It's also flat-out wrong. There are many skills and hobbies you can pick up in a month, or hell, a day. I recently started running some local D&D games, abd I am more than happy to teach folks new to the hobby, and it's very easy to pick up, especially with a supportive group of players & DM. (And given the topic we're discussing, I'm hoping that some of the people I play with end up becoming my friends - though they're not there yet, because as I've said elsewhere, it takes time and we haven't accrued enough yet.)
