What is this, the third thread we've had on this topic recently?
There are different kinds of "tough." Tough becuase you're a marine? A thug who won't hesitate to shoot someone? A fisherman? A lumber jack? Tough because you're a meathead who likes to get drunk and fight? tough because you're not scared of sharks? Because you're a boxer? Tough because you use sandpaper instead of toilet paper? Tough because you lived in a cave with no human contact for 20 years, and came out perfectly fine and healthy? What if you're a yuppie making six figures who enjoys creating pottery as a hobby, and who also is a black belt in some form of martial arts? What if you're a boxer/Lumberjack/meathead/marine/survivalist/10 time heavy weight boxing champion, who eats nails, and who also likes to cross dress and call himself Sally? Are you no longer "tough" then? What if you're a hardened homicide detective who likes to drink coffee and discuss poetry? Or if you can handle -20 degree weather in shorts, but you're deathly afraid of any animal with 4 legs, as well as midgets? Are you not tough anymore?
Bo jackson use to break bats on his knee!! Charles Barkley terrorized the NBA at 6'6 and 265 pounds, he slapped Charles Oakley, fought Shaq slammed him to the floor and is a hall of famer at the power forward position!! Terrell Owens isn't bad either!!! Richard Petty either or Bear Bryant!!!
(sue me for being a homer, but a bunch of guys from the Kensington neighborhood recently beat the crap out of a known child molester because they thought the courts were too lenient... gotta love Vigilante Justice)..
Not that I see anything wrong with what they did but "a bunch of guys" beating up one guy is hardly tough.
But to answer the OP, there is no one area that has the toughest men and based on what the OP asked it certainly has nothing to do with being smart and rich.

This thread is really damn dumb.
How tough you are is all dependent on the individual not the environment.
I grew up a roughneck country hillbilly from northern Appalachia. Does that alone make me tough? No, the fact that I can stomp ass when needed, and mentally cope with dire straights makes me tough. XD
Farmers are not the physically toughest because most of the rough stuff is done by a machine or an illegal immigrant
Only Alaska's eskimos are tough
Blacks in SoCal are tough because they are engaged in a race war with the mexicans
If you wanna make it in NYC, being tough just rubs off on people the wrong way unless you are mobbed up, in fact, you can almost say that you have to be a arse kisser to be a successful on Wall street
Anyplace where manual labor and the elements play against each other breeds the toughest people.
