What do you mean by working less hard? Finishing the same amount of work in less time or just not doing as much as others? Because those are two very different things that can be covered by your question.

Even if it's the same amount of work in less time, I'd give the guy that's not as smart but still completes the work just as much respect (if not more than) the guy who's smarter and takes less time to finish it.

I meant working less and accomplishing the same amount.

Working less and accomplishing the same amount is the idea of what some people have called the "new rich" where your worth is based off of time rather than money. I would much rather have a job and make 80k a year, work 10 hours a week and be able to work from anywhere in the world than work in banking making 250k and spend 80 to 100 hours a week in the office.

Maybe I have been reading too many Eddie posts. I started to regret working too hard in college.

For dating, yes.

One trick for impressing women is eat junk when you are in front of them. If they ask what type of workouts you do, tell them you mostly do curls and crunches. This signals alpha male genetics.
