"Lange Haare bei Frauen sind Schmuck, Zeichen von Schoenheit und in unseren Breiten moeglicherweise ein Hinweis auf Verfuegbarkeit", entgegnet der Mann.
My dictionary says "Breite" is "area." Which I would understand as "geographic region." But I was wondering if this was meant more like "circles" as in "social class" or just the friends/acquaintances this person socializes with.
Any enlightenment appreciated.
Thanks.

I see both of the above meanings in this sentence. Though I would decide for the first one. To me it refers to a geographical area in the first place.
