    to shake or not to shake

    had the Auditors in at work, both female, and when I was introduced I shook their hand, they both seemed a trifle unacustomed to this, so poses the question, whats the accepted norm for blokes being introduced to women in a business setting, do you proffer the hand or just say "Hello."

    A firm slap on the **** seems to work for me. Give em a wink as well and you'll be sorted.

    Always shake but make sure the hand isn't still wet after having just been to the gents.

    i wonder what sort of reaction a kiss would have got





    i normally don't offer a hand shake to the ladies, although last week two interstate reps initiated hand shakes at a meeting

    common sense says the lady makes that decision,,

    a business type with power shoulders may well break your knuckles,
    but a handshake should never be forced onto anyone

    Maybe I'm showing my age, but it was always accepted that if the woman initiated the handshake, then fine.
    If she didn't you didn't, but offered a polite greeting & welcome.

    If she didn't, maybe she may have glimpsed you picking your nose, exiting the Gents still tucking yourself in, scratching your ****/balls etc.

    Definitely shake hands!

    Being auditors they probably weren't used to people being friendly to them

    Seriously, they may have looked strange 'cause they were chicks! There's still a lot of men around here who ignore women and only talk to the bloke! Drives my wife nuts!
