Do you shake hands with women, the same way as you do with men?

In corporate world nowadays hug can = sexual harassment - better to stick to handshake.

Nice firm handshake for males, gentle and sensual caress for women
Shake when offered,never initiate a handshake.

It seems a bit sexist, but yeah, I only shake hands with women when I first meet them.

shaking hands is simply a psychology of making a person feel welcome. you can bump into a couple at the shop and not shake hands at all and have a chat if you're already feeling comfortable, extending your hand is opening a form of communication, which is why it's often done in business to see if the person you are talking to is receptive to you. an example is that a guy shakes everyone's hands but when it comes to you, he looks at you and refuses to shake your hand because of the way you dress, he knows you and your deviant ways, something in the meeting is not right and you were not invited, etc.

shaking hands has simply become an unconscious thing in society like saying "hi, how are you". often you can just say hi to someone and they'll unconsciously answer "fine and you".

hugs are to make somebody feel important and are personal, if you have a client that does special favours(don't be perverted) and has benefited you greatly in the past, if they'r comfortable with a hug it will show that you value them

I have pondered over this topic for a long time. What works for me in a social setting is to do a normal handshake, but take my other hand and put it over the reverse side of her hand, enclosing it. This, coupled with a smile and a "Nice to meet you" seems to be well received.
It seems I know you :p I dislike shaking hands but when a guy does this it doesn't leave me uncomfortable or left out of the greeting.

I read somewhere that you should never hold a womans fingers but rather hold the whole hand like you would do for a man.

It shows weakness of character.

True or bs?

A lot of women only allow you to grip their fingers.

Depends, there`s some cultural differences as well.

With white women its firm grip, holding hand stiff, only squeeze a little bit.

With black woman its a very soft shake usually, sometimes only on the fingers.

Good female friends gets a hug.

Around here, with white men squeeze the hand, you must be very quick because you don`t want to end up shaking their hand with only your fingers feeling like a woman. And if you don`t squeeze your hand will get crunched.

With black men the 3-part handshake, sometimes ending with still holding each-other`s hand until you have finished saying the first one or two sentences.

With city slickes - like a woman

you only shake hands with a woman if she offer's her hand for shaking, you don't force her into a situation by offering your hand first

I shake the guy's hand firmly, and I'll give the woman a gentle fingering, even a light clit massage. Makes them feel as if I've known them for years.

I shake hands with both men and women, albeit with the fairer ones its just a squeezing her fingers lightly.

So if she's fat and ugly you squeeze the crap out of her hand?

Shake both when first introduced, afterwards only the guys while greeting both

For men its normal to greet each other with a handshake so I will shake the guys hand while extending a warm greeting to both i.e. make sure the wife is included in the greeting.

I love shaking hands with females. A light squeez into the palm of my hand, then place my other hand on top and quickly release.

If she's willing I would kiss the feet too. I love female feet

If it's the first time meeting the woman I'll shake her hand, firm enough to not come across as a fish, but not as firm as when shaking another mans hand.

If it's people I know I normally shake the man's hand and accept a hug from the woman, even if I've only met her once or twice. They always come in for a hug, maybe I'm just a huggable guy?

I don't shake hands with anybody. If they offer a hand I give them a bearhug whether it's male or female.
