    Never been around small towns? The selection pressure is immense.

    My camp is outside a town of 900 souls. Observe the people going in and out the local grocery/convenience store vs. the people at a Circle K in the city. Night and day.

    In a large population, you can be fat, plain, unstylish, whatever, still find a mate. Of course that doesn’t account for “the best of the best”, but seems to me “average” is quite a bit higher in rural areas, even given the lower income.
