Beattie's steps to the perfect handshake, for both men and women, are: use the right hand; a complete grip and a firm squeeze (but not too strong); a cool and dry palm; approximately three shakes, with a medium level of vigour, held for no longer than two to three seconds.
The handshake must also be executed with eye contact kept throughout and a good natural smile with an appropriate verbal statement, according to the scientist.
Handshaking is for internet protocols. Fist punches are how real men do it.![]()
If you honestly need a guide, perhaps rather stay in your cave. :erm:
*edit*
Especially those ****ers who try and crush your hand.
The worst thing about your average hand crusher is that he also tends to close his grip early, catching your hand round the fingers and not around the palm. One is now caught in a stupid effeminate grip which makes you look like twice the p_ssy.
PH = √ (e2 + ve2)(d2) + (cg + dr)2 + π{(4<s>2)(4<p>2)}2 + (vi + t + te)2 + {(4<c>2 )(4<du>2)}2
(e) is eye contact (1=none; 5=direct) 5; (ve) is verbal greeting (1=totally inappropriate; 5=totally appropriate) 5; (d) is Duchenne smile - smiling in eyes and mouth, plus symmetry on both sides of face, and slower offset (1=totally non-Duchenne smile (false smile); 5=totally Duchenne) 5; (cg) completeness of grip (1=very incomplete; 5=full) 5; (dr) is dryness of hand (1=damp; 5=dry) 4; (s) is strength (1= weak; 5=strong) 3; (p) is position of hand (1=back towards own body; 5=other person's bodily zone) 3; (vi) is vigour (1=too low/too high; 5=mid) 3; (t) is temperature of hands (1=too cold/too hot; 5=mid) 3; (te) is texture of hands (5=mid; 1=too rough/too smooth) 3; (c) is control (1=low; 5=high) 3; (du) is duration (1= brief; 5=long) 3.
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/07/16/scientists-reveal-secrets-perfect-handshake/Researchers claim they have discovered a formula for perfect handshake... and it's much more complicated than you would think.
Scientists Thursday unveiled a step-by-step guide to an age-old custom the average person performs 15,000 times during their life -- the handshake.
I'm pretty sure this has been posted...
Here... it's in the science section...

I wish people would tag their new threads... it makes them so much easier to find.
Why didn't that one come up in the google search?
More importantly, why don't RPM and them sort out the now useless search function on here! Since the change it finds nothing!
