I'm also that guy. And every time I say I don't like raw tomatoes someone pipes up with "Well you just haven't had a good one."
I promise you, I have had what people call a good tomato and I still didn't like it.

I hate all tomatoes.
Went to Italy on vacation and was like what the hell I'll try it here. Delicious, amazingly different. Normally tomatoes taste like spoiled ham to me (best way I can describe it) but not there
Came back home to the states.... Tried again, garbage.
No idea if it was dressed up, or freshness but yeah.
Having grown tomatoes in my garden for several years now, I get why people think regular store tomatoes are gross. Even the good looking ones are already dead. Their flavor only lasts maybe a week and it dies off quickly. There's nothing like a tomato picked and eaten the same day.
Add salt!
Salt and pepper on a fresh picked tomato from the garden! Heaven on a plate
Both are good. Both also cause a burning feeling from lower throat to bottom sternum that culminates with a stabbing sensation courtesy of Vlad the impaler straight through the back.
These are tasty bastards any way you eat them, but the heartburn and indigestion are increasingly not worth it.
Uh, you sure, you're not somehow allergic or something? I glug pureed tomatoes like there's no tomorrow and I've never had heartburn or indigestion from them.
I second this question. I get the same feeling with gluten. It's not the emergency type of allergy, but it inflames my stomach and intestines like nothing else.
