When you shake hands with a man, does he respond with a firm handshake or the limpy kind assuming that you're a woman and don't know how to shake hands

Hopefully a firm handshake to show he thinks I am his equal...

There's a lot of men out there who have a limp fish for a hand. Personally, I think a limp fish handshake is unacceptable from both a man or a woman.

My last handshake was a limp fish handshake, whilst I gave a proper firm handshake.

I think a handshake says a lot about your self-esteem.

Come on peeps, make your handshake one that will be remembered for the right reason. Because the limp fish shakes will only be remembered for the wrong reason!

Just my thoughts....

handshake

Rarely do men shake hands with women here in Spain. In a professional setting yes, but if I´m being introduced to a man it is the customary kiss on both cheeks. I prefer the kisses actually!

If the man has bad aim and kisses your mouth can he use his tongue to find his way around back to the cheeks?professor rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
