People shaking your hand like Popeye

I was just hunting and ran into the guy in the woods. We ended up shaking hands and he pretty much shook my entire body.
I am a pretty big buy but when I go to shake someones hand I dont really think its appropriate to go up and down 4 times really hard. I always thought a simple firm handshake was the best.
What do you think?

I always give a firm clench and one up and down as far as I can remember, a lot is subconcious.
But if Im at a bar and I don't like the person, or they are acting loike a drunken idiot Ill squeeze there hand really hard.

Most people that do that are douches who are just trying to assert their dominance over you to compensate for their own insecurities ime.

My wife's boss is a big guy. Every time there is an employee work party at his house he insists on shaking my hand. This guy grabs your hand and puts it in a death grip. He looks down at you like he is saying, "YOUR WIFE IS MY BITCH" while smiling all smug. If there is anyone in the world I would love to beat the shit out of for handshake abuse it's that guy. I want to kick him in the face just listening to him talk. Some of the stories about how he treats his employees (especially my wife), makes me want to dropkick the guy. He is a alpha male monkey mother fucker. I'd like to remove his testicles with a pair of dull sheep shears.
My wife insists that I play nice.

I always use plenty of strength in my arm so no one can move my arm or hand anywhere I don't want it to go, but I don't clench down on someones hand very hard. Just a firm handshake that shows I have strength but I chose not to use it. It's more of a respectful handshake, yet it shows I have a lot of strength I could use if I wanted to. It keeps me ready for the hand crusher types but doesn't make me one of them.

I agree. I simply do not care about handshakes. I have no formula for it, I just grab your hand normally and shake it real quick. Boom, done.
Who cares?

You know someone is a fucking douche bag as soon as you get a handshake that almost makes your eyes water. It's funny how they try and make a tough guy impression but it just comes across as being a total asshole.
I've learnt to do what Kada said over the years. Go in firm, but not so firm that you would seem like a popeye faggot to someone that isn't ready for that kinda' shake.

I still don't feel the need to try to be firm with these kinds of people. The opposite in fact, I hope he thinks I'm some 'wimp' and just leaves me the fuck alone. Maybe he can go play broball with his brofriends or something. If you're basing my whole personality on the strength of my handshake then damn, you need to get your priorities straight, ya know?

I'm firm so it doesn't crush my fucking bones. Ya know?
Also, I'm not basing your personality on your handshake, but if you shook my hand like the incredible hulk and actually hurt my hand for no reason I'm going to assume you're a douche.

I meant the douchey death grip guys. You know if you give them a limp shake they will forever feel superior to you. Like they now know exactly what kind of person you are.
