Thumbs up Hand shaking

How are you supposed to shake a girl's hand?
Manly shake like with any other men or soft-touchly shake?

(the girl is smoking hot)

I think there was a thread about this earlier, but whatever.

Anyways... when shaking a girl's hand (according to Emily Post if I remember correctly) you're supposed to meet her grasp with the same firmness that she clasps your hand with. You don't want to give her the death grip, but if she's giving you a firm one, you don't want to return it with the dead limp fish grip.

Also, you should only shake a girl's hand if she extends it to you. You never extend your hand to a lady cause it's intrusive. If she wants to touch you, then she'll reach for you. (Although most chicks these days aren't aware of this.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Like with any other man so that the girl knows what she's at.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I think MetheGelfling's got it right, especially about not giving her a death grip. I know that when guys give me a handshake and crush my hand I always want to punch them in the face. It comes across as very rude to me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Pretty much like Melfing says it. Apply a similar, or equal to, pressure.

I hate it when guys give me weak assed handshakes, it's disgusting. It's almost like a limp cock.

Just give a good strong handshake, make sure your hands aren't sweaty (personal pet peeve) and don't hold it for too long, otherwise it's just awkward when she has to break the handshake.

I usually grab firmly for a sec and then to how much she has grasped mine. As a result, she know how confident I am, but at the same time, realizes how gentle I can be.

Seeing as how my previous post was deleted (good job GFF-staff, it was well deserved!) I'll try to be a bit more serious :

I usually make no difference between shaking hands with a female/male. A firm shake is the only way to go.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't like shaking peoples hands...it seems so impersonal...
then again, I don't like to get too close to people...
but I like Vivi's answer

I only have two types of hanshakes. Firm and OW.

It's the way I was raised to give the death-grip type handshake. And it seems to be common locally. I'm the type to judge someone on their handshake. Someone who is limp typically has never done farmwork (as most folks in the biz prefer deathgrip!). Also, whenever I shake hands, I can feel if their palms are calloused or not (showing me if they do labor often, etc) amid other things.

I hold back for girls, but geez. I'm not used to it. I often extend handshakes to women, as it is a common greeting according to how I've been raised.

This one gal I met at a conference shook my hand, and it was the firmest handshake a girl ever gave me. I shook her hand upon saying goodbye and gave her my deathgrip one and she complained (jokingly). I can't hit a middle-area >_>

Yes, I would say that MetheGelfling got it right. Seems like the best thing to do. Of course, I don't usually make physical contact with a girl... Hm.

>_<

You wouldn't like my handshake then... my grip is very, very weak, and my palms are baby smooth. The hardest work I do is moving sliders on a mixnig console.

Doesn't mean I'd think any more or less of you if you had done farmwork =p Judge is a harsh word I suppose. Moreso like I "predict" things about folks. The farm one being an example.

Can you tell the difference between farmwork callouses and other callouses? My hands are all roughed up and gross from weightlifting, but I've never worked on a farm. I figured it's best to not have baby soft hands if you're a dude, but guys should still keep their hands clean and their nails trimmed. I suspect that girls check out a guys hands without thinking about it.

Well, if you work on a farm and do enough labor, you'll get callouses in other spots. I lifted weights from when I was 12 clear up until I was 20. You get callouses in only a few spots on your hand. The proper amount of labor puts a good deal of wear & tear on your fingers. Typically, breaking them a few times will do that =p Lifting would put lotsa blisters and callouses, but farmwork would literally gash them up quite badly. Laying out barbed wire, moving and cutting sheet metal, etc.

Plus it's easy to judge whether someone is a lifter or a person who works on a farm. Some dude with a large-gauge loop in his earlobe, shoulder-length hair, stick-legs, and biceps like Schwarzenegger isn't the type you'd see on a tractor. Then we move along to dress-style and footwear...

Plus, there's also the oh-so-famous farmer's tan. Along with a certain amount darkness to the tan. My old man is caucasian, but he's got almost dark-red skin due to all the time he's had out in the sun. Head, neck, and arms only o'course.

I'm guessing it's long out of style to greet a girl by kissing the back of their hands?

How ya doing, buddy?

I usually give a firm handshake if a person extends his or her hand first, and I don't have different grips for either gender. Not many males have given me a weak handshake before, but many women have.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I only shake hands if someone else reaches for mine, i am not too firm or light.... it is hard to tell anyway seeing that the handshake only lasts for 3 seconds.

If the other person reaches for my hand, only then will I shake. There is some kind of unwritten rule about this.

When I do shake hands, I make sure that it is firm, but not crushing, nor like a limp fish. Somewhere in-between the two is good.

I've never shook hands with girls that I don't know, let alone I don't even like touching strangers period.

I've extended my hand towards the ones that I do know and they returned with the firm hand. My hand shakes are often just firm too. I only shake like once or twice and then let go.

Hmm usually I don't know why but around here or atleast in my area of Wisconsin usually you have to extend your hand to anyone(Male or female) and or arms if you wish to hug the person.

But as others said, not limp and not too firm but I like what Musharraf said.

I cradle her fingers. It's polite and it's an easy way to get a quick rub and maybe a sniff. Makes her feel like a lady. And she does deserve to feel like a lady.
