
It's from Liverpool UK, the most passionate people in the country
fnordy
That is the thickest accent I ever heard. Somehow it makes the message even more poignant.

Paddy the Baddy is my favorite fighter in UFC right now. Lad has a great head on his shoulders and is entertaining to boot

He's like a meme come to life, nice post fight message anyway.
StabbyMcMurder
Man that's sad
BurningVeryImportantThings
I really don't like Paddy as a fighter but holy shit he is really hard to hate as a person.
BurningVeryImportantThings
my dislike stems from how much money I lost on his first ufc fight. I have a problem and it isn't just alcohol...
DrowningLessons
Yeah the patriarchy or whatever you want to call it is just as toxic to men. I'm glad I went to therapy and got emotionally vulnerable.
NotWelcomehere
An enforced hegemonic ideal of masculinity. It's damaging as all hell. No one should have to bury their feelings or their friends bc of them

Love it! Watched the show live. I know it resonated with many.

This was beautiful to watch and important to share.

Good job sir ?

"Men start Tolkien!" Paddy "The Baddy" Pimblett.

This is a MANs man right there.

Aren't there some issues with 988?

That's a strong, caring Scouser right there.

I lost my best friend to suicide. I agree, I would rather support my friend than morn him.

Bless his heart. Thank you.

Godamn that hurt to hear!

Yep
WeDontDeserveGoldens
I’m alright too. Heavy.
zmanjace733
Cry some more! (Except in this instance, like, actually cry. It's healthy)
servingmytimeinusersub
I'm actually doing pretty OK after just being alright for a long time. If anyone needs to talk, drop me a line.
tythiss
I'm alright, too.
WeDontDeserveGoldens
Silent burdens are that much heavier. Who could possibly understand? Hugs brother. I feel it too.
tythiss
Hugs, man. Thanks.
Spectre4Prez
I'm alright too. I try to talk but a lot of the time it feels like no one listens.
1metalnation
I used to be. I've got a very loving partner who listened. She helped hell me. If you need to talk, I'm here brother
WeDontDeserveGoldens
I feel that man.
giraffinator
Love the way he grabbed the mic with two hands

Well done.

As a Toffee, I object but as a man that's concerned about men's mental health...

Could be rated as the best (if he wasn't a diving bellend).

Went from being gracious to your true bitter self in 2 posts. Classic bluenose.

What a legend, Paddy is. I bet that he went out to eat like 15 burgers for the memory of his mate after the match.
TheDutchSwedish
Paddy the Baddy ain’t that bad
dman101proof
Man goes toe to toe with violent beast and to me that was the bravest thing he has done saying that.
Pupvote
The pain in his eyes is HAUNTING.

This guy is a legend
JHRD1880
This guy is such a great addition to the UFC. Genuinely down to earth, always helping people in his home town, spreading good messages,...
JamJarre
Like how immigrants are taking over the UK and if they don't like being housed in sub human conditions they should fuck off back home
JamJarre
I like him as an athlete but honestly he's just another thick lad otherwise. He's not a role model
FarmerFerg
Speak to someone. Get medicated. It helps. Take it from someone on day 4 of Lexapro.
Taterzlol
Its not just about talking, its also about finding someone to listen. Most people just want to talk about themselves.
gunnexx
Especially guys, cuz we're so problem orientated. We listen, we compute, we compare to our own experience, and we try and solve

Wasn't there even a group here on imgur that people could chat with?

Sorry, I don't normally make dark jokes but I've been on Reddit for many many years and I've seen a lot on here...just trying to fit in lol.
laughoutloud74
It's OK. I've a very dark sense of humor. I'm sure I'm going to hell for a lot of the things I've laughed at.
Sitting101
Anyway i deleted it.

Is it still active? I accepted the invite but I don't see and conversations.

Even if it’s not organized this community is incredible. I’ve had total strangers sniff out my need to talk. Then boom. I’m talking.

Machdisk112320
Yup. I posted my suicide note on here and the outpouring of concern is what stopped me.
WeDontDeserveGoldens
Fuckin a. Hope you’re doing better my friend. As the man said, way rather you talk than come to your funeral. No matter what your brain/1
WeDontDeserveGoldens
Fucks around and tells you. Had some dark days myself friend. Dig them heels in, one day at a time and all that.
Miierin
That's a great message and from someone men might listen to! When is this from?
liamcafs5
Last night, watched it live. Spoken with feeling. I've been the one needing that talk. There is always another option. Talk or listen.

My first thought was "wait, isn't this guy an enormous wanker?" and yes, I was correct.
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
I hope so! Last time the meme was posted with a woman saying men need to take care and listen to each other, all of the comments were about
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
how actually women are the ones who need to listen more and to raise their sons better and it was pretty disgusting, but indicative of the
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
fact that even young men have a lot of stigma to overcome in believing its anything but a woman's job to take care of their emotions.
slopwagon
Great message but unfortunately it turns out he is a xenophobic racist.
TreasonousCheeto
“Great message. Now let me try to convince you not to listen to it.”
slopwagon
Message is great regardless. Sometimes a POS stumbles and does something good.
coffeebaby
I mean... If Hitler said something nice would you make a post about it? I wouldn't.
TreasonousCheeto
Good to see Godwin’s law is still in effect.
TwoCheese
Hear the words and not the voice. Some shitty views don’t invalidate all of their views. But yes, idolize no one.
slopwagon
I agree. Even the sun shines on the dog’s ass some days.
BenevolentViking
I don't think the issue is that men don't listen to these messages from other people, but rather that not many people listen to the men :/
Dappin
So be a person that listens to men.
wickld
That's what they tell themselves/believe. "No one will listen, no one cares." Depression is vicious that way.
apidicereal
The “just be a man” generation is slowly beginning to see the fault in that. My male friends are SLOWLY opening up to talking.
svirr
I’ve started opening up too my wife. After fifteen years of marriage and three children.
apidicereal
Keep it up! I know it’s tough to get accustomed to, but communication is everything!
svirr
It’s such a word concept to me. Nobody ever cared what went in with me. My wife didn’t really understand. Just used to me being quiet.
TaggerXA
I just convinced my 68yo dad to go to therapy. That's been a hell of a struggle. Finally convinced him, after nearly a year.

lsama
I saw this too. Amazing fight by an amazing fighter, who made an amazing, heart-felt statement that desperately needed to be said and heard.
realizedagain
That is such an English goddamn name.

StevePMM
Speaking as an Irishman, look up "Liverpool accent" on YouTube, you done goofed...
realizedagain
Nah he's from Merseyside.
gunnexx
Not everyone called Paddy is Irish...
StevePMM
Irishman here, 'Patrick', in Irish, is 'Pádraig', 'Paddy' a nickname derivative. So, while you're not wrong, the assumption isn't outrageous
Graysapphire
Sure but I probably wouldn't call it an English name either
Feralblowfish
One of the strongest Liverpool accents Ive ever heard dunno why you would think he's irish
Sauroctonus
I think the accent has some heavy Irish influence, but it is definitely easy to tell apart.
