What kind of handshake do you normally give? For me it depends on whose hand I'm shaking. :)

    I refuse to make human contact with anyone I'm not boinking. I also wear one of those surgical masks everywhere I go.

    True. If I could afford a proper bank robbing bandana to use as a mask I'd be a happy man.

    Next!"

    I give "none of the above". I give a firm hand shake- no over cover of the other hand. And Just a bit of a squeeze.

    I hate the limp shake. That is how I determine if I take a job or give someone one.

    I always do the dead fish one... but then I always knew that before I read the article... I'm working on trying to change it... It's just difficult though. I'm not used to people shaking my hand. It usually takes me by surprise. Boohoo. :D:D

    what does a sweaty-palmed handshake signify?

    i don't shake hands
    i bow like the orientals of asia
    therefore i am ninja
    wanna see my sword :D

    Good to know! :p

    I'll start practicing! ;):D


    I guess I'm most like the first one but I do shake firmly, which often surprises a lot of older guys.
    NOPE!!!

    its better not to shake at all than give a limp one. nothing says erectile dysfunction like a dead fish handshake.

    I'll tell you this, if someone looks at their shoes while shaking your hand, I don't trust that person.
