  • Forced weak handshake...

    Wtf is up with this. The last two clients I've met with, they reach in all weird, hand already half-closed, and it forces you to do a half-asses finger shake. It's just weird, and it seems there's really no way to recover. Anyone gone through this? I've always been taught that for business meetings you give a good firm hand-shake; anything less is cause for dismissal.

    Anything less IS cause for dismissal.

    I'll request a redo.

    Jenn will flat out make you look like a chump if she gets a limpdick shake.

      Business or not, weak handshake = confidence issues, meaning they are a pussy

        I dunno, but a couple of days ago I went to shake hands with an older woman in a meeting and realized I could have crushed her hand if I was any more firm.

          Kinda like the handshake the bang bus guy gives?

              I've never shaken his hand, but I'll take your word for it.

                I cannot take anyone seriously that doesn't have a firm handshake. Women are immediately written off as dumb bitches, and I won't even deal with a man that won't shake my hand in proper fashion. They will get one, "Hey, SHAKE my hand properly," and if he won't redeem himself, he's totally written off as a chump.

                  I hate the early grab when the other person grabs your fingers before you get the web of your hand against the other's.

                    nothing worse than the dead fish handshake

                    if they go for the dominant thing and try to grab fingers, they're getting a real handshake

                      That's usually my most common call out. I'll give a man the benefit of the doubt, as many are taught to shake a woman's hand differently, there's no excuse if he shakes another man's hand like that, though. I've had one guy flat out refuse to shake my hand properly, so I flat put refused to acknowledge his existence.

                        I hate shaking chick hands - never know what the fuck they want to do.

                        Dudes just get a real handshaking and no problems there generally. Just women, shit. I go in mildly firm and try to adjust on the fly.

                          I've always felt weird giving a woman a handshake, I feel like I should be bowing and hand-kissing or something else other than hand-shaking.

                            Weirdist handshake I've had was when a man told me not to squeeze his hand so hard, I thought it was a joke until we departed with a handshake and he said it again with an attitude.

                              I was always taught that your hand should take hers gently and not extend beyond the woman's middle knuckles.
