I feel ambivalent. I don't think someone becomes a man because he is able to squeeze someone else hand. I see many men overcompensating with ridiculous signals like this.

And that was.part of point - no one should try to squeeze the crap out of your hand. Ever. That's not firm.

But you do learn something about the other man right away.

The problem that I don't think we can really conclude anything meaningful from a handshake. Maybe many would consider me as a bad person because 1. generally I avoid handshakes as much as possible 2. maybe for many my handshake would be wimpy.

And here comes why: once I broke my small finger on my right hand and since then even after it is healed somehow the bone and joints are pretty sensitive. Who knows how many other people make wimpy handshakes because a tendinitis or whatever.
