Default How to shake a hand?

Well, anyone else think theres way to many way to shake someone elses hand?

Theres the gandster/friends handshake

The normal business man handshake

And another gangster handshake

Theres been so many times were people go in to do one and the other guy does another one and it gets aquard lol.

Today I sold somthing, and the guy goes in for the handshake and he does one were it looks like im sopposed to kiss his hand lol, Im like, wtf am I sopposed to do, so I just did a normal handshake back...

ahhh!...usually I do the gangster/friend handshake just with friends. And business man handshake with everyone else.

firm business handshake is the way to go. If you have a "dead fish" handshake - you are teh ghey. Also, when giving a handshake you should be firm, but not too firm. It's not a contest.

I love the firm handshake. I usually try and do it pretty tight, not to tight, but tight enough to know that, hey..im incharge. Depends on the situation though.
