Maybe if there is a group of people and you ask: does anybody here dislike
Pizza? or anything--

If one was to say I don't like Pizza-- or I don't like SUSHI-- then you are saying it.

He/ she likes/dislikes or detests Sushi.

"Do you like anime?" No I don't like watching anime? or Yes, I love watching Anime.

"I dislike violent films but I like comedies etc etc."


In speech one tends to say : Oh I don't like that-- or I really dislike Pornography-- or whatever the subject maybe.


My friend dislikes reading comic books. so referring to others you would not say don't like. You might say: He/she doesn't like (DOES NOT) or use dislike. No doubt expert English teachers will analyse it better for you.

He does not like eating fish. but his wife loves fish. so they eat it for dinner every Friday Luinchtime.

I really like playing golf. but my partner dislikes the game, so I always play it on my own whilst he/she chooses to stay at home.

Or:

" I am a golf widow- when my husband spends so much time at the golf Course. I sometimes meet my friends for a cup of coffee as none of us enjoy golf. In fact we all dislike watching, as it is such a slow game." We girls love to chat whilst we are in the cafe, but never discuss golf."
