Man: Firm hand shake. If I find a "dishrag" I know that the person is either a speed bump or I am about to get a run for my money. Woman: A little less firm but still stiff in the forearm. I am more than happy to help with physical tasks only because men usually possess more upper body strength. Other than that I run my game just to the point that she has no option other than act as my equal. There is no room for disrespect, show respect.
i say something like, "hi, how are you, nice to meet you" i dont usually hug them unless they hug me first.
I hope they say “Hi ” – so I can say “Yeah - I guess I am” or, “I wish I was”! - If times are bad! < Peace + Love - Save the Planet>".
Well, for straight men I say " Are you a liberal? " If they reply yes, I take out my gun and tell them to shove their fist up their ass. For gay men I ask, " Are you the pitcher or the catcher? " Regardless of their answer I say, " Oh, okay, nice to know " and then I shake hands and introduce myself For gay women I ask, " When you dance with your partner, who leads? " Regardless of their reply I say, " Huh, " and then I shake hands and introduce myself For straight women who are grotesque in appearance I say " Excuse me " and leave For straight women who are average in looks I ask " Are you a Liberal? " If they reply yes I say " Excuse me " and leave For straight women who are mildly attractive I ask " Are you a Liberal? " If they reply yes I ask " Why? " Whatever their reply I lecture them on how idiotic liberalism For straight women who are extremely attractive I do the following: Pull out my penis and ask of them what they think of it If their reply positively I ask them out on a date If their reply is negative I tell them they dropped their credit card and as she goes down to see ( I'll drop a card of my own before telling her this while distracting her ) I give her a nice good smack with my penis. :jester:
I'm still laughing that was crass but bloody funny! Being in the UK and being a guy, my standard greeting is just a warm smile and hello, perhaps with a nod. If people wan't to shake my hand thats ok too but if they hug me then they'd better be genuine about it because i hate hugs when it's just for show, ...genuine hugs are welcome but mostly a genuine hug is with someone you already know.
depends what kind of person i'm meeting, if they act like i'm not there then i generally wont say much, but if they say something to me then i'll say hi, but i don't shake hands unless they offer.. and i've never had someone that doesn't know me come up and hug me, though that would be pro
usually i say hi and how are you? and such questions, trying to get a conversation going. if a person reaches out their hand, of course i will shake it. but i generally don't offer a hand to shake, because i don't really like shaking hands. it makes me feel too polite and stiff. if it is some one in my family, even extended, then i will definitely hug them. but afterwards, after the first time meeting them, then i will hug them more often and have more body contact, etc. i would love to hug everyone the first time we meet, but some people are really put off by it. i don't know why, because i love giving and receiving hugs. but i wouldn't want to a person to get a bad first impression, so i save the hugs for maybe the second or third time, or whenever time it feels right
kick them in the balls and spit in their face! really though, it varies with the individual person and, what is most confortble for them.
