"But she's out of your league" Bad advice from girls?

[Rookie]

I went to Latin dancing today at my university. And it was great, approached 2 new girls and got them dancing with me straight away (a month ago, I would be too shy to even go to Latin dancing, so hey, progress
Anyway during a break I spoke to one of my girlfriends who I came with (i'll be very clear here, she is a girl, with a boyfriend. Me and this girl are just friends) and she knows that i'm not very experienced with girls so she tries to help me from time to time. She told me to talk to a girl and pointed at her. The girl who she pointed to was not cute. I mean really not cute, I'm trying not be judgmental and shallow here but she wasn't very attractive. And I was baffled by her choice. I looked at my girlfriend with an expression of disbelief and said "Really? Her?" She replied that I shouldn't go for cute/hot girls because I'm too inexperienced and that I should work my way up?
Do you think this piece of advice is true. As an aspiring seducer, should I not go for girls who are hot and socially calibrated but instead lower my standards? Normally I'd dismiss a statement like that but girls do figure out when a guy hasn't got abundance so I though what she said couldmake sense? What do you think?
And another broader question, should guys take and trust dating advice from girls?
Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this and takes the time to reply.

Actually I just found the article answering my own questions. Sorry for clogging the news feed. But one question that I still haven't found the answer to. "Is advice from girls in dating/seduction etc. trustworthy?"

^What Thedoctor said.

I do seem to get good advice from women that are in their 50s. As an example, tonight I was talking to this woman (50ish) at this Jazz bar, and dating came up and I was just like, "Yeah, I'm down to just dating this one girl now, as I had some flake." And she was like, "What? That's no good. You need to be dating many girls and in fact you need to have many girlfriends. You need to just take them to a cafe and back to their apartment." Dead serious this is what she said.

But besides these rare moments, the advice is usually horrible. It's usually too vague and nice guy-ish or it's too clueless ("Why don't you just text her like 4 times and tell her that you want to see her? It's so simple."). Even advice from lesbians is almost always useless for straight men.

Well, simple enough, don't take advice from girls.

Well thank you all for your replies. (and a special thank you from Franco who I am honored to hear from).
I do agree with what your saying entirely and have learnt my lesson from this. I did read the article by chase about lowering your standards and at first I took this as an insult. But now I see it as another opportunity to get better faster.
Again thank you.
