I'm in my 40s but work with lots of twenty-somethings & teens and encounter handshakes I have never seen before, so this short professional-looking video made me laugh (these guys look like they came from Jake Gyllenhaal's family tree):

Handshaking sucks, even a perfect handshake is at best just symbolic and weird.

Everything in the old days was handled with a handshake because there were only 400 people in town.

I shook a guy's hand the other day and it was tiny. I couldn't tell how tiny exactly because he whisked it away and kept his hands in his pockets the rest of the time.

I know a guy that has a limp handshake. It is like you are shaking hands with a mannequin who's hand is made of playdough.

Like most things it is purely symbolic and has lost most of it's meaning, but that aside, just a regular handshake should suffice.........leave the fist bumping for adolescent's and Presidents and such.

handshakes can be awkward, but you know what can be even more awkward? WINKING.

handshake + wink = get the fuck outta there.

the really awkward handshakes are when the guy goes into shake a hand and accidentally gets a handful of the other guys crank.

Well, that crosses the line over from awkward to molestation.
