Hello!! Its me again, the ramdom sad guy who is weird!! Anyhowzers, as a follow up to my previous blog, here are some more advanced handshaking tips:
4. How To Counter A Controlling Handshake Last time, I told you how to recognise someone asserting control with a handshake. Now I will tell you how to reclaim that control. As you reach for this persons hand, Step forward with your Left foot. Take his hand as previously described(palm up). Now turn your hands over, leaving yours on top. At the same time step forward with your right foot. The result? You have nuetrilized his dominant shake and you're standing right in his personal space, making him feel uncomfortable. Now just think of something smart to say....(I like how your hair lets you express your feminine side...)
Problem Solved. With a capital S.
5. The Double-Handed Controlling Shake Otherwise known as "The Politician's Shake". Here, the shaker cups the receiver's hand and displays a MASSIVE Cheesy grin. The left hand is used for either The Wrist Hold, The Elbow Clutch, The Biceps Squeeze, or the dreaded Shoulder Grip. There is one other horrid, lesser-spotted variation, where the shaker (usually smiling or laughing cheesily) rests his left cheek on your shoulder, as if sharing some long forgotten hilarious childhood memory. These shakes are all you show various levels of friendly-ness, and are usually met by an expression of great joy on the face of the recipient. Well, probably.
Sadly I do not have sufficient space to continue, (the Mason's Shake) so this is it, I apologize for the shortness.
So yeah.... 'Til Next Time, King Maggeo Up, Up, And Away!!
P.S. Feel free to suggest/request something for a blog, I'll try to keep writing when I have the available time.
