And even though women are not supposed to wait to shake hands, many men don’t quite know what to do when a women offers her hand to shake, so custom hasn’t caught up with the times. Plus, they have no idea how to shake hands with a woman – they either crush my hand or they grasp my hand like I have leprosy and they don’t want to touch me at all.
10, but it was all guesswork. I really don’t know about this ettykit junk. Guess I just ain’t got no couth.
