I enjoy riding my bike. The out of shape part is a bit inconvenient. I'm exhausted and need a bit to recover and hydrate.
Yeah, that's part of working out. It's gonna be uncomfortable for awhile. But crying on the internet to get some fantasy feel good pity from strangers is not going to make your life better.
When I first got on my bike after years of not riding, my legs were sore and even my backside was hurting. I took a while to get back into it. Now, I can ride for miles. I can ride at least 15-30 miles a day easily. This stuff takes time.
With hills or without? IMO any lard ass can bike 100 miles in a day (and still get up for work the next) with only a few breaks on flat terrain (I did just that before my depression appeared @ 230 lbs)...
Biking up hill a bunch of times at 280 lbs...
Let's just say that after being sedentary (with poor dieting) for a while, even 5 miles with a bunch of hills will make you want to have a break before tackling more hills.
Same thing with me ive gotten no likes on there and im in a huge area[nyc]and im in decent shape i really have no where to turn i gues my face is hideous lol

Take some water and/or some other fluids with you when you ride. That will make it a little better for you, especially in this coming hotter seasons... depending on where you are.
You know it's funny, not too long ago there was thread about guys dating fat girls and most people were cool about it. But the OP mentions he's overweight and he's getting slaughtered. Double standard much?

No, not at all. Not even close to a double standard. Completely different topic and issue.
Here is a guy that is depressed, miserable, thinks he is gross and unattractive. So we're telling him to change those things... get in shape, get to place where he likes himself and he's happy as a person with himself and then try to date.
The "guys dating fat chicks" had none of those things going on. There weren't any low self esteem overweight women moaning about why they couldn't get a date and making threads left and right about how no one was ever attracted to them.

You lived a sedentary life, that is on you. Now it is on you to adopt a more active lifestyle. This complaint you have is nothing special. Nothing new under the sun. Of course you are going to get winded and want to take breaks. As a matter of fact, it is okay to take breaks. Your body needs to get used to things. This shouldn't be any reason to give up, unless you don't really like riding or something.
Just don't try to take on too much at a time. Start small, then move up.
Is it my imagination? You seem to spend a lot of time starting new topics about your inability to get dates, women have it better than men, etc, etc, etc.
Maybe it's time to focus on something else like a hobby.
Your constant depressing posts only assure that you will not be fit to have a relationship if someone does happen to show an interest in you. Change your attitude, because what you are doing serves no purpose other than to make you think you feel better. I have dated men with this sorry attitude and I didn't hang around.
But, I suppose I'm talking to a brick wall.
