Do girls generally care if guys aren't "experienced"?

Anonymous
I'm 21 years old, I've never had sexual relations with anyone, never had a steady girlfriend, but I have kissed girls before (my last kiss was 3 years ago so I haven't had much recent practice :P). I'm always told by my friends (both guys and girls) that I should get some "practice" by dating girls that I'm not particularly interested in, because by their logic girls want "experienced" guys because they're better at dating in general (i.e. understanding women, sex, how to talk to women, etc.), before going for girls that I actually am interested in.

Personally I don't really care if a girl's been with other guys before me (but that could just be the virgin in me talking).
