Does playing hard to get really work?

No it doesn't work.  Unless he is chasing you, don't play hard to get.  Nothing in the world is more flattering to me than when a girl dresses sexy, attracts the other men around her, and then only pays attention to me.

I think it may work in the beginning bc the one being played may think that it's a challenge. However, playing games will guarantee a painful ending... there will always be a loser and when playing with feelings, the player will almost always end up being the loser.

The common misconception is that if you work hard you will eventually get promoted.  And as that is true sometimes, the person who usually gets a promotion is the one that asks.  The squeaky wheel does get the grease.  If you really want a promotion, then ask for one.  Make your demand nice, clear and exact.

That is a tough on.  You have just got to have will power.  Tell yourself that you can play all you want, guilt free, once you finish your homework.  I know that is easier said than done (I've been there and done that several times throughout my school career), but you just have to buckle down and do it.  Don't do that "I'll let myself play for 10 minutes, then work" bit, cause then you won't ever stop playing.  Just hide your games, and get them out of your sight, and when you are done with your work, go game.

fun fits into our work lives by means of easing into our working situations and taking off the pressures and daily routine of work and no play. we work seriously hard- and yet, it is good to treat ourselves and take time off work to pursue other leisurely actvities and enjoy ourselves. what we are entitled to do is work, rest and play- as the so-called saying goes

Well it all depends, sometimes I want it now so I just forget everything and go for it !  Other times I play hard to get, it all depends on the mood im in that day.  Sometimes I want it soft n romantic other days I want it hard n rough...its all about how my mood is that day.

There's a book by Robert J. Kriegel entitled "How to Succeed in Business Without Working So Damn Hard," http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0446526320/powerhomebizguid that says that the strategy of working harder-and-longer is not the only way to achieve your goals; in fact, it can even be detrimental for you. \n\nThe key to success is working smarter, not harder.\n\nWhile working harder works, the stress resulting from this strategy is enormous no matter how tough you think you are. It creates stress and limits the quality of life. Worse, this work style also hinders performance, productivity and creativity. The "run, run, rush, rush, race, race" is a great strategy "for not having a life," according to the new book.

Don't worry! I've been through the same thing. Show that you can play. It'll pay off! If your better than them, why should they care?

Well yes, if you feel you can afford to, or you would get dragged down a lot by a job you weren't passionate about. If you love your career, then your more likely to give more of yourself to it, and work harder at it. So doing what you love, and taking that far, can get you a lucrative career. So you have your cake and eat it too!!!

Oh, no, if you find the right work, it's so satisfying that you feel like it's leisure.  I was just reading in an old Premeire magazine about an actor who felt like acting was just like making mud pies -- easy and satisfying.\n\nAnd I think this goes for anyone -- even an accountant who is really in the groove gets a big rush out of making things come out right.  You need to have the right personality for your job.\n\nEven in leisure, you need to work at it to get the big satisfaction.  Is basketball much fun if you suck at it?  But if you practice, get good enough you can make some baskets and help your team, it's a lot of fun.  But it's also a lot of work!\n\nIf you listen to music for fun, that's OK and relaxing -- but it's more fun when you pay attention, compare it to other songs, sing along -- again, kind of work, but you get more satisfaction out of it.  \n\nI would say you can only find true enjoyment through work.  It's just finding the right match for you.

Hello,\n\nI try to accomplish set objectives to the best of my abilities.\n\nIf an objective is set which is unrealistic then it makes me want to work less as i know that i will never complete the objective in the time that i spend at work.\n\nIf i get an objective that is achievable then i do my best to complete it, as best i can, as quick as i can. If there is not a lot to do then i slack a bit, and if there is a lot to do then i work harder to try to lower that load.\n\nMy bosses can be quite harsh, and demotivating; and sometimes they can be friendly. When they are in a bad mood i just find out what tasks i have to do, then i try to keep out of their way...\n\nWhen i do a good job, i feel like i am a valued member of the team; and i feel that i have earned my wage and that i am useful. By working to the best of my abilities i feel that it will be easier to get future promotion.\n\nThanks

If you get your success through hard work, ambition, accomplishments, education, and effort than yes. Otherwise, no.
