Sometimes it's where the compliments come from. I get no shortage of compliments about my work, but those barely move the needle emotionally, I've always been a lot of labor for a lot of people, being recognized in that light isn't exactly flattering. In fact it's the only light I feel I get any recognition in.
Yeah, I imagine, it's reversed for many women. That they get compliments about their looks a lot, but would feel much more strongly about a once-in-5-years compliment on their work...
