on 5/8/2008 As a woman, I like firm handshakes with other women and men. I dont like when I shake a woman's hand and it feels like a limp fish. I also dont like when a man puts his hand out to shake mine. I think it is proper and courteous for a man to wait for a woman and for a woman to shake hands with some firmness.

on 12/25/2007 My friends father only has his left arm. I am not sure if I should shake with the left or right. Typically when he extends his hand it is raised and his palm is facing down. I then extend my right hand with the palm facing up and he then will bring his hand down and gasp my hand. Your thoughts would be appreicated.
