How hard do you squeeze the hand during a hand shake?

Honestly I know some people act like squeezing too hard is lame but people will always prefer that over a limp fish shake. That chit actually makes some people mad.

I always try and squeeze as hard as I can until they react. Then I go back to standard firm.

Op judging by your posts and stories you tell we can confidently say hand shaking should be of no concern to you considering handshaking is a form of respect

Everyone fukkin hates it when you won't let go of their hand, a single shake is enough.
If you squeeze really hard you just come across as a try hard *******

Firm but brief




A more difficult question is how hard are you supposed to shake a women's hand. That chit is a little more perplexing.

Not too hard. I keep it loose enough so I can use my middle finger to stroke their palm as we shake hands, never breaking eye contact
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, nonsubjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

My mom is in a position where she meets a lot of people. It may be her 100% swedish viking genetics, but she ranted to me one day about how men are turning into pussies and limp wrist shake hands and they talk like queers to her now. Srs. So the whole men turning into soy boys is actually pretty true.

So a firm handshake for females too. But not so much you crush their dainty little hand.

I give a firm grip and single thrust then disengage. That suffices for about 95% of encounters to let them know I'm not phucking around with their time/money but not a try hard ******* either.

When I encounter an individual who persists after my attempt at disengagement I pull them close, and squeeze more tightly then them while thrusting at a frequency greater than theirs and laughing and/or smiling during the ensuing dialogue. If this is a business connection, I immediately file it under "lol" and do not continue to do business with them unless they give me a strong reason to justify their domination shake.

I'm not about handshake oneupsmanship because its pretty ghey, but if you're trying to play that on me boyo, gonna have to rek you for being a tryhard copecel.

Only really noticed this kind of behavior among those who have blatant physical flaws like small hands, small height, or small earning potential.

Shake firm, like a man, but don't make a show of trying to prove your strength or you'll immediately turn the other guy into an adversary.

A shake should say "Im a solid dude, and would make a good friend". Not "I'm a tough guy who's got something to prove". Also look another man in his eye, never in a confrontational way but in a warm, open, friendly way. That say's "I'm trustworthy". A guy who doesnt look you in the eye is hiding something...also if he glares in your eye that shows hostility.

You could tell alot from a shake.

I don't stop squeezing until the other person verbally acknowledges that I'm hurting them. At this point I squeeze harder until I bust and I maintain eye contact throughout.

Always grab the fingers (close hand super early) and squeeze until you hear cracks.

Delay closing the hand to ensure you dont get fish fingered.
