How do men and women shake hands differently?
It’s very interesting, because after all, we are primates but men and women do shake hands differently. We do respond to each other differently. And when a man shakes hands with a woman, if he wants to really put her at ease, he’ll square his shoulders to her. When men shake hands, they angle their shoulders, because that’s what’s comfortable to them. And you can try it right now. Two men, if you’re out there and you’re watching, think how you shake hands. But when women shake hands, we align our shoulders straight on to one another. So if a man wants to make me comfortable, hell square his shoulders to me when he shakes my hand. If I want to make a man comfortable, Ill angle my body to his, to make him comfortable.
