Is there a distinction between a douchenugget and a douchetender? How about boneless douchewings or the proprietary doucheselects?

I like to curl my hand up like the butler from Scary Movie 2 when I go in for a hand shake

Not sure if a lot of people are like me when it comes to this, but I substantially evaluate someone based upon their handshake and initial presentation."

I, too, put a lot of stock into a person's handshake. You don't need the macho bone-crushing handhake, but you have to get in deep enough for the thumbs to intertwine. Then one solid shake should suffice. I try to look past a sweaty hand because hands just get sweaty sometimes. But if I get a weak grip or all fingers, dude just dropped down a notch in my book.

It would be so much easier if we all just bowed to one another.

If you're getting all fingers it's more likely that YOU fucked it up

Why are black dudes all into the shake/hug combo? I have a few Agents that I barely know, but whenever I shake their hand they pull me in for a hug. I mean, I guess that means they like me, but I don't know you like that bro.

I feel letdown when I only get a normal handshake from a black guy, like I didn't make the cut.

And they never do the regular handshake either, it's always the thumb grab

I hate weak handshakes.
I die a little inside when women give a weak one--step it up ladies! This ain't the 50s.
I also pride myself on compliments from men that aren't expecting my firm grip (twss).

I fell for a fake high five by a buddy of mines gf.

We had a conversation and when they left she brought her hand up like she was wanting to high five. So I went to high five her and she pulled her hand back. I still got a piece of her hand but it was AWKARD.


Still not sure what she was trying to do

I hate that awkward moment when you meet someone you kind of know, and it's isn't clear if hands should be shaken or not. I feel like there is like three seconds of looking out the corner of your eye at their hands.

I also dislike meetings of 5-8 new people and you spend 5 min crossing over handshakes with people youll never see again.

agreed, eleusis. It's not a fucking contest. I'm sure you and I could cripple most of the douchebags who pull this bullshit.

But a gentleman is discreet and discrete

I run a small painting contracting company and my paint rep is black. I am the picture of honky. I feel very uncool everytime we greet and I go for the regular handshake and he goes for the bro handshake.

I try to imagine that the other guy has fallen out of a boat and I'm going to help him back in. The handshake should say "I've got you. I won't let you down." Bonecrushing is a sure sign of men with weak minds. They have taken their drive for competition to mundane monkey tricks because they are not competative on the field of ideas. These men get to work as manufacturing engineers.

Weak handshakes indicate a lack of enthusiasm or commitment. Usually they are young guys who just want to go home at 5pm

With women, I offer my hand open and palm up. I allow them to take it, and I hold their hand gently and very briefly. I make eye contact and try to remember to smile.

In Africa this is how you signal to somebody that you want to have sex with them.
