My grandpa told me these about handshakes: 1. Never raise your hand to shake someone older than you if said person has not initiated that first. It's disrespectful. 2. Always point your hand vertically, never inside down, that means you want to dominate, never inside up, that means you're submissive. Vertical hands are always neutral and, in the case of someone offering you the two above, you force them to meet you equally. 3. Never offer a limp hand or as they say, don't shake like a fish. A strong solid grip with a locked wrist represent fortitude of character. Of course, when shaking someone and he/she presents a fish shake don't break their arm, meet them with an appropriate level of resistance. 4. Don't break a woman's wrist. 5. And finally, never shake with a sweaty hand. Nobody likes a sweaty hand.

@NewcastleChemistry 10 лет назад

I have the opposite problem to sweaty hands, mine are always ice cold, people tend to recoil like they've just been touched by death and try to warm their hand up afterwards.

@MrZAP17 10 лет назад

I want your hands. Not in a creepy literal way, though.

@elidrissii 10 лет назад

@OneShotdeathCrew 10 лет назад

I cant stand looking people in the eyes, or face just irks me, but as a way to not be looked at as a liar I try to focus on a non assuming part of the face like the spot between the eyebrows or the tip of the nose. I still get anxiety but it is much less, so therefor easier to deal with.

@MeanderingMeagan4 10 лет назад

Shaking hands, especially in an interview-situation definitely help me and make me feel more at ease, so I think they are important and that "starting off on a positive note" thing is true.

@INeedbigfoot 10 лет назад

its so awkward when i try to shake someone hand but they make it a different position handshake and there is like an awkward 5 seconds afterwards until you both get a normal handshake off

@Dhalgrim 10 лет назад

i hate it when you shake a hand (doesn't matter if men or women but even worse in men) and it is like grabbing a hand made out of jelly. you don't have to crush someones hand, but don't make it like a noodle =) sweaty hands aren't pleasant, but some people just have sweaty hands which is not their fault

Handshakes actually make me nervous.... but I've been getting better ever since I met a friend who shakes my hand every time I see him XD And it's actually really strong and secure so he's a good friend to have :)

@addie-eileenpaige6460 10 лет назад

i took a business class my first semester at college and the first thing the professor had us do was shake his hand. right at that moment i learned that handshakes are very important, especially in the business world. i admit i used to do the dead fish handshake, but i give the person a good squeeze

@sellbythebell 10 лет назад

I think handshakes also help you remember people. It has to do with an automatic counting of the shake. If someone were to write down the same word or phrase 3 or more times, you are more likely to remember that word or phrase. If you are to have not only eye contact with someone new, but physical contact, and then there is a 3-4 count as you are looking at them and learning their name, you are more likely to remember that person. More likely than if someone had introduced themselves with a single wave.

@windragon12343 10 лет назад

Eeww I hate hand shakes... I'd never get any positive reactions... going up to some stranger and touching their hands... I don't know where those hands have been and when the last time they've been washed. Shaking hands gives me anxiety and grosses me out. I don't want to fucking touch people. Ew.

@MsWannabeGamer 10 лет назад

Same here. Most people have sweaty or dirty palms, since they're constantly touching stuff. Some don't even wash their hands after they use the bathroom and then they proceed to shake your hand. Nope, nope, nope. Often they break your hand just to assert their dominance. I don't know what the hell is wrong with those people.

@lilyt99 10 лет назад

If it grosses you out but you are at an office party or meeting, I'd suggest you do your best and firmly shake those hands, and avoid touching your face until you can wash your hands later. It's always okay to wash your hands before you eat, so it shouldn't be a huge deal if your hand gets a little dirty. Door knobs, faucet handles and light switches are filthy anyways, so avoiding hands won't help you entirely. I know there are really gross people out there, but you don't want to come off as a jerk in a first impression. I worked in the construction industry and the dirtiest people actually are often the ones that say, "I'd shake your hand, but it's dirty right now."

@windragon12343 10 лет назад

Wooow tl;dr Look at all the judgement cast down from a strange older man on the internet! I'm more 'fem' like in my personality? That's probably because I'm female. :/ "Men don't say things like" that's an outdated sexist remark if I ever heard one. I'm hoping handshakes will be outdated soon as well. Primitive gestures...

@SuperAmzy1 10 лет назад

Blake Kilcrease Even if he (or should I say SHE) does not like shaking hands, I am sure she does it anyway, because well, like you said it is rude not to but for some It is weird shaking hands with someone you do not know. It is just personal preference.. You don't need to say shit about people not having a good male role model in their lives, that's so rude and insensitive! What if this person you speak of had a dad and that dad died in an accident when he (she) was a child and lost their father and after that, they had no male role model. Not to mention that most people do fine without a fucking father, seeing as though they'd rather get drunk then spend time with their kids. You have no right to be a smart ass piece of shit! Of fucking course you are a CEO because most people who are, are crappy human beings that the rest of us civil people want to see get hit by a bus! Just the honest truth! What do you know? Why don't you now tell us how the universe and solar system works? because most geniuses are not exactly the shaking hands, touchy touchy type(Introverts... the majority of the population are Extroverts, it's not the introverts fault their are more of you!).. Anyway, I'd definitely rather bow than shake hands, some people are just grossed out by touching weirdos with slimy hands, well that is how it feels if you are a clean freak. Sometimes you just need to see it from someone elses perspective for a change and get off your high horse! Also, you sound like a sexist, no wonder men always feel like they have to hide their true selves from society because of old men like you, this is the new age, we don't need that bullshit here. Just because you had a dad, not everyone had a perfect upbringing. Wow, you really are irritating.. I would probably know all this just by one shake of your dirty hand XD hehehe ;)

@windragon12343 10 лет назад

Amzi Amz All of my indeed. And yeah, "Good male role model" Mine was a drunk who beat me and gave me PTSD. I greatly appreciate your comment >u>

@MrGridStrom 10 лет назад

I honestly don't do hand shakes, I do the shoulder pat.

@alexsworld1999 10 лет назад

I feel handshakes are weird. I've never actually started one due to that. It makes be feel out of place, like I'm in some foreign land. When someone does it, I'm caught off guard and do this wimpy handshake. But If I ever were to start a handshake, I feel my grip would hurt. IDK. This is why I hate handshakes, too much thinking about a simple task.

@WatchingPup 10 лет назад

A strong grip on a handshake always impresses me, but also creeps me out if they don't lean back and chill after the handshake. Those are automatically OUT! But even people with a too strong shake, if they stand back and keep calm, they are okay to work with me.

@terrydrain 10 лет назад

I hVe never cared for hadshakes because i did not grow up with them (ofcourse i knew what they meant and i had done them once or twice) but really, holding a firm grip is gives the sign that you are more confident to the other person, but for a person to do that, they have been teached that a firm grip = confidence.

@petterjodinson7936 6 лет назад

And that same person is probably TERRIFIED of something like tiny spiders...

@TheFleeingPhoenix 10 лет назад

Hey Trace, you've continued making good videos since that last one. You deserve a good handshake. Gimme a cool and dry hand, grip firmly, and shake three times.

@galenyoung4838 10 лет назад

In a few of my fraternities we communicate a great deal by our handshakes. The problem that results is that when I shake the hand of a non-frat member, it is mis-interpreted as being a weak handshake.

@Ezekielion 10 лет назад

i prefer milkshakes

@timtheasianinc 9 лет назад

I have a firm handshake. But, I feel bad sometimes. Because some people have incredibly light handshakes. So, I end up having to nearly let go of their hand. So, I don't feel like I'm going to break their hand.

@Anissassina 10 лет назад

@gantmj 10 лет назад

A handshake is helpful for whenever I'm selling something. I can immediately tell what strategies I'll have to use, and how hard I'm going to have to work for the sale, without having to waste time to "figure them out" first.

@kevanoid 10 лет назад

the bit where he says "in some places it not cool" i know first hand my economics teacher is from a part of Africa where shaking hands is a sign of challenging him and he must fight or something of that nature he never shook anyone's hands even during graduation!!!

@JoVaLu88 10 лет назад

This is true in my case I usually tend to be nicer to people that shake my hand when I meet them. Vice versa.

@THATVYBE 10 лет назад

A quick reference on how someone can be emotionally connected with another person before, judging there view . A handshake can really tell upon what the other expresses. Sometimes a handshake can tell a story.

@ACr4zyMoose 10 лет назад

I prefer a fist bump to a handshake. They are slightly more hygienic and if both parties know to do it, helps lighten the moment a bit and help build rapport with each other as it is considered a more casual action.

@sandhrasam4 10 лет назад

In the UK, when you go for an interview, handshake is a HUGE deal!

@sparkleafter50 7 лет назад

I def think that a good handshake changes the dynamics. I recently went to a "dive bar" with my husband to watch a friend play in the band. I knew this was not going to be my environment and there would be many "friends" of my husband introducing themselves. I normally just smile and say hi but on this occasion, I decided to be observant and if anyone was introduced to me I would shake their hands. No matter what. It was interesting to see the outcome. It could have been my own self-respect at play but it felt as though people were more respectful with some individuals being so uncomfortable that eye contact was minimal. I would not be able to cover my entire experience of this experiment here but as a doctoral student learning how to "observe" and "research" it was interesting.

@canids 10 лет назад

hand shakes also represent a deal struck or agreement reached. They can signify fareness or mutual play on a contract. As a hello they are usually more to do work business people. I thought most people these days just shrugged or"hey".

@AdamShedForrest 10 лет назад

I agree that they're important and try to do them as often as possible! !!!

@Klatski 10 лет назад

Welp, never gonna handshake again. My hands are sweaty just at the worst time possible, but still cold as death's touch (the sweating usually comes from holding plastic objects for too long, not nervousness). I hope I can still get a job.

@RedLeader327 10 лет назад

I was told before that I "shake hands like a German". I usually go for a firm shake, one quick up/down. I also notice if the other person has a firm or weak shake.

In my culture we always have to shake people's hands like when people visit your house you have to shake their hand (I got used to it since i do it all the time).

@theotherkairi 10 лет назад

I always shake a person's hand with a nice firm grip when I'm first meeting them. It's always weird when someone's handshake is limp, it's like shaking a wet noodle

@CenturianCornelious 9 лет назад

Sometime people shake too strongly because they shake a lot strangers' hands who might be inclined to do them harm, and they need to say nonverbally that they are not a victim. But I still hate that crap.

@Shinmori012 10 лет назад

If I had to make a wild guess, a handshake signifies two things: cultural intellect and value of the situation at hand. Anything else is up to the interpreters.

@CrushersCharisma 10 лет назад

"It starts people off on a positive light." Exactly. A store manager of another store came to mine and fist bumped me instead of shaking my hand. Totally not professional. He's the face of his store, he should uphold professionalism....certainly to those he's never met before.

@blryan23 10 лет назад

Handshakes are amazingly important. Once in college we had a handshake workshop, that's how important it was. And I still remember this one girl. It was like shaking a limp fish. Her hand was slimy and she had no grip. It was awful.

@johnburr9463 7 лет назад

That eye contact part is so not fair. I am so uncoordinated that if I'm not following my hand with my eyes, I screw up the rest of the handshake.

@pattystomper1 10 лет назад

The left hand grip, demonstrated at 2:23, used to insult me. It meant the person shaking my hand didn't have time to acknowledge me. But later, I spoke to someone who shook my hand that way, as he described himself as "beneath" me. I realized he didn't have the confidence to conduct himself on a gentleman's level. Holding out his left hand was like a dog giving me it's paw, or a monkey expecting me to take it for a walk. Now, whenever someone offers their left hand, I feel sorry for them.

@StephenPoPpalLewis 10 лет назад

This made me realise how weird handshakes are, like you are holding another persons hand and shaking it up and down, I've thought about this too deeply...

@darlenedarlene8227 10 лет назад

As a woman, when I shake hands, I often find people give my weak handshakes. I have caught myself actually looking at the hand in disappointment at the wimpy shake.

@Akherousia502 10 лет назад

Of course I believe it, there's so much we give off with our nonverbal communication and even the intentional actions (handshakes) can leak information we had no intention to share. I also feel they're over-analyzed wastes of time too, though.. People have a tendency to learn a minimalistic amount about a subject, and then preach it as if it's gospel - completely ignorant of the subtleties and exceptions within the topic they're speaking of. For instance, the argument that those with a limp handshake are always lacking in self-confidence and are more neurotic can be true in many cases, but there are of course exceptions. If someone uses their hands for something important (case in point, musicians) they will usually have a very limp or weak handshake to protect their hands (and likely resent you more than the average person if you gave them the over-compensated 'vicegrip') - yet I've seen many people instantly fail to consider that and just write them off as 'Nah, neurotic/untrustworthy/not confident' or whatever their half-baked research told them that means. We must always keep context in mind, but that being said when you know what to look for a handshake can be very revealing.

@benjaminhuntermason 10 лет назад

Got a common scientific knowledge bomb for you: Education level is correlated with intelligence. Intelligence is correlated with health. Health is correlated with hand grip strength. I'm glad you pointed out that the associations you drew were correlations and not causation, but that didn't stop you from strongly implying that people lived longer because they achieve a higher level of education, which is ridiculous.

@brunocabral8509 10 лет назад

I have sweaty palms 24/7, so i avoid shaking hands, and people who know i have sweaty hands avoid shaking hands with me. To be honest it's even more uncomfortable when you have to touch any kind of surface when your palms are literally always wet from your own perspiration.

@necknack12 10 лет назад

@RedTriangle53 10 лет назад

I'm sure watching teletubbies and dora the explorer counts as much more useful than studying human behaviour in order to create an understanding of our own species. Go team winx club and franklin the turtle. You tell the world what's important!

@level58deathknight18 10 лет назад

***** Yeah, studying the very fundamentals of human interaction is a waste of time.

@RedTriangle53 10 лет назад

***** Sociologists, psychologists and linguists all study human behavior/history. Neurology is the true science that will eventually replace them all, but until we are advanced enough to connect them theoretically, the three are as much help to themselves as they are to the guidance of neurological research. They currently often work together with neurologists because knowing a neurological reaction doesn't mean anything if you don't know what the human reaction associated with it means. Without the knowledge of human behavior we would never know what the neurological pulses mean, only how they happen. So needless to say, I disagree. Physics used to be to mathematics what psychology is to neurology now. Not theoretically connected, but definitely correlated.

I would suggest that it came from early trading societies. When you have nothing to trade you have only your empty hand offer maybe? The two rules are simple, you shake hands when you meet a stranger and when you say goodbye to a friend. Apart from that the rest is as personal as a signature.

I did wrestling and every time I tried to do a full hand shake to show the opponent I'm a friendly person and sometimes they do like the awkwardest handshakes u know when u take the tips of a persons fingers and do a little jerk those are usually the strong people who seem super aggressive.

@rayray1993 6 лет назад

Unless it's at work/super formal, if someone tries to offer me a handshake I give them a hug instead and say, "Sorry, i'm a hugger." Is that just an Oregon thing? We all typically hug over here(even when first meeting someone). It makes it less of an awkward/formal greeting, and 9 times out of 10 even when the person is caught off guard from it they seem less anxious and more comfortable talking/opening up afterwards.

@Azurren 10 лет назад

Imo the most important part of the handshake is that both of you enter each others personal bubble (Or space). Otherwise people tend to be more apprehensive / defensive. Just my experience :) _Plus I never know what to do with my hands so if we don't shake they subconsciously move to the arms crossed position_

@Naaoomz 10 лет назад

I actually don't judge people by their handshake, mainly because I am too busy worrying about them judging me.

@GrimTheCrow 10 лет назад

Now I have to figure out what the world record for the longest handshake is... ..."42 hours and 35 minutes".

@Harmonia96 10 лет назад

One of my friends and I actually greet each other palm to palm instead of a handshake. We also wrap our thumbs around each other's hands. I wonder how people's secret handshakes correlate to them?

@chiggs343 10 лет назад

It's funny they made a video about this because I always shake hands when I meet someone new. But today someone said that your handshake determines a lot of things, didn't belive it till today.

While I don't fully appreciate the meaning and history of hand shaking, here in the US it's become an expected and highly important act in job interviews. Social customs can be so tedious :p

@caryrnorman86 10 лет назад

It developed naturally. Along with other nonverbal communication action. Developed into a cultural act. It arose and continued because theres nothing to use instead. Like a more formal version of a hug. It says know me im here and its also a great opportunity for eye contact which is very impirtant non verbal communication. Think about it. If youve never heard or experienced a hand shake and some stranger walks up amd grabs your hand to feel you amd looks into your eyes what might they convey

@10j5e22v26z 10 лет назад

To truly know someone, one must first observe them do every possible action without them knowing they're being watched then become that person. The second one's a little more difficult...

But you know probably* know exactly where they have been... for an example, let's assume shaking a guy's hand in an office setting: he probably touched a pen, papers, his computer,face, penis, whatever is in the kitchen, your own hand since you are shaking, etc. everything else you can't think of is probably negligible...

Thats why your handshake wont get you the job right there, no mutual respect

Speak for yourself, I never assume someone is retarded based on their handshake

If you were to take a look at the people you sit on the bus with for example, everyone is generally completely minding their own thing and all but ignoring everybody else but for the occasional manditory contact. This resultant 'distance' between people is very much occurent nearly everywhere at all times to some extent. A handshake is a nice and clear gesture to establish an approachal between two individuals, this gesture, I feel, is born out of equality and mutual respect. What objection could one possibly have against all that?

I honestly don't think I've shaken someone's hand - unless its been to get laugh out of someone.

As a left-handed person, I always involuntarily outstretch my left hand to shake... pisses off EVERYONE.

I always catch myself "judging" men on their handshake as to how much they interact with females. Because a man that mostly shakes other men's hands will grip it tighter than a man who is also often "exposed" to women. The latter will know from experience that we often wear jewelry and it can hurt to squeeze the hand too tight or that our nails are done or whatever. It seems to me that a lot of people (especially men) confuse tight with firm. You can have a firm grip without squeezing fingers together. Just thought I'd share that :)

I love handshakes! I am usually very judgemental when it comes to a poor handshake. I remember shaking 1 guy's hand and it literally felt like i stuck my hand in a bowl of jell-o. It was awful.

most social psychology is based off observation and expectation. like forecasting the weather, you can predict it but it will do what it wants.

I think handshakes are very important

@kozmo7 10 лет назад

I freaking hate it when someone closes their hand too early and make me look like an idiot.I'm going to start pulling my hand back and resetting the shake from now on.

@Fleezblarp 10 лет назад

my hands sweat almost constantly, so i make the person wait until i dry my hands on my shirt before shaking their hand. usually gets me some weird looks, but i assume shaking a dry hand is worth the few seconds wait.

@erocicTheGreat 10 лет назад

I totally judge every hand shake that occurs.

@mspooner 10 лет назад

Well, it may reveal your true age, perhaps, but I think more important than that, it shows your professional experiences. Personally, I have trouble with the eye-contact part, I've noticed, but I try to make up for it in a strong grip. But I usually want to release early. One pump is good for me. I also really can't help the temperature of my palms, but if I know I'm about to shake hands with someone, I try to be sure my palms are mostly dry.

I am careful with handshakes, because I hate it when people squeeze too hard. I once made the mistake of shaking someone's hand after I injured my hand in a basketball game. I don't think he realized how crushing his handshake was. Ever since I have been cautious. I am especially gentle when shaking older people's hands and allow them to shake hands with just the ends of the fingers instead of palm to palm. I guess they have had their hands hurt often enough that they have to be on the defence to protect their hand from a too tight grip. I try to match hand strength to give a firm, but not too tight of a grip.
