Handshakes are weird things. I always wonder what kind of things I am conveying to people I meet with my handshake. I hate shaking hands with people (especially women) and it feels like I'm shaking hands with a wet sponge. I like a firm handshake. Guys always seem to take this too far. They seem to be in some kind of dominance game where they have to feel superior. I always thought it was important to have a firm but not killer grip and look the person in the eye. Maybe that's just me though.
