I give firm (aka real) handshakes, which is apparently awkward for some people.

Here's my cold, soft hand for for you to grasp upon.
Do as you will with it.

I have noticed that a lot of men will give equal pressure that I give during handshakes. Sometimes I start squeezing harder to see how far they will go. I've pulled away with a sore hand on numerous occasions and give them a big smile.

I liked 90s guy who ready some Maxim article that said when shaking hands, rotate your hand slightly over the other person's to show dominance.

I have a firm handshake, but not too firm. I hate it when people come in with a crusher... Just as awkward as a limp one IMO

seriously though stop with the crushing grip bullshit.
I can tap the ends of a #3 captains of crush gripper and really think it's ultra faggy to try and injure people you meet out of some bizzare machismo exercise.

For the sane people out there: To avoid dipshits from inflicting any pain on you at all without resorting to fisticuffs, during handshakes raise your index finger a smidge and lightly touch the bone on the bottom of their wrist. This turns the lateral forces into longitudinal forces on the delicate bones in your hands. They can pour it on all day and you'll barely feel it.
You'll notice politicians do this during campaign time when they have to shake like a million hands a day.

This method can be hard-countered by a quick-gripping asshole who grabs your knuckles like motherfucking idiot, so to avoid this I advise a slow approach followed by a quick snap forward jamming the webbing of your thumbs together.

If you are still somehow out-maneuvered, shove them into some trashcans.

Next motherfucker does that to me is getting torn ligaments I swear to God

Firm handshaker and I don't consider myself to be an awkward handshaker, but I absolutely hate it when some idiot grabs my fingers instead of my hand and tries to crush them thinking it is a handshake.

I always wear my class ring so when someone gives me the crusher grip it hurts like hell. I end up having imprints of the lettering on my fingers.

I've had dudes who are obviously trying to squeeze excessively hard, but I've never had a stranger actually hurt me. That would be awkward.

I still maintain that was a top 5 all-time handjob.

I consider myself an adequate shaker. I just got back from India, and it was limp shakes all around. They just don't be shaking hands, I guess.

i have been part of a few awkward handshakes in my time. Most are due to the other person being an early gripper.


a bad handshake sticks with you for days too.
