Seriously, people. Stop it with the limp handshakes. Tonight, I met a couple of people and they came at me with some of the weakest handshakes I’ve ever had the displeasure of shaking. No one will take you seriously if you are coming at them with nothing to the shake.
Have you ever seen that episode of King of the Hill when Hank is so excited to meet George W. Bush and Bush gives him a handshake so weak that Hank actually considers not voting at all? That’s really not much of an exaggeration on how people react to weak ass handshakes. I literally think less of a person if they put no power in their shakes.
In closing, people, seriously learn how to do a proper handshake. Navigating though life is so much easier if people respect you, and you’ll never earn anyone’s respect if you can’t properly shake a hand.

Fucking hate that shit. Some people just give you their hand and that's it. Something that is also equally bad is people squeezing before establishing thumb connection. You then feel like an asshole because they're shaking your fingers instead of your hand.

Now I don't give weak handshakes, but I have tiny baby hands so for some people I happen to give the same impression. That's why I started using a new way of greeting people that, without going too far into it, involves an interpretive dance and an extended musical number. Have you ever seen that episode of King of the Hill when Hank is so excited to meet George W. Bush and Bush gives him a handshake so weak that Hank actually considers not voting at all? Oh shit I remember that one, koth is godlike. |

That's typical of politicians and public personalities - they have to shake a lot of hands... It's just a matter of conservational economics. One person only has so much energy to act and act and act all day long... One of the reasons I can't stand politicians - all fake-as rubbish. |

You then feel like an asshole because they're shaking your fingers instead of your hand. I've never had anyone just squeeze my fingers, but when shaking a hand, I treat it like a power move and try to establish a dominate position first. A good model to follow on how to shake a hand to follow the example of President Donald J. Trump. He is the master of the shake.  With a shake like that, everyone knows you're the boss. |

I talk about this all the time. I think the problem is that many people don't shake hands, unless they they are at work. Many teenagers who graduate have the worst handshakes, and I have to teach them how to do it right. Others fist bump or high five all the time, so they aren't used to it at all. It is rare that kids are taught how to shake hands right. I always say that if it feels like you're shaking hands with a corpse, it is fundamentally wrong.
This is a great introduction to the types of handshakes that should be avoided. Although, the bone crusher is subjective, since some people are weak in general.

Dan E. Kool - That is the best handshake scene ever made. I can't even think of another movie that tried to show the great art of the handshakes in so much detail.

At the bar if you are meeting a new girl you like sometimes grabbing both of her hands and holding on to both of them very firmly, but without putting too much preassure, can make the conversation more intimate right of the bat, specially after midnight, you can then hug her, and keep holding hands, then pull her to another section of the bar also by the hand, and you are both basically hanging out already, when you already have enough of a connection you can just invite her over your place to show her your Arcade machine or whatever excuse you want. Then you can drag her out nicely grabbing her hand like you are her father, and it all feels normal because you have been holding hands often from the start. When you are at your place sometimes you may not do things right away if it is still too early in the night, if that's the case you can kill time chatting putting a movie or whatnot, but it doesn't take long before you are kissing already touching the inside of her thighs. Once you are inside of her you can grab both of her hands while you go deep, and just watch her eyes starting to blink rapidly. It is pretty nice. I highly recommend it.

stratogustav So what you're saying is you eat ass on the first date? That's admirable Well, it depends. Some girls are just not down to be penetrated on the first date no matter what, so this is when patience comes handy. The good thing is that waiting can add to the excitement sometimes. Also nowadays I'm not near as active as I used to be. By the way, anyone can do what I said. It is basically a choice. I have a friend who would bring girls to his place all the time, but he would not go all the way with them because of his beliefs. I tell him that he is being mean because girls are often expecting that happy ending, and he leaves them with blue ovaries. |

stratogustav Geez, mate! Aren't you afraid of being accused of sexual harassment? I live in Cali where all the SJWs congregate. You would think it makes it hard, but it actually makes it simpler. I guess you can say we have an advantage here. What happens is that girls here like to challenge guys, they like to get into witty conversations about politics, equal rights, etc., so most guys here try to get witty too, and they end up in very serious conversations, sometimes pretty much arguing, and hating each other. Now think about that exact same guy having those witty conversations touching a girl. Of course it is going to be weird. When I come along, I'm out to have a good time, and actually meet people. I mean if you go to the trouble to look presentable and drive from your house you may as well enjoy yourself. I'm not out to outsmart a girl or to make her see things differently, I'm not out trying to change people's mind, to look smart, or to battle them with witty comebacks or whatnot. I'm out to unwind and talk shit. People can see that, people are not blind. You see all these guys going into conversations all serious as if they are about to make a scientific presentation. Of course they are going to get burned. If you just relax, chill the fuck up, and have some good time, you are not going to get into these stupid conversations. When girls realize you are not there to fight them, of course they will go along, no body wants to be a party pooper, instead they want to join. So when every other guy is trying to be witty, but you are trying to be outgoing instead, it is easy to stand out. Never you will run into trouble because people know you are not there to win a fight or to look smart, you are there to socialize, and that makes you part of the group, someone easy to trust they can get along with. It just makes everything simpler. |
