WOOOOPS! I own this one. I mixed this thread up with the living with Mom thread.

There's an age old economic/employment debate brewing here.... recall.. this is about relationships.

If they CAN, why wouldn't they? If they can attract and retain someone with experience why would they settle for someone without?

I answered this differently than that, I guess. What I want from dating is fundamentally different than what I want from committed relationship. I would have a lot more invested in the latter. The former? Not so much.

Why call it an entry level position when it clearly isn't?

How did you jump from "owed dates" to "give it up"? I've never made any connection between dating and giving it up except perhaps in the context of an intervening relationship.

As a cynical observer, I see a lot of blame to go around. Whiny guys are certainly to blame and they are annoying but they neither exist nor whine in a vacuum. They exist and whine in a desert of sorts while many women are feasting with an ocean of happy options, and, dare I say it, their own sense of entitlement.

Most people have experience upon entry to the professional job market, or they should.

There is a HUGE, er, relationship between quality of employment and quality of relationship.

General work experience yes but not the specific experience in the field you are trying to get in which is what companies ask for.
