Very good advice from splendora.com (although I think 3-4 pumps is a bit much). I know of one man who is 10xs worse than any woman who's hand I've shaken. Ick!!!
NO LIMP HANDFISH!
A few weeks ago while we were having beer with the "dudes" (both men and women) the topic of limp handshakes came up. The opinions were unanimous: LIMP=WIMP.
And it seems that ladies are guilty of this tragedy more often than men. As a company that commits itself to ensuring that women will one day rule the world, we feel it's our duty to pass along these "handy" tips.:
1. Lean in for the shake. Don't just flip your hand up like a seal.
2. Your thumb should point toward the crook of their elbow.
3. After a quick downward glance for hand placement:
3a. Look the other person in the eye before, during, and after hand contact.
4. Engage the hand fully, palm-to-palm, and FIRMLY pump 3-4x.
5. You are not a cadaver. Show some life in your hand.
6. NEVER, never let someone shake your limp fingers.
7. This is not the Victorian Age. Don't present your hand, palm down, to be kissed.
8. Do not shake it like a Polaroid picture.
Please pass along these tips along to friends and help us eradicate this plague. Shake, rattle, and roll!
