How important is a firm handshake?
Well the complexity of a handshake really isn't complex at all. Its not so much I judge a person, heck they probably are pretty good people if I the are a friend of a friend of mine.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't walk up to people in high school when I was younger and shake the death out of people. That isn't really natural.
But to me, if you can't look me in the eye and shake my hand like you have a single muscle (i know you do, everyone does). To me, that means that you are nervous that you don't have your daddy to hide behind or your momma to run underneath her sundress.
I think it deals alot of with age too. When you meet new people, you have to give respect to get it. I've met *alot* of $$$ people. Used to clean dove with Tommy Lee Jones....cleaned Mick Jagger's deer....met Rick Perry....shook 50+ peoples hands during an internship my freshmen year.
If you walk up to someone with substance and bring that weaksauce handshake, might as well not shake hands at all.
