when someone says they're "easy going"?

Smooth seas only?
Hard to stop?
Push 'em and they slide?
You can run over me.
I'll forgive you.

I find this all the time and I don't even have a clue what it means. I've never used the term.

If I said I was "easy going" I'd mean . . .

if you don't like me, I'll leave without a problem.

I'm not kidding. Give it a thought and reply. Whatever the implication, I can't think of anything about my personality I'd describe as "easy going"

I think it means that they pretty much go along with whatever is goig on at the time. They aren't picky about stuff. They easily get along with everyone.

It's good. It means that they're not uptight.

I doubt that, it's more like they don't have too much of a problem with what's going on etc. So they just take things as easy as they can.

All it means when I say it is that I don't stress out over trivial bulls*it.

I just let things flow and I don't worry about stuff that I can't control.

It still ain't makin' sense. Even uptights won't make waves or be different. Sounds . . . boring.

kinda pacifistic! And not in the good and honorable way.

Boring is a word that has been used to describe me a few times.

I consider myself easy going. I don't sweat the small stuff or get stressed out easily.

I would say I am easy going, (but not boring).I don't like confrentation but I'm not going to let you run me over either. It means to me,I'm trying not to sweat the small stuff.Like water off a ducks back.

I think it means they don't stress easy


That interpretation I can see as worth stating as an attractive quality.

I'm getting some insight with these responses. It might seem strange to others, but I'm being serious when I say I'm not sure what it means. It's starting to make some sense. It's a confusing word-set to me.

I am dating a guy now who describes himself as easy going and laid back. He isn't boring, he is sweet and caring and considerate. The only thing I can find to criticize is that he isn't big on planning dates.

Sounds like you're the opposite of easy going. Worrying about exactly what it means, even after people have pointed you in the right direction!
