Why Are Blue Blooded Bankers So Tall And Attractive?

For reference I'm an attractive, athletic guy who's 6'3, so I'm on the taller side by normal standards. In fact, my modelling agency always says that I'm an "ugly height" by high fashion standards and tend to round me down to 6'2.5 on their websites or on my z-card. 

I recently had the opportunity to work with one of the few remaining blue-blooded banks in London (you know the likes of which I refer to) and I was honestly intimidated by their juniors who were all made and 6'4 on average, with impeccable Barbour jackets and polished signet rings who walked around with an air of superiority and aristocracy. 

I get that they're a few years junior to me, but it is still nonetheless unnerving to have a 6'5 ex-Eton crew & rugby leering over you and talking down to you in Received Pronunciation with his chiselled broad shoulders with an impeccably tailored Oxxford suit, double Windsor knotted Hermes tie and a Breitling watch.
