Title: Handshakes
Post by: spacer on August 05, 2009, 03:33:32 AM
Run into that a few times, myself. ::rofl::
Don't you just love the guys who squeeze before you can get your hand in, and they grip your fingers instead of your hand. I wonder whether it's just bad timing, or whether it's calculated to make 'em seem stronger than they really are.

I've never met that many but there is a moderate difference in grip-strength but luckily I've never met any bonecrushers yet (although I did come close once). I heard it's got something to do with your strength and character being demonstrated in that simple handshake, kind-of makes a simple bow like in Japan seem a lot easier, and less painful, unless you stand to close and head-but each-other that is :D

I experienced the exact opposite when I meet my wife uncle for the first time. We went for the handshake and I just never encontered his thumb for a stop and ended shaking his wirst. I looked down and there wasn't any thumb on his hand. ::unbelieveable:: I felt a little confused and really didn't know what to say. I now know that he do that on purpose when he meet someone for the first time. ::banghead:: Just to see how people react.

Ah, just think of it as an old-fashioned warrior-grip. HooAH! |:)\
