A short advice clip by Anwar White urging people not to put a romantic interest (a man) on a pedestal. The speaker argues that placing someone on a pedestal creates an enduring unequal dynamic—the admirer always looks up while the admired looks down—leading to unhealthy "daughter-daddy" energy in relationships.

Tia said. Hey, fairy Godbrother, do you have any tips on talking to someone you like? Yeah. Talk to them like they are your younger cousin. Yeah. The fact that you're asking this question lets me know that you're already putting this guy on a pedestal. Men cannot be put on a pedestal.
They cannot.
Like, because here's the thing. If you start with him on a pedestal, he will always be on a pedestal, and he will always look down on you, and you will always look up to him. And that gives daughter daddy energy. And that is not a dynamic that is going to be healthy in a relationship, okay?
