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.
Bro I don't know how to tell you this but rurals be fucking and it's not always pretty.
You're going way too pseudoscience buzzword bullshit on this, villages of 500 people did just fine historically and "small towns" in America are about 5000.
