on the other hand...

do you know what i love? good handshakes. they say a lot about a person. i can form an opinion on someone right off the bat based on their handshake. you can tell if someone is earnest or jolly, confident or self-conscious, whole-hearted in their intentions or just half-hearted. in my perspective, a good, sturdy handshake is directly related to charisma and assurance- and who doesn't want more of that? a firm grasp is a simple, easy way to exude these qualities. (am i right? who's ever been impressed by a lousy fingertip handshake?) personally, i want people to shake my hand and think "wow, she's got gumption!"

but then again, i'm sure there are people who prefer it the other way. to each their own.
