I can't say why anyone downvoted you, but reading your comment I noticed a few things:
1. Your use of the term running. You make sweeping generalizations about 'running' and the people who run but you don't even define what 'running' is. Is it long, low intensity work like running more than 10 miles? Is it short, high intensity work like sprints? Is it a simple jog a couple times a week? Is it a hard run? Running is a blanket term for many different exercises and exercise styles.
2. You seem to conflate exercise with 'running.' I hate running, but I really enjoy exercise. I love lifting weights, playing sports, and climbing. I don't ever feel pain when I do any of those unless something is very wrong. Discomfort maybe, but discomfort is not pain.
3. Your whole point is hinged upon a logical fallacy. You say that nobody enjoys exercise because nobody really exercises. If they were really exercising, they'd be in pain constantly, and therefore, since nobody enjoys being in pain (an assumption you made in your post) nobody enjoys exercising. I don't hang with a lot of long distance people, but all the weightlifters I exercise with will tell you if you're in pain, something is seriously seriously wrong.
4. Your presumption throughout the post. Take the last sentence. You say that anyone who enjoys exercise has to learn to enjoy it. What is the point of that sentence? Are you speaking from experience? Are you telling people they're not really exercising? Later in this thread, you say you can't relate to the responses. So why are you making sweeping assumptions about people if you can't relate to things they say?
5. You're empirically wrong. There are a handful of responses already with anecdotal evidence to the contrary of everything you say. Millions of people exercise every day and love it, and nobody disputes that exercise is beneficial. It's really hard to understand where you're coming from.
The post was odd and confusing. It came off as very presumptuous and arrogant - like you know something about exercise no one here could possibly understand. A good number of people who come here exercise regularly and have learned all about it themselves, and know from their own experiences that what you're saying doesn't make much sense.
