It definitely does in some way to a lot of people. I'm 5'5" (167ish cm) and skinny as a stick. I got plenty of crap as the "nerd" in school and my stature certainly didn't help. Though I'm probably a bit of an outlier. I think a lot of women do prefer taller men, which is fine. I personally don't care what height my partner is. They could be 4'10" or 6'1". I've got no hangups about it.
Though it does get me wondering where our concept of attraction to certain heights comes from. Even if physical attraction in itself is superficial by nature, it doesn't seem to me like height would drastically affect that (the other stuff you're attracted to) until you were freakishly short or tall. And I mean freakishly.
