Exactly what I was thinking. Job interview, meeting your girlfriend/boyfriend's parents, and being introduced at family parties are the few times where I feel comfortable with a firm handshake.Quote:

Negro clasps are always fun.
yea i guess a firm handshake shows how much "heart" u have as a man
i hate it when you get that limp hand shake from somene when they barely grap you hand, automatically makes you a punk bitch

I've allways been taught that a firm hand shake is very important. I hate when some one shakes your hand and its limp. A handshake truly tells a lot about that person. My Dad hated my sisters x-husband the moment they first shook hands, the guy hand a limp fish handshake.
The funniest thing is when you see a huge guy, then you goto shake his hand and its like shaking hands with a little boy...its sad really lol
LOL...I didn't realize so many of you put that much into shaking hands.
I usually wait to at LEAST talk to them first ya know...
And yeah, if a person tries too hard and squeezes my hand like I'm some child, THAT would make me think less of them.
But then again, Hank Hill hates a weak handshake, so maybe I'm in the wrong here. :jointsmile:
uhuh, bobby! you bad boy!
I'd have to agree with a lot of people here and say 10. My father stressed the handshake quite a bit.
yeh i heard that ;)Quote:
It's always good to have a fight and end it with a pint of larger and a joint in the car on the way home.
Which is why i dont understand people who go out pickin fights for no reason, havin a little punch-up with someone you know is fine, just as long as its friendly rivalry, when i have to fight people i dont know its different, usually if i am in that position i have the mentality to fight for real, then afterwards i look back and think 'why didnt i just walk away'.. i have two sides, one side of me wants to be an ideot, and wont let me walk away from a fight, and the other side of me is just a normal kid tryin to change...
its hard to know what im really thinkin, my brain will be tellin me to do somethin, but i wont be sure if thats what i REALLY want to do... maybe im crazy... mwahahaha...
personally i couldn't really give a shit about handshakes i rarely ever need to i mean like if its a job interview or somethign with my new boss i make sure to give the firm handshake and shit but personally to me i couldnt give a shit if someone had a weak handshake
Lol, umm, who cares? As long as you shake my hand at all i'm fine. I prefer a laid back shake as opposed to some stupid, defiant grip. Some guy did that to me once and I was just 'what the fuck are you doing? Let go!!' :D
I'm a bit like that. I dont really like fights, or arguments, but my pride is too much and i cant back down. When someone starts something with me i make sure i finish it. I think i got that from my dad though. The bastard. - I'm fucked - i dont like fighting yet i do it every time i get the chance.Quote:

[QUOTE] hah man i think its a Texas thing bc everytime i walk into a party i gotta introduce myself and give em a handshake. I was in florida partying last year and tried to do the same thing, they looked at me like i had no head or something...oh well. Also i was a used car salesman for a year and a half, i could tell wether or not i was gonna sell you a car that day by your handshake.
No, MY balls are bigger than YOURS.
In Florida, everyone crushes your fucking hand till it oozes blood and bone marrow. But in Texas, out of the entire state of 10 Million people , not one person knows what a hand shake even is. They sniff butts. Its true, I went to this party there.
if a person doesnt put anything into the handshake then i think less of them right off. it is a first impression, you dont crush their hand but you let them know youre there. like if you dont even grip my hand i assume you are a failure as a human being. but if you snap my bones then i think you are trying to hard. better too strong than too weak though thats for sure a limp handshake is a death sentence
^lmao.... negro clasp... that's classic :S2:Quote:

I agree , that a firm handshake is the best first impression that you give to someone.Limp wristed ,dishrag shakes are considered to be lame imho.
Yeah some dudes over do it and squeeze the hell outta your hand or grab you by the fingers and snap em like twigs.Generally these peeps are overbearing bullies.
Back in the day some guys shook by interlocking thumbs with facing palms with forearms at 45 degrees.This was considered a cool shake at the time.
But the old fashioned way is the best.
Me, I don't give a shit how well somebody shakes my hand. There are waaaay more important things to judge somebody's character on. It seems important for other people, but I just don't see the point. If you're going to judge me based on how well I perform a medieval hand-oscillating tradition, then I couldn't really care less what you think of me.
You want to show me respect and get me to like you? Don't give me a firm handshake; give me a firm hug. Hugs > handshakes, any day of the week.
haha Hugz.
"hello, my name is xxx and I am applying for a administrative position. Would you like to engage in a hug?"
Go administrate yourself.
you aren't very nice, frenchmen.
If that were an acceptable way to start an interview, I would like that a lot better than a dumb handshake. Especially if the interviewer was hot. :rastasmoke:Quote:

But yes, its so clean one would assume showroom, as it is show quality.
Last time i met a hipster beatnick, I didn't ask him whether or not he was french.
EDIT: french or not, im labeling it french and thats what I plan on callin' it.
Damn, all this guy/woman does is argue with people and bitch about their views. Never seen him/her make a positive comment, must be from all the blue-collar redneckin' on the ol' farmland, ya hear!Quote:

At least you're behaving yourself today, unlike yesterday - you know what I'm talking about.Quote:

If I remember correctly you even had to go tattle.
tsk tsk
Surprised to see such an exceptional example of a "real man" go "tsk tsk". I guess that you're just expressing irony. Will wonders never cease?Quote:

I would have named a place and time, but knew you wouldnâ??t have shown up. When push comes to shove, they (big talkers) never do. :cool:Quote:

Valkyrie, I like the car. Very nice work. I've always had a little summin' summin' for American muscle.
Shoulda coulda woulda. Dangerous territory there, stud.
Sorry, I'm not posting here for your amusement. :thumbsup:Quote:

Thanks. Its a 67 mustang. 302, carbed, 3 on the floor. Black on black. 15mpg (not too bad) Even put A/C in it last year. Tinted windows, beautiful stereo. My dad taught me the basics of mechanics and I went from there. plan on keeping it my hobby rather than my work.
Its been driven in about 30 different states. Once broke down in the holland tunnel.
I was shaking like a leaf. :DQuote:
