shaking hands with women you meet?
 

for some reason this always feels a little awkward

it is a natural if you are introduced to a guy that you just meet, but for some reason it doesn't feel as proper when meeting a woman

just introduced myself to a couple of ladies and shook hands and after wondered whether it was the right thing to do

ladies here, what do you think of it?

I do the kiss on both sides of cheeks.. not sure if thats a french thing *shrugs*

I always shake someone's hand when I meet them for the first time, even little kids.

depends on how hot they are :D :D

Just don't squeeze as hard or even kiss it

These are my general rules:

Guys > Firm handshake
Girls > Kiss on the cheek
Children > Kiss on the forehead or mess their hair up
Pals > Terrorist fist jab
Ho > Grab her ass

Let them be the ones that shake it :winkwink:

I think shaking hands is fine for the first time. Then do whatever feels comfortable.

In the States, I ALWAYS shake hands (male and female), unless I know the person...I feel as though biz etiquette. In Panama even (aka Latin America), women shake hands with men they don't know, and the next time kiss on the cheek.

Kiss on the cheek the first time is for girls...2nd time okay for guys. IMO

I shake hands with the lady.

I am a big fan of shaking hands.

In America its not normal to kiss women you're just meeting for the first time. No one has done it to me and if they were to I would not like it. Dont kiss a womans hand either. thats fucken weird, its not the 18th century, you are SUPPOSED to shake a womans hands. Do not kiss her face or hands, WTF!

Better give a kiss woman have the strange habit not to was there hands when they go to the toilet :) :winkwink:

I usually wait for the woman to make the move. If she's leaning towards me I kiss on the cheek, if not I just shake her hand.

I have to say it feels terrible tho. I even kiss guys on the lips when we meet... sometimes we also touch each others balls.

I think overall men are a lot nastier, so I would worry more about that

yeah...i agree that the whole thing is kinda awkward...but shaking hands seems the most normal (just don't squeeze too hard!)

shaking hand is way professional. but id like to follow these rules :winkwink::

i shake hands firmly with any stranger.. i kiss a cheek if it's a friend

Geez, just treat them like people. Forget about gender.

I shake hands at first, but I find lots of Europeans go straight for the hug/kiss on the cheek, which is fine. If I know the person, though, they get a hug/kiss on the cheek.

Get over it. Their husbands appreciate it.
Hugs and kisses are for friends, not colleagues.

Same here. Kids think it is weird sometimes, but in the end they like to feel included too

so cute :thumbsup

A firm (not vice-like) handshake when a man meets a woman is completely appropriate in the US. Gender is not an issue when meeting someone new.

I usually greet with the BP4L handsign.

More often than not the ladies drop to their knees.
I think its a biological response.

Its scientific.

There used to be a time where Id actually teach this artform to others.
Kind of like a Yoda of sorts to young BP4L Jedi.

See how it works?
Bow to the Power.

Here in Brazil we use to give a kiss on the cheek...

I do personal had shakes with man all the time. I want them to know I am a business professional and to take me seriously.

As a serious answer, shaking hands feels and seems proper.

As an even more serious answer, it'd also be ok if she shook her whole body. Very ok.

:upsidedow

I usually make a quick grab for the cooch...

I usually go for a lighthearted punch to the titty

Is that Easton?.. lmao.. funny shit

....that makes you a class act!

Kiss them, one cheek, then 2 if they move there head in that direction. Shaking hands with a girl is wooosy

I usually dry hump their leg.

yeah it's a french/euro I guess thing to do... well I'm french and I do feel awkward about it... I kinda need to go for the kisses on both cheeks.

I kiss their hand and arm all the way up to their pit.

it all depends on where you live, in many countries they hug or kiss on the cheeks when they meet, it feels really weird if you're not used to doing that

shake hands and give a hug...

You're right its a bit awkward especially if youre meeting the girl for the first time. I think shaking the hand is fine the first time on greeting and on parting ways.

I usually shake their hand firmly so I avoid they try and kiss me too much, I don't think that is appropriate when meeting the first time :pimp

If its a female, I usually spread her buttcheeks and lick her butthole.

if its a male, a firm handshake is appropiate.

Shake hands, but if it feels awkward with that INDIVIDUAL, do something else. Right way to take a woman's hand is more supportive, less gripping. Like the way you help ladies in and out of cars. Kiss it if in doubt.

It's about individuals not genders

I hate handshakes, from guys or girls. I hate those burly fucking handshakes that crush my poor hands. I like my hands intact, please, guys. Hugs are best. Ask Hal.

better if she shakes my 3rd leg!!!

I only shake when I really need to

Does it also make me a "stand up bro?" err... "stand up sis?"

If she offers your her hand, take it. If you offer yours, and she doesn't take it, no biggy. What's the issue?

I always shake hand's, if not the girl is going for the hug first.

nice I like your style.
