Does anyone shake hands anymore? This whole god damn weekend everyone was throwing props around or some absolutely retarded handshake combo that left me baffled and in an awkward situations.

a handshaking is appropriate in a conversation that has even the slightest formality

I dont know, even with close friends I really try to avoid anything that isn't a straight up handshake, fist bumping is out of the question. It's just never felt right with me.

Plus a couple of years ago at a family christmas party I went to shake hands with my great aunt (she's 90+) and I ended up breaking out one of these by accident...

i hate when people go for the fist bump, its so gay i just refuse it usually.

if its the first time meeting someone or in a somewhat formal/unfamiliar setting i do a regular hand shake if not i do the one you posted first.

i always love to give a good man shake.  its all about the grip, and you make direct contact.  and the shake is a good solid up down.

i hate it when older guys try to seem "hip" by telling you to "bump it." No, I will give you a handshake thank you very much.

When someone tries to fist bump you, envelope their fist and move it around while yelling/saying "stick shift!"

It really depends on the person. If i'm meeting someone for the first time, I go for the shake. but I see them going for props, i try to turn it into props, this usually ends up badly. some of my friends prefer handshakes, some prefer props. I really don't care, its all love man!

but for greeting anyone in a situation which is even the slightest bit formal, or an older person, its gotta be a sold handshake man.

I just open mouth kiss.









But really, I like a firm handshake. And cocks, lots of them.
