      This is not a new observation for me, but my wife and I were just in Vegas for the weekend and it brought it right to the front of my consciousness, big time.

      Maybe it's because so many people make their living in Vegas with their looks: cocktail waitresses; showgirls; waiters; waitresses, etc., and it rubs off on the rest of the population. I know in the case of women - I know this for a fact, my wife confirmed it - that many women feel they "have to" look sexy just to fit in at all.

      Anyway, the observation is that there are an awful lot more "in shape" people in Vegas than there are anywhere else I've been or where I live. In a gym in Vegas, I'm just another bozo on the bus. When we moved back home to NJ, my wife and I both looked like world class bodybuilders by comparison to the rest of the local gym population.

      We used to see in the paper and elsewhere in the news the "obesity epidemic". I don't see much of that anymore, but I don't think that's because it's gotten any better. More likely the "news" is tired of hurting people's feelings..... I'm not saying there are no fat people in Vegas - and I'm talking about residents, not tourists - but there are a lot more fat people per segment of the local population in other places; and a LOT more "in shape" people per segment of the population in Vegas.

      What's your area like, and where are you? I would imagine parts of CA are similar to Vegas; possibly parts of NYC and other major cities, too...

      Never been to Vegas and its obvious where I live most people don't make money (directly) off their looks.

      Yes, I live in the west and I would say 50% are obese. Maybe even as high as 60%. 90% of people dont look like they exercise at all.
      If youre in shape, you stick out like a sore thumb because everyone else is fat lol

      What your seeing is a facade bud, Vegas is actually a very dirty nasty city once you pull back the curtain. The strip is an act...

      Warmer climates probably have more fit people. People in Michigan are more apt to drink vodka and smoke cigarettes while beating off to porn because its too cold to go outside

      I'm in the south and you get a mix of the two depending on the area. In some areas, you'll see more fit people usually dressed to impress. Then a lot of other areas where obesity is much more prevalent.
