Sweaty hands?

Dry like eyes from staring at screens all day.

Was it an unpleasant handshaking?

Way to long. But we both kept going and talking. First time meeting this person.

Why does this sound like the handshake that Dwight and Andy have when they first meet in The Office

Spot on this

That is exactly what I'm picturing in my head what happened to you today ๐Ÿคฃ

Was it another man giving you the handshake?

Yes

Is there some kind of latent rivalry or beef?

First time meeting this person lmao. I maintained good grip and eye contact. Continue the shaking process as we did introductions.

This is the way to handle these situations

Normal handshake has to be 1-2 seconds. Long is 3-5. I think we closed in on 15 seconds haha

Thatโ€™s way too lonnnng, wtf

The other guy is definitely a sociopath ๐Ÿค

Did you keep eye contact to assert dominance?

Eye contact maintained๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
