I've always found the terms to be highly subjective.
So as far as online dating is concerned I don't have my own definitions but I like to learn those of others.
So, what exactly is YOUR definition of "down to earth"
Some of the definitions of down to earth I run into when trolling profiles and having talked to people are:
- I'm not high maintenance.
- my standards aren't that high, a lot of people have complained about others online only wanting brad pitt or angelina jolie. I have my standards, but I'm not like "those" people. Yeah I reject a lot to every person that contacts me for some reason. But it's not my fault. I'm down to earth. Since I said it on my profile then people that email/call me back when I reject them are wrong when they say anything that might prove I'm not.
- I have no desire to fill out a profile except in vague terms that really have no meaning other than adding positive associations.
I like walks on the beach, laughing, and puppies too.
I have to put something here or it won't let me move on to looking at the pictures and getting mail.
I am only here for others to present themselves to me so I can pick and choose. It's not a two way street. It's about me. I have no intention of putting any of my true personality in my profile.
I might miss out on mr or mrs right if I commit to a personality.
I have to be as attractive to as many people as possible.
- I read somewhere that men/women like a woman/man who is down to earth.
And I've decided that I am down to earth.
I have no idea what it means.
I just know I will be seen as more attractive if I am down to earth.
And now I truly believe I am down to earth.
I'm also funny, smart, ambitious, romantic, independent, attractive, kids are my world, I can dress up or down to go out or stay in, love cuddling, and giving back rubs.
Really, I do nothing but watch netflix and masturbate.
But I want to be those other things.
And now that my profile says those things, then I am those things.
- I hate talking about myself because really I don't want to face myself or who I really am. To tell you the truth, and I never will, I behave badly. I also put relationship on my profile when really I've been using online dating sites for 7+ years and it seems no relationship has lasted more than a handful of months, and 90% of "relationships" seem to magically end right after I sleep with someone.
So...I'm just going to put on my profile that which I read in a lot of other peoples profiles, like being down to earth.
- Simple. Not wanting anything complicated or dramatic or over thought.
- I will not think about you when we aren't talking to each other. I have other stuff to do and I focus on things as they come.
- don't expect me to dress up or put much effort into dating. I will show up in sweats or shorts or whatever I feel like. Don't expect makeup or an ironed shirt or clean.
what exactly is YOUR definition of "open minded"?
The meanings I've run into are:
- I just watched/read 50 shades of grey and now I am shopping for a guy like that.
- I want to set up a rape fantasy.
- I have a complicated life. I have 5 kids from 4 different guys, 3 of which live with me. 3 of the guys that knocked me up live with me. Plus the kids. Complicated.
- I'm pregnant.
- I'm handicapped.
- I am bisexul.
- I am heavy into the LGBT lifestyle.
- I am heavy into the S&M lifestyle.
- I've got a LOT of baggage.
- I have a fwb and/or sugardaddy and I have no desire to lose either.
- I am married.
