Women Shaking Hands.

I hate shaking women’s hands because they always give you the limp-wrist or half-hand as if it’s a struggle instead of giving you a good firm handshake

Try Shaking A Lesbian's Hand.........I Did A Few Weeks Ago........My Hand Is Still In Plaster.......



Cheers Glen..

 

If I'm being introduced to a guy and they offer a handshake, I will gladly shake hands but thinking about it women don't seem to be into shaking hands with each other on first meeting. I might start to offer a handshake when meeting other women and see how that is received.

 

Now That I Think About It I Don't Think I Have Ever Seen Two Women Shake Hands..... :unsure:



Cheers Glen.

 

Ladies were shaking hands where I grew up, when I was growing up, so it's nothing out of the ordinary to me. I was always taught that a guy can initiate a handshake with a guy any time, however a guy doesn't extend his hand to shake unless they lady initiates the handshake.

Edit: a conversation outside of this thread made me realize that my post wasn't exactly stating what I was thinking...

Women shook hands with men where I grew up. I don't think women offered each other a handshake unless they just shook the hand of the other woman's male companion.

 

I shook another woman's hand in a business setting just yesterday. Kind of an odd thing to do, if you think of it.

 

No. I may have shook some female's hand once upon a time to avoid any hugs at the time, and I did not like it....so I don't do it.

 

I think men in the olden days, took the woman's hand, and either bowed to them, or kissed her knuckle!

 

yeah, women totally don't shake hands anymore. these days, whenever i meet a woman in a business setting, the first thing i do is shake her moose knuckle.

 

Culture has a lot of impact on greeting women..I found this a tad interesting!

Lofl!
I had to look up moose knuckle.

 

I hate shaking hands with men; I have arthritis in my hands, and insecure men feel the need to literally crush your hand to demonstrate just how manly and dominant they are. I've literally been injured shaking hands. Especially now in this time of plague, I greatly prefer to gassho and bow.

 

You do realize this thread is 4 1/2 years old, right?

btw I haven't changed my opinion.

 

This way, I keep my cooties to myself.

 

I don't doubt you at all but this sounds weird. A person's marital status, or availability for courting or marriage, or anything like that shouldn't play into how you greet a woman. But I know society is messed up to an extent and hangups make for neurotic behavior.
And what does a man say about an older single woman by greeting her in the spinster way? Telling someone they are destined to be single and never find intimate companionship is as good as telling them to go fuck themselves, no matter the gender.
