One who believes that life should be lived as they like. Many hippies and hermits were idealistic, only this is only a portion. Morals may interfere with total idealism, especially if certain things were instilled in one as a child as being "bad". This results in guilt for doing "wrong" things, although some are able to overcome this and live their life to the fullest they think is possible. Urban Dictionary

Someone who acts, speaks or thinks in regards to how things should be, rather than how they are. Idealistic individuals are usually in total denial about the real nature of life and it's workings, instead espousing some kind of misguided oprah-esque, political correct nonsense instead. Urban Dictionary

Someone who thinks everyone should think like them, and that how they think is absolute. They are more likely to be called "delusional", even when they are right sometimes. They are also someone who's bound to be disappointed in the whole world after they give up on their endless pursuit of changing the world, even if their intentions are most noble. They are prone to using substances for coping up with the harsh reality they live in because it cripples their soul when they can't do anything about it. The average person can't survive as a 100% idealist. Some amount of realism must be adopted. Otherwise you're just a hippy. Urban Dictionary

"An idealist is a cynic in the making." --HL Mencken Urban Dictionary

Someone who is absorbed with living life the way they perceive it should be. They purposely overlook the darkness of human nature in favor of seeing everyone in an unrealistically good light. To an idealistic, there are no such things as bad people. There are only bad situations people are in that force them to act a certain way. Finally, an idealistic is someone who expects the best from people, not realizing that not everyone is willing to give up their time or money as willing as they are. Urban Dictionary

There are three types of people in the world: people who care, people who couldn't care less, and armchair idealists. Armchair idealists are by far the most annoying. These people love to comment and criticise others' appalling behaviour yet refrain from actually moving from their seats and doing something about it. This can commonly apply to issues such as the environment, world peace, starving children, etc. Urban Dictionary

These are the people on Facebook who like to bitch about poverty, war, domestic violence, child abuse, rape, bank robberies, starving children in Africa, liberals/conservatives, Democrats/Republicans, alcohol, drugs, pedophiles, computer hackers, the drug dealer next door, pornography, music, Devil-worshipers, endangered animals, racist jokes, holocaust jokes, religion jokes, political (in)correctness, religion (or lack thereof), animal rights, oppressive work conditions, sexual harassment, or how much their life sucks. Like most idealists, Facebook Idealists hardly, if ever, lift a finger to combat the perceived evils in the world. They complain because they can't be bothered with finding, or lack the intellectual capacity to find real world solutions to humanities, or even their own, problems. In essence, they're whiny little idiots. Urban Dictionary

An artist or actor who always use the same crap about peace, love, ecology etc.in songs or movies to make conscience, but doesn't practices what he preaches. He has a rich lifestyle, divorced many times, and consumes products and services without thinking in global warming like everyone else. Urban Dictionary
