"doing good" or "doing well"?

hi, teachers.

if someone ask me "how are you doing?"

should I say "I'm doing good."

or "I'm doing well."

or these two sentences both fine?

do they have difference in meaning?

thanks Emotion: smile

101210hi, teachers.

Welcome to Englishforum, 101210. 'Doing good' sounds more comfortable to my ears, not sure if 'doing well' is interchangeable.

If you want it to be grammatically correct, you should say "I'm doing well". But you'll probably hear "I'm doing good" more often than you should in spoken English ("doing good" is fine in informal conversation) - notwithstanding the fact that if someone is doing good, it literally means that he/she is a benevolent person.
