    I also go with a firm handshake. All that high five slapping crap just seems kind of childish. Shake hands like a man.

    Just a firm handshake, nothing crushing, just firm enough to show confidence.

    I think that just makes the other person look like a jackass. You end up with the firm handshake, and they're in this stupid limp wristed position.

    That's cool unless someone's wearing rings. Then it's just a one-sided match of bloody knuckles.
