Default you forgot...

if you're a chick you work at a nail salon, tanning salon or both...
and your dream is to one day own one yourself...

if you're a guy you take pride in wearing a wife beater 24/7 with or without a shirt over it
you lift 5-7 times a week and have smacked your mom or girlfriend when they asked if you were 'slimming down'
