The Revealing Grip
Handshake is perhaps the most universal form of greeting that every man is accustomed to. What exactly do you do when you shake hands? Hmmm..... letting the other person know that you are pleased to meet him??
But, if a group of evolutionary psychologist headed by Gordon Gallup of the University at Albany are to be believed, you are revealing a bit too much about yourself. Their findings link hand grip strength to aggressive behavior and sexual history. This works only for men. A firm handshake indicates more aggressive nature and more sexual partners. It may serve as a form of asserting one's dominance over others (which reflects health and fitness).
This idea of hand grip strength as an indicator of health and fitness is not something everybody in the scientific community agrees to. The skeptics think that ethnicity may have a more significant role here.
What I find interesting is that, I had always associated a loose hand grip to disinterest and aloofness. I was quite sure about that. I must admit, I was surprised to read this... especially the sexual history part of it!
hmmm.... Although I find it difficult to believe this, I might as well be one of those who validate this hypothesis. Analyzing the way I shake hands, I confess that it does reveal my 'soft' nature and, my rather passive sexual history.
Let me know what you think about this?

Will u post more about it?
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
Hello, Kamal
Infact I'd admit I came to know about the "sexual history" of handshake from your post.
