hahahahahaha, those handshakes are always hilarious in a subtle way. it's hard to pinpoint what's so funny about it, but i deal with a lot of handshaking everyday and a firm one makes all the difference. i tend to give people the questionable eye when they do that on some "huh?" type gesture. that will usually give em the hint.
try and reverse rolls on the limp-fish too on people you know ...the reactions are hilarious.
Is that the one where I go to shake your hand, but you make a fist to give me a pound, and I awkwardly try to adjust mid-extension, at which point you decide to accommodate my open hand style with a slap and snap, which I try to follow, but the snap doesn't quite work?

I thought that was the fifth element.
YES AND HIP HOP HUGS ARE LEVEL 6 ELEMENTALS SERIOUSLY WITH THE HALF ASS ARMWRASSLE HANDSHAKE AND THE ONE ARM ON THE BACK/SLAP GADDAMMAT I KNOW IM CUDDLY GO AHEAD AND HUG ME ITS OK
OH AND I LIKE HOW A HIP HOP HUG IS USUALLY PROCEEDED BY SOME SLIGHTLY MASCULINE HOMOEROTIC HIP HOP PROVERB LIKE "ONE LOVE" "GOOD LOOKEN" LIKE I DONT ALREADY KNOW IM GOOD LOOKEN
The dead fish handshake is so deeply disturbing to me that I have to shake hands properly with someone immediately thereafter to counteract the disgusting feeling it leaves me with.

Even better???knowing that they're easily pushed around, you just look them dead in the eye and say in a menacing voice "Now shake hands with me like a man."
I have a problem with both the dead man shake and the crushinator, BUT the WORST offender in my book is the motherfucker who doesn't look you in the eye when shaking hands. Instantly red flagged as a person with weak character or (worse) a person who cannot be trusted.

Dude....you just hit one of my pet peeves....
People who stare off into space when they talk to you....or worse...close their eyes.!!!

I find people who refuse to make eye contact extremely irritating. We don't have to gaze into eachother's souls but at least look in my direction when talking. Having said that I work with a guy with two lazy eyes and, after many attempts, I still can't work out which one I should be making eye contact with so I tend to either flit between both or choose a non judgemental point on his forehead.
personally i see nothing wrong with the wet noodle handshake. i mean, sure its gross and kinda lame and stigmatized with being weak or whatevers but it is a pretty antiquated gauge of character. i mean, with the internets and all u can easily be a antisocial recluse running websites about weird records that suck ( ) and live a completely productive life from say noon to 3pm. no, but seriously, this sounds like some corny man shit from like the 50s.

Doctor's most of the time give you a handshake like that.

I have been on both sides of the SWHS. Either way, I feel the pain.

If I was a doctor I'd be pretty reluctant to shake a patient's hands full stop - they're all ill and diseased.

pretty much sums it up for me too.
No offense, but you guys are on some basic level type shit here
Most people know about the whole eye-contact, firm handshake bullshit, so it is basically meaningless. Any truly shady fuck would want to hide his true shadiness by looking you in the eye, and gripping your hand firmly.
Dude that doesn't do this may not have the best social skills, but it doesn't mean shit if someone does this

Sorry to say, this would be an instant black mark against their name in my book.
This thread has so many pasue possibilities it boggles the mind.
Only ring he had on was an earring

It really does speak volumes. When you get that limp hand, you know you can pretty much dictate your will to that person, and they'll fall in line.
I disagree. I think it's often a "can you take this without complaining like a bitch about it" test.
The limp handshake creeps me out.
