I no longer know any cool handshakes

[Mr Mojo Lane]

I can only handshake the old fashioned way. When some people try something else, i get confused

Same bro...

Handshakes in general are frowned upon after covid-19.

Weird and ridiculous handshakes are probably the reason why God invented covid.

Shaking hands is disgusting. Never again

 

[Kaybee]

Thats fine, Corona may have killed off the handshake.

Elbow daps are where it's at

 

[I am your real dad]

Anything but an old fashioned hand shake is childish and unessary.

Oh man I know this pain. I'm a white guy, but I used to work in hip hop clubs and have a ton of black friends. I can't even begin to count the number of fucked up attempts I made to shake people's hands in my life.

Do I do a regular shake?
Do I do the cool shake/hand clap?
Do I add that finger grip at the end of the cool shake?
Is it racist if I assume black people want to do the cool shake and white people want to do the regular shake?

Can I just fist bump anyone outside of a professional setting? No? Fuck. Why is shaking hands so hard?

I've pretty much got it figured out how to recover from a bad handshake though. Just call it what it was and say "Damn that was terrible lets try that again".

You got to try and make it really clear early on what type of handshake you're going for using body language.

The absolute worst though has got to be trying to do a regular shake and someone only grabbing my fingers. I feel like I've been hand raped after one of those.

How old are you? Cool handshakes cease being so at age 25. By 35 it should be an arrogant rich sneer. Then by 40 a self satisfied silent wealthy nod should be the primary greeting.

 

[GSP_37]

Start the trend for greeting via rubbing your butt up and down on the other person's butt.

Im not one of the pussys sweating Covid, but the inevitable death of the handshake is one reaction ill be glad to see.

Theyre totally antiquated, pointless and i didnt like touching strangers before Covid.

Plenty of ways to express formality without physical touch.

RIP the handshake
