The Handshake...

[steve45]

Is there anything worse than a floppy, weak, cold and damp handshake?

What is it about the "Handshake"?

I see it as the first impression, the gauge of a persons personality, there is something primal, yet at the same time something refined, so much can be said in a handshake, it straight away asserts a social order with nothing said, its brief and simple, yet beautifully complex.
personally I find it a good gauge on a person and i find a weak handshake grotesque, and something that clearly plays on my mind, so much so that three days on from the experience i feel the need to discuss it.

Anyone else feel the same way?

I think you have a weird way of assessing people....

This. You can't weigh a persons character from a simple handshake. People who think this are deluded.

May not be a true representation of a person, but first Impressions count!

I don't know why but i feel almost violated when someone basically strokes your hand when you shake theirs.

Makes me shudder just thinking about it.
