    I don't get it when people want to shake hands with all kinds of odd moves. Isn't a basic straightforward handshake enough?

    Why do you need multiple moves?

    How do you shake someones hand if at all?

    I shake a persons hand when I am introduced to them by a common acquaintance.

    A firm grip and look them in the eyes. I hate people who squezze my hand like they're trying to intimidate me. I just think they are assholes and treat them accordingly.
    The multiple move hand shake is for gang members and wiggers

    Most young people are wiggers these days. Hey, am I a racist if I hate wiggers? Because they are black people in white skin :D

    PS: I was one from time to time...a long time ago :mad:

    Normally, if its a guy with whom you are shaking, you must hold his hand firm and shake it confidently. If its a woman, you need to be a bit gentle. Also shake the hand ofthe person in the vertical way.If your palm is facing downwards, it means you are a dominating type of person. So never do it.
