Hugs & Kisses

[HeavenSent]

2 parter

1. Do you kiss your significant other goodbye? ..before you go to work? If you're a parent, do you do the same with your kids?

2. When you shake hands, do you like a firm shake, loose or don't care either way? Do you put much weight into the way others shake your hand?

1. Single, have no kids.

2. Firm handshake, if the other guy's is firm it's cool, if the other guy's is weak, I think he's a pussy.

1) Yes, no kids

2) Firm handshake

1.) When I can see her yea. We live in different states at the moment so a goodbye kiss may be a longer ordeal than what you meant. But no kids... no.

2.) Firm handshake. This is the only thing i learned in 9th grade bio. For the most part the area between thumb and forefinger should touch then a firm grip is applied by both parties. i do not like when someone is a "premature squeezer" and barely has a hold of your hand before clamping down on fingers. if that is your strategy, you suck. i also dislike vaginabox handshake loose as a muddaforkin goose handshakes. (The girl stated in the answer to 1 knows how to shake hands also, being she went through the same 9th grade bio class one year after me)

1. Do you kiss your significant other goodbye?

Yep.

..before you go to work?

Nope. We don't cohabitate.

If you're a parent, do you do the same with your kids?

n/a

2. When you shake hands, do you like a firm shake, loose or don't care either way?

I give a firm but not punishing handshake and generally expect others to do the same.

Do you put much weight into the way others shake your hand?

No, that's stupid.

I always kiss my girlfriend goodbye when I leave for something.

I'm also always conscious about handshakes, and I try to keep them as firm as possible. If they give me a loose shake back, I usually think twice about them.

When it comes to handshakes, you can call me PUMMEL THE PUNISHER

I think the people that don't usually give a firm handshake are the ones not replying to this thread.

If I were a job interviewer having difficulty between applicants, I would probably use the handshake as a tie breaker. Although, with women, the handshake rating is meaningless imo. I don't care how women shakehands.

Has anyone noticed a particular ethnicity or culture where it seems like most people therein seems to always give a weak or loose handshake?

1) yes, on the cheek... or on the lips if we're alone.
2) Firm. I'm a business man. A weak handshake generally signifies a weak person (or someone who doesn't know how to shake hands) or a weak deal being made. Firm handshakes only apply to men, however. I tend to be a lot more gentler with the hand of a lady.

1. yes
2. firm. not too firm. but getting a loose handshake is shitty

[Squeezer]

I always kiss my gf good bye. It's part habit, and part her being the sappy naive, "Relationships should be like they are on TV" kind of girl.

And my father taught me from a very young age that you always give a firm handshake....No matter what. He said, "I'd never hire someone that gave me a limp dick where their erection should be."

That's my dad -_-

BREAKING NEWS: Judging people by their handshakes is idiotic.

Knowing that some people in pivotable positions of our lives weigh integrity by a firm handshake, why not give a squeeze for good measure? ...regardless of how idiotic the tradition may be.

[Galleleo]

Always

and firm.
