Do you judge a person by their...
 

... handshake?


:upsidedow

You have to, but always give them 1-2 times to see if once they were just unprepared

I'm a girl and I always judge men by their handshake. I hate sweaty one and the ones that barely touch or hold your hand. Sweaty ones are on drugs or sleazy and the ones that barely hold your hand are wimps and untrustful.

100% .. Its a very important first impression for me.

Umm, nope...

nope, coz it takes a lifetime to really know the person, and handshake cannot tell what kind of person he/ she is

very true... but doesn't it effect your first judgement about that person? to me, a firm handshake shows confidence, and weak one doesn't...

It takes a second for me to feel the person and the handshake will do it for me, I don't need a lifetime.

Handshakes suck, I don't want to touch your dirty hand!

its definitely a factor

i dont handshake really, i just hug them..even if i dont know them. How weird is that! :1orglaugh

Totally.

I'm a guy but I agree with all that was said here.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well said, but you didn't mention the mucho hadshake. Guys that are so scared that you might think that they are gay or something, in fact I'm not sure what they are scared of, but they always try breaking your fingers with the first handshake.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

nope .........

I dont judge by handshake because me being black, the handshakes vary anyway. I can look into ones eyes and tell if they are real or not. What really sucks is nowadays in America you are judged by how much money you make and not personality. If you dont make good money, no one will ever know if you're a good person or not.

Nope. :1orglaugh

nope.......

"you can see the weakness of a man right through his iris"

Weak handshakes definately tells something about a person, but it's just a factor. There is so much more than just a person's handshake.

I had good handshakes from poor as well as rich people. I've had the same with crummy ones. How sincere someone is has nothing to do with money and a handshake from my experience has been a very good measuring stick.

not at all

i judge everyone on how good of an impression of ******* they can do

I agree..same here :thumbsup

Nope. I'm sure respected and powerful people shake hands like a dead fish

No, usually their cock size :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Uhhhh, it's a Joke :(

the number one indicator to me is how someone shakes hands and if they look at you when shaking hands

Eye contact is a biggie for me. I always look at the person I am talking to directly in the eye, I can tell some people get uncomfortable by it.

Oh, you're so so wrong :(

I feel bad for you :|

ABSOLUTELY! This might sound strange, but I'm an energy junky... when someone shakes my hand I can usually get a stronger read on them. First impressions are everything. The sincerity, amount of time contact is held, the force or grip, all go into the impression the person leaves. Clammy hands, weak grip, limp shakes, or those that seem tactile defensive (shy away from contact) all give off a snake type persona, its like their slimy and sneaky and cant be trusted. Someone who is forthright, puts their hand out there, nothing to hide, takes ur hand and shakes it firmly, makes eye contact, smiles, and greets you professionally, is must more pleasant to worth with, etc. Confidence is attractive & intoxicating!

Well said. :thumbsup

a little TOO much :helpme

Normally, no... but there are some handshakes that just creep me out.

good for you :thumbsup
