I met my new supervisor at work earlier this week. He came in last week to get weened in, but I was on vacation so I was like the only one he hadn't met. I'm in good with the executive director and other members of management, so I'm sure he's heard a lot about me. Plus the lowly grunts hate me and try to get me in trouble a lot xD Thankfully management doesn't play into scapegoat BS

Anyway, first thing he did when meeting me was shake my hand of course. Gentle man with a gentle handshake (not a girly handshake, it was about the same as my own). I have to say, I like that. I know a lot of men judge each other by the firmness of their handshake. Which I don't agree with at all. If you're trying to impress me by crushing my hand then you have issues and I don't like you. Why make a first impression by trying to compete or show off? I have a lot more respect for guys who are just themselves and not trying to prove anything

This is probably more of a guy topic, as I don't know if many of these type of guys would even shake a girl's hand, let alone try and crush it in the process. But who knows. Join in if you like. But mostly, I'm wondering: Guys, how do you like your handshakes? And why?
