I believe in a firm handshake. When I shake that hand of someone who offers a limp hand I'm like, WTF do I do with this? There's few articles on the internet about Adrian Peterson, running back for the Minnesota Vikings. He apparently gives out very firm handshakes do to his upbringing.

I think the fact that I don't give a firm handshake is probably just the kind of person I am as opposed to upbringing. My dad never once talked about handshakes (which seems weird anyway), so I just sort of figured it out on my own. But for the record, I wouldn't say my handshake is a "dead fish", I just wouldn't say it's firm.

I do feel shaking hands is a sign of respect, so I might be more likely to shake an older person's hand than a younger person's...not because I respect them differently but because I think the older person might miss a handshake more. I like shaking kids' hands when I meet children. I guess I'm passing on the custom...plus I like to show them respect. Quote:
I knew of no such standard shake/bump greeting method. I can see I've been missing out! You make it sound like thumb wrestling. Quote:
Can you? I am reminded, though, of how the older generation of male relatives on my mother's side, upon greeting female relatives, would greet not just by giving a cheek kiss, which I might have expected, but by actually giving a light kiss on the lips! I got surprised by that a couple times before I took evasive, cheek-turning action. It must be a generational thing. It felt much too personal to me.

I'm turned on by girls with strong handshakes.
