some fuckin american i know did that to me... shook my hand like he was on steroids or somethin... i dont shake hands... im not the hand shaking type.. so when he shook my hand he nearly wrenched my arm off...

i didnt think any bigger of him, in fact it annoyed me alot... now if someone goes to shake my hand i'd rather shrug it off than have some little 'subconcious competition' with them...
Abattoir Dream Reviewed by Abattoir Dream on . How important is a firm handshake? When I was 5 years old, eye contact was the first thing my dad taught me along with a firm handshake. "you look a man in the eye, whether he is bigger or smaller than you. Stick out your hand into their space before they do. When you grab each others hand, make sure you are the one with the dominant hold. Look him in the eye and introduce yourself loud and clear." I can't remember how many times people complimented my dad and I when I was young. Noone expects a five year old to shake your Rating: 5
