Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Anwar White arguing that people who attract emotionally unavailable men are themselves emotionally unavailable. The speaker explains this dynamic by saying mutual emotional unavailability makes relationships easy/surface-level, using the "kiddie pool" vs "ocean" metaphor to contrast shallow and deep emotional engagement.

Natalie said, and why I realized that I attract emotionally unavailable men. If you attract emotionally unavailable men, it means that you're emotionally unavailable. And that's no shade.
Why. Because if you're not emotionally available and you're not expressing your emotions, you don't require.
The emotionally unavailable man to have to be emotional with you. So that relationship is actually really easy.
So you might say, oh, my God, this is such an easy relationship. Yeah. Because y' all are surface level, you're giving kiddie pool, and you need to give ocean.
Kiddie pool is very easy to swim in.
Yeah. So if that happens, it means that we've got to get in touch with our emotions.
