You get sick cause you reject handshakes all the time. Exposure builds immunity.
(I never offer a dirty hand to shake, I even explain, but people know my handshakes are legendary so they are wiling to deal with filth just to have this epic palm be bestowed upon them)
A handshake is a window to your soul.

Well i don't get out much. I mean I won't out right refuse one, but i make an exception with him besides his hand shakes he doesn't give you a firm grip he does everything in his power to crush your hand and it's so awkward to shake it when his hand is always wet.

I handshake all the time. I do prefer the brofist though because I'm a bit of a germaphobe.

I know, that, but it's very friendly and they shake vigorously. So I just wondered if it was a culture thing or just the kid that I went to school with.itxaka said:
Personally I never kissed my male friends on the cheeks(I'm 20) not that I would mind,but handshakes is the norm here(Paris suburbs)G-Fex said:
France is a big country though so it may be different in other regions.
Female friends yeah kisses mostly, though you'll find some who shake hands instead :frowns:

People who aren't insecure have a relaxed grip. People who are insecure have a really firm handgrip (overcompensating). Never trust someone with a REALLY FIRM grip. Almost always a fucking idiot.Stabbie said:

In my experience this is most of the people who force handshakes and buy into this 'a handshake tells you so much about a man' nonsense. Jackasses they be.Always-honest said:

I think we all know the Top Gun high five is king:
I tend to stick with a handshake or the handshake as demonstrated by Obama earlier in the thread.

So... Uh... Why is the other guy completely nude? I guess gay pornography must be thousands of years old too then?soqquatto said:handshakes are thousands of years old. hygiene freaks and jocks will be swept away by history and the handshake will live on!
France here too, kissing my friends (male and female) on the cheeks, shaking hands with other men, women depend on age and status.Kurtofan said:

You cannot have both, SteveWinwood. Such a thing can never be.
You have no idea.Dynamite RIngo Matsuri said:
Seriously? I actually reserve the handshake for my closest friends, even though I seen them frequently, it's a sign of respect, like you're expressing that you're really glad to see them. Everyone else gets the nod/mini-cheers (if drink held).ScrubJay said:
Funny the OP says dont call him an old man when his youngness may be part of the reason why he doesnt get many handshakes... People your age dont shake hands much and even older people think u may not do that so they wont do that to you. U need to finder older friends and peers... Handshaking friends lol

You know at some point throughout the day, the guy on the right scratched his balls before he touched the other guys hand.soqquatto said:handshakes are thousands of years old. hygiene freaks and jocks will be swept away by history and the handshake will live on!
Just sayin'.
I hate when I go to shake someone's hand and they grab my fucking fingers. Learn to shake idiot. I also hate when people don't shake firmly. Sometimes it's as if I'm shaking a dead hand. Otherwise, in a formal or business setting people need to shake hands none of that fist-bump garbage.

In a handshake it's imperative to have a firm grip and be completely unclothed to assert dominance early. It shows that you're more comfortable in the room than they are.Dynamite Ringo Matsuri said:
I shake hands when meeting someone, or when prompted. I don't think I'll ever get used to fist bumps; I've never initiated one. Some friends/family go for the hug; I rarely initiate one, but have no problem with them either. I've never been outside of the US, and I don't think kisses on the cheek are a popular greeting here.
If you try and meet me with a weird hand slide whatever, you're just out to humiliate me.

Why do humans need physical contact anyway?
"Let me make sure I'm talking to a live human. Warm hand, vital signs check out, feeling of acceptance registered, now we can proceed."
