Firm Handshakes...but not too firm...
Beware...your handshake may reveal more than you think...

Don't be a wimp when you shake someone's hand. No one likes a "dead fish" handshake, and it might cost you a job offer, promotion, etc. :)
However, don't get into an alpha male, domination struggle when you shake someone's hand either. No one likes to get their knuckles crushed ...
Oh, and to the women and men with weak handshakes, when you shake someone's hand, make sure the base of your thumb meets the base of their thumb, it is also a pain to accidently crush someone's knuckles together because they don't "fully engage" in the handshake.
Thank you!

What if your handshake varies from person to person? It seems mine does, does that make me something like a chameleon who is always adapting to my surroundings?
No...It just means that you are a people pleaser who is always worried what others are thinking about him... Just kidding. Although, I guess it would imply that the different people that you meet would get different impressions from your personality. Right?
about your personality is what I meant to say.
