Do men's handshakes mean anything?

I hate the handshakes when the guy who you are shaking hands with does the "Ted Whitten Specialty". The tight squeeze.

Who cares? You do a mis-grab and you get the tips of their fingers, or they are thinking about something else when they meet you and you get a weak shake, or that is just the way they shake hands.

thats why you need to pay attention. Dont hurry the hand shake, and dont have sweaty palms either.

I don't usually judge the person on their hand shake unless they go for the power-grab in which case I just relax and squeeze again just as they let go.

The other good come-back if they do the horizontal dominance thing is to grab their hand with your palm face down on the back of their hand. Good for laughs.

those type of people are just tossers...smile at them while they try to crush your hand. Then say something to their mates about them being a bit limp wristed.

I also hate the spit on the hand and spread the germs handshake. It is really gross.
