I would say more general rather than serious without the Around.
But the "around" one can be used in a general terms too.
It all boils down to the context it is used in.
Like you could say;
To a Child - Stop messing around with the Tv.
About a Man and a Woman - Yea I hear those two have been messing around with each other for a while now.
Hope I didn't confuse you even more.

They mean the same thing. Just one less word to say.
When the "Around" is used, it is usually to say someone is fooling/playing around with another person in some way. Most often in a Sexual sense. But it can be used playfully as well.

@IslandEmpiress oh, so with 'around' it's more like playful or sexual, while without "around" it's kind of more serious??
