(this is going to sound like i have a fetish, but no ok, it's just an observation)
i have been shaking hands with more people recently, than i've had in recent years, which was the customary handshake coupled with happy-new-year chants and that was it, my quota of handshakes reached.
this year, however, my first day of internship threw a series of handshakes my way when my director introduced me to all his nine employees (i was the tenth), and then at my current workplace, there were more hands too, albeit only five or six.
not a whole lot of hands there, but enough to distinctly discern the differences between the office girl handshake, the man-like handshake.
i had never noticed this before; my lecturers, older cousins, aunts and uncles and other lucky strangers don't deviate much from each other when it comes to giving a firm grasp and a few pumps - which is in short, a good handshake, if i do say so myself.
but some office girls just offer you these three limp fingertips, tease your offered hand and shrinks their fingers back, i wouldn't have noticed anything had i not seen those three fingers with my own eyes. what kind of a greeting is that?!?
i love the man-like handshake. it is extremely comforting having a warm palm unfilchingly envelope mine confidently. go around shaking hands (if you can call it a handshake) with office girls and you'll see how nice the man-like one is. "turns your ahhhs!! into ohhhhs..."
