That’s the key to a good handshake. You ever have someone grab your fingers and squeeze the shit out of them? They are generally the small or small minded men that want to assert dominance over you by showing that they can reach in and hurt you. All they really show is that they are insecure. Call them out on it sometime, tell them to shake your hand, not your fingers.
I absolutely hate it when I go for a hand shake and the guy gives a total limp fish. Especially when the guy overall appears to be someone who could clearly take me in a fight. He shakes my hand and I think “Do you have a poodle at home that you cuddle with or something?”
Give the dead fish guys a break. I have a friend who has arthritis in his head, so firm grips are painful to him. Of course, that doesn’t excuse non-arthritis wuss grips.
OMG this has just become my new favorite site. How to throw a tomahawk like a mountain man? How to throw a dynamite overhand punch? ROCK! \m/
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRST!!!
FAAAAAAAAAIL!!!
First FAAAAAAAIL!!!!! Only the second time…
That “web touch” part seems a little creepy to me for some reason.
I agree. “Firm Grip” with the picture would have sufficed.

I’ve gotten too many of the ‘limp fish’ and ‘death grip’ handshakes.

You have to have the proper attire, as well as the proper facial hair (as seen in this picture), in order to fully give a manly handshake.
First Handshake…

I just punch them right in the face. Good day to ya.
Did anyone else notice that it looks like Daniel Plainview is shaking hands with Bill the Butcher (without his top hat)?
I was thinking the same thing!
Totally!
