Sitting next to me was one of the regulars with his young child. Nice to see a 5 year old keeping up with the adults on the breadth of sushi...and long hair. Not quite mid-back yet. Sounds like the long hair is his preference, which dad supports. Certainly, dad didn't point out my hair in a non-positive way!
Its very nice that mainstream opinions are getting more open about this ;)
It's great to get a positive response. On a recent night out, I was told by a group of women that my hair looked amazing. They spoilt that by then saying I should get it all cut off and donate it to a hair charity.
I have encountered the same situation regarding women. They will comment on how nice my hair looks, and then suggest that I donate it as well.
I don't think I've ever heard of a woman being complemented on her hair and then being told that she needs to donate it.

Don't worry, it seems to just as prevalent a greeting to long haired women as long haired men. And just as offensive.
What annoys me even more is that they get offended when you say, "Why would I do that?" It's as if they think it's every longhaired person's duty to chop their hair off and give it away.
Exactly! They should donate their hair, if they feel so strongly about the issue.

Ugh! Glad the LoL comments are rare here, although I hear them for time to time.
Hi(gh)!
So you are doing sushi also regularly? Fine! If it weren't that expensive here in Germany, I also would do it more often than just once a month... too bad that my loved one is strictly vegetarian!
Another question: was that a running sushi ("kaiten zushi") bar?
See you in Nipponspace!

Twice a week for a few decades at Ebisu. It isn't what I would call cheap here, but...during the bad years it was probably the thing that kept me sane and alive. We have a significant number of regulars who are vegetarian...the chefs know them and take care of them. The chef's skills are such that I would not hesitate to take someone with dietary preferences or restrictions there (absent major allergies or very strict food prep limits).
They are more in the traditional sushi bar, not quite a businessman's destination, but also not a quiet neighborhood bar. And NOT a classic Japanese strict sushi bar, but definitely of the small portions of very yummy stuff from bar, grill, or kitchen tradition. Many regulars, and the social tradition at the bar is friendly...a solo won't eat alone unless they prefer, and helping people have a good time is a common pastime for chefs and regulars.
They have all three legs of the sushi tripod - excellent fish, creative chefs, and friendly atmosphere!
I love sushi too, but my other half doesn't like fish or cold rice, so it's a rare solo treat for me.
