I've only been on this site for a short while, but I've seen a lot of men's profiles where they describe themselves as being very "laid back". What exactly does that mean, guys? Even-tempered, or just apathetic? Not easily excited, or just not motivated? Does it vary from guy to guy, or do guys already have a set impression of the term and how it applies that leaves women (like me) wondering? Also, I've seen some that say they're looking for a "laid-back" girl...I'm almost afraid what that means with respect to a woman.

"Laid back" is one of those profile cliches that is only there because it's in everybody else's profile. Usually, it's partnered with "easy-going," as in "I'm laid back and easy going," which is profilese for "I can't think of anything relevant to write so I'll just use what everyone else says in THEIR profiles," thereby perpetuating the practice. In the end, it's just laziness. If you think about it, there's really no need to write "I'm laid back and easy going," because no one ever says "I'm frantic and prone to sporadic outbursts of violence." Much like "I'm a fun person who likes to have fun," the appearance of "I'm laid back and easy going" is an indicator of someone simply lacking the mental apparatus to say anything creative or original. |

I have laid back in my profile, I just go with the flow, I don't get uptight, don't anger easy, not clingy and anal...I take it day by day, that's all I can do

Now, there's an answer. Spoken like one who knows...
