Mynd_44:This is different though. If a guy walk into a room full of strangers and decides to greet the only person he knows, it wouldn't be necessarily bad as it could translate to him being rude or just shy. The issue here is deciding to greet strangers but ignoring the opposite gender or choosing to acknowledge the opposite sexx after greeting the supposedly "superior" gender. To be honest, I have never noticed this. |

They ignore me too. i believe they do it when the girl(s) are breathtaking... I dont mind most times cus i believe wen a guy does it, maybe i intimidate him and he doesnt want to embarass himself. thank you... |

Most guys do it and i am nt an exception.I do greet my guys first and than greet the lady or ladies without shaking there hands, especially when the lady is a stranger.But if i know the lady i will shake her hand or hug her. I believe its a personal thing and has nothing to do with being shy. 3 Likes |

Well, not all men do that. I noticed that women, especially black women are sometimes reluctant to shake hands though. If you offer them handshake, they shake it casually, without the grip. Maybe some of our women aren't used to the corporate world, where deals are sealed with handshake and warm smiles..... I love handshakes though, it reaffirms bond and lessens any tension. 3 Likes |

yes i've always never understood it. A guy came not quite long, i was the only girl seated with four other boys. He waved his hand at me and said hello, and then shook hands with the guys. Tho not all guys do it, some will simply shake hands with everybody round, whether male or female 2 Likes |

Some of them don't like it. They respond to your handshake as if you were some kind of shit. Common amongst those who feel they are sophisticated. 1 Like |

Sllowppoisoon: Not all ladies accept handshake(most ladies dat do accept handshake frm guys are ugly ) ,, sum guys jus dnt wanna disgrace themselves... You have spoken well. I rather do what I can live with. If I attempt to extend a handshake to a lady and he gives me the tip of her fingers, I have myself to blame. I would rather give a wave, verbal greetings and a nod to a lady and keep it moving. That I can live with, even if I am accused of being rude. I rather not set myself up and receive "I don't shake hands" . At least if a guy says I don't shake hands I can always yab the bagger.. 5 Likes |

This is not even an issue, because it is neither a culture thing nor is it disrespectful to shake the hands of men and not that of women. Situations like this are peculiar to different gatherings. If I were to walk in on people gathered and if they were all in my age bracket or social status, of course it's normal to acknowledge the men first by shaking hands. The only time I shake the woman's hand in the group is when she is introduced to me by whomever she's with. If there are no introductions, I just acknowledge her presence with a slight wave, head movement and a warm smile. In another situation when the woman or women are elderly or really older than I, of course the greeting goes to them first (but still not a hand shake), just the normal 'Good day madam'. The courtesy of a hand shake between a man and a woman is a formality usually performed after an introduction has been made by another person (male or female) in the group. Hugs are only between you and a woman you already know (still after you shake hands with the men in the group), that's just the way it is. 6 Likes |

Some ladies do not understand that it's wrong for a man to stretch his hands before her except in corporate environment where everyone is considered the same. It's called etiquette. The lady should show readiness to accept but in our case u find a lady starring @ you in the eyes and other times her hands behind her back or holding a heavy duty hand bag. |
