What does it mean to you? For me when I call someone down to earth it's because they're non-judgemental, don't get caught up in drama, and are generally easy to talk to. What does the term "Down to earth" mean to you?

To me Doug, a down to earth person is someone who you can talk to about serious situations and also have a light conversation with. A friend who doesn't judge either for or against you. Might even play the devil's advocate to help you to see the other side of a disagreement.

You can trust what they say to be their honest opinion and you don't have to agree neither. What you get from a 'down to earth' person is from their heart.

it looks like Doug could mean "face down on the earth" which is sometimes how I end up too. Maybe you better clarify that Doug...

People tell me I'm down-to-earth sometimes, when I ask why the response is usually, "you're realistic" or "you're logical", so that's what I always thought it meant. I've also heard that term means unsophisticated, though.

One thing that comes to mind for me when someone uses the term is, "Buddhism". Just because it's about being righteous with people and not getting caught up in worldly possesions! I think the world would be a better place if more people followed Buddhism. Just my opinion though!

I agree. I know lots of people who practice Buddhism and they are the most kindess people and down to earth people you would ever meet.

I have done some research on it and everything and it was too confusing for me though lol

I am non religious so basicaly I only believe in what I want to believe lol
