I don't know why it's so difficult for some men to give a good handshake. I'm not saying mine will knock your socks off (or gloves off, might be a better phrasing), but at least it doesn't feel like you're grabbing a handful of wet spaghetti. Just grab and grip. You don't need to be strong. Just grip as hard as you would if you were picking up a sword. Why did I choose a sword for my example? Because I'm that manly.
I recently learned that at an early age my parents taught me to shake everyone's hand that I met. I'd be this little three year old going up to people and extending my hand for a shake. I don't think anyone blamed me for my noodle grip back then. My bones weren't even fully formed yet.
