Does greater female skin exposure correlate with better male fitness?

I live near the coast so like most local girls I spend most of my summers lightly dressed. Nothing obscene, just flimsy short sun dresses, mini skirts, around town and perhaps a bikini on the beach or shorts and a tube top.

Now what I noticed was most of the local men were in decent shape, there is a few beer bellies but most men are in reasonable shape or clearly exercise.

BUT when I visited friends in Shrewsbury, which is far inland I noticed most women show a lot less skin. Longer dresses/skirts, more cloth on upper garment, and no shorts. As for men there were a lot more out of shape and by the looks of things many were on first name terms with MacDonalds.

Now I've done some research and there's definitely a correlation between female skin exposure and male fitness in the UK. So is that true in your country and should society be grateful?

I think its more a case of working out being more of a common activity in the area. Its like living in a area where things like skiing and mountain bike riding are a common activity, people who live in that area can gravitate towards both. Even how people dress in a area can be influenced by the way most people dress in the area.

I think areas where prople wear skimpier clothes due to be in warmer weather and/or living around a beach people tend to show more of their body so it has to be in better shape as oppose to people that live in cooler climates that cover up their body and don't need to be as in shape since their body doesn't show.

not sure...

over here, it does get stupidly hot for most of the year so that means more skin and less clothing too... but we're also gigantic and not fit at all, generally speaking
