So does a weak, floppy handshake automatically indicate a weak indecisive character for instance? A lot of people, particularly women, seem to have difficulty shaking hands "firmly", which I find makes me tend to draw back and slot them into the "weak", "wishy washy" folder, but perhaps I am being unfair!
Hi Isabel, no, a weak shake does not automatically suggest indecisiveness. In fact, there are many cultures whereby it is polite to shake �more weakly� than the other person, depending on the heirarchy. Then there are the business situations where people match the �squeeze� of the other person to demonstrate their similarities. Also see:
