I have small hands, but a pretty firm handshake. However, we had a meeting with a client last week, and this guy nearly crushed my tiny little hand. IMO, men really need to be careful when shaking hands with a female.
Oh, and I hate it when I give a firm handshake to someone, and the other person gives you a whimpy little one!
Wow, you guys have put a lot of thought into this.

That's because I must shake about 15 people's (mostly men's) hands a day at work. The worst is when we have foreign clients come in...and they feel the need to kiss my cheek while shaking my hand. I HATE anyone (other than my bf!) touching/kissing any part of my face...esp a stranger. I always feel the need to go wash my face with a bar of soap afterwards. And I hate having to kiss someone else's cheek also!

I do! Except it's Sweet Pea scented.
I always say err on the side of firmness when you shake someone's hand. I'd much rather have to apologize for accidentally squeezing their hand to hard than have them think I'm wimpy. Besides, if your handshake is too hard they might say, "Ow!" or visibly wince and you can immediately apologize and save face. However, if you go in there all noodle fingered most people won't say anything, they'll just silently judge you to be a sissy. And once you show a sign of weakness it's a slippery slope. Next thing you know others are mating with your female, pissing on things you've already marked as your own. Got to have a strong handshake.
I knew a professor who was famous for trying to break your fingers with his handshake. Guy was about 60 years old and a serious weighlifter/fitness freak. He would grab it and squeeze it until either you made a face (which always happened the first time) or until you squeezed back.
This was the same guy who, at age 60, beat the out of a student during pickup hoops because the idiot dropped the n word on him.
Women with a weak handshake bother me. Perhaps their trying to remain dainty, but to me, it comes off as insincere. I'm not a hand crusher, but I feel there is a level of politeness that emits from a solid handshake.
What REALLY creeps me out is when they give you the dishrag handshake with their right hand and lightly grab/fondle your forearm with the left hand...and then don't let go in an appropriate time frame. I really get the almost uncontrollable urge to punch them.
I draw the line when they take the other hand and move it up and down your thigh.
My reaction to that move varies depending on several different factors.
Pleased to meet you . . .
At least for you it hasn't been there since last night.:
What exactly were you doing last night that put that song in your head?![]()

Pleased to meet you

But whats puzzling you

I don't shake hands. I would prefer to have people salute me instead.
Too easy . . .
Agreed.
Perfect handshake for a man to give a woman, I agree..... but it has to be just enough to where she doesnt realize it...... its an art![]()
As far as man to man.... firm... anything else would make me question someones sexual preference. thats being honest. Granted there are times when the shake is off target, but still.... it creeps me out even when I do it (ie. four-finger grab).... I always find myself telling them "no, not like that, lets try that shake again".
clamy/wet hands suck.
The four-finger grab is totally gay.
The soft shake tells me they are unsure of themselves.
On the opposite side.
The guy who tries to squeeze your hand to death has a large ego or inferiority complex.
oh yeah..... Homey shakes are gay for first meetings, I dont care if P ing Diddy does it or not.
I hate when guys have the need to crush your fingers, and you especially tell when the dude thinks he's some tough . A man can shake another man's hand without trying to kill the guy, you can still give a solid, firm handshake.
Personally, I don't think it makes a dude tough in trying to break some other dude's fingers...I think it actually makes the guy gay, as if he's trying to impress the other man.
