| Bye bye bye, sushi shunners |
"Raw fish feels gross in my mouth," he'll say, squirming in his seat. Well, then don't have raw fish. Have the shrimp or the tofu or the miso soup or the terriyaki or the tempura. When I rattle off his options, he shakes his head, holding his ground. "I don't like it. It's not for me. Let's just have Chinese food or something."
He's gonna turn his nose up at all Japanese cuisine now? What the hell? Japanese food in all forms is delicious and he's wrong.
Honestly, I couldn't see myself settling down with a sushi denier. It would never work. I'd crave a kickass spicy tuna roll and he'll be rocking in the corner babbling about the texture of raw fish in his mouth like a big baby. Who needs it?

Out here in PDX, some of the food carts sell Mexican fusion sushi which has Spanish rice and beef. Manly enough?
I hate it too when people don't want to go to a Japanese restaurant because they don't like sushi. Get the boring beef teriyaki, then, you pussy!
On a first date with a very smart, cute (think Tobey Maguire) engineer to be... i was in formed that he didn't like condiments. So much so, that after learning that a sub sandwich he had been enjoying had guacamole on it, he refused to finish the sandwich. Sigh.
If they don't like sushi, order them a bowl of rice and have it topped with some eel (unagi). A definite winner.

I totally agree with you on this one. Men are such babies
lol. I don't eat sushi (I'm allergic to iodine so I avoid all seafood in general) so I have the opposite thing. People are really big on trying to force me to eat sushi, "OH! just try it, you'll like it!" when I say I don't eat it. I don't care how good it is, the hives just aren't worth it.
I love sushi but have never known how/what to order. So, I only ever go for sushi when I'm with a strongly opinionated woman who won't mind ordering for two. For a native Midwesterner like me, sushi has always had a certain exotic appeal, even when I recognize the name of the species or have caught something similar with a rod 'n' reel. Perhaps best of all, the tininess of many sushi places often creates a friendly intimacy that can work to your advantage. The sushi itself provides a ready-made tease for later, in the event that you have an opportunity to wonder where that unique scent is coming from. This post, along with foobooz.com's recent reminder of Zento's in Old City, has given me a craving for sushi. Must be the spring-like weather...
