is it just me or is the 'limp squid' the in thing for handshakes these days?
i recently went around work to wish various people a merry xmas and of about 7 men i got one firm grip.
you know the one i mean, forearms drawn back level with your side, line up the webbing between thumb and forefinger, then thrust forward and make contact. grip firmly and shake sincerely. sort of like the Mark Latham - John Howard handshake minus the pyschotic stare.
but no. mostly all i got were the squids. fingers barely reaching each others second nuckles and the light "please don't hurt me" squeeze, if it can be called a squeeze, more like the light pressure of a doctor checking my pulse.
come on men get those hand shakes back where they belong. own them. make them mean something. it's easy. all you have to remember is thrust and squeeze and shake it up and down.
this technique obviously can apply in other ares, but that's another blog!
