nolia66: Me personally I dnt think its nice,dey just shake der fellow dudesThe first striked-out part is resolved when you and the guy are introduced to one another, or you can be a lady and ask the person closest to you (in a voice loud enough), 'are you not going to introduce me to your friend?'. The man can also ask this too, but if you're the one feeling uncomfortable, then go ahead and ask. The second striked-out part was completely unnecessary babe. |

Wu Zetian:I don't know your definition of sexism but No, it isn't to me. Okay here's a question, wouldn't it be weird if I walked into a place where you and a couple of your male friends are gathered, and then the first thing I do is turn my attention to you to shake or I mean if I do that, it kinds of tells everyone present that I can't control myself around an attractive woman, even if it's what I'm really thinking. 3 Likes |

@topic, I'd say it's mostly cos guys want to avoid stories that touch. Girls style alot, you never can tell how they would take it. Plus some guys or men are over-protective with their gfs or wives. I shake ladies though, if they are with guys, unless it's a group of just ladies, or unless she quickly waves first. 1 Like |

crackhaus: Sexism: Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women. Now that we got the meaning out of the way, why in hell would it be a problem or weird if you shake my hands or introduce yourself to me first?? What you stated above, is your insecurities coming to play. No one in his or her right mind as in no one that is not psychologically evaluated to be in yaba left would for one second think greeting a woman first equates you having no self control. Where in the world did you kind that mindset from?? Bro, you need to dismiss that mindset immediately. |

Sometimes I try to shake girls and they give a somewhat 'cold' handshake, as if they're being forced. Dat usually happens when u're shaking a girl u're not friends wit, and it kind of pisses me off. 4 Likes |

Wu Zetian:LMAO Okay Miss psycho-therapist, I'm getting a free consultation today No need though, and even if I can't convince you here, be certain that I got no insecurities around women, trust me on that love. Now back to sexism, how can not shaking you first or attending to you first in a gathering of other people (guys) be discrimination? Remember you are the only woman there (i.e minority by number), or do you by any chance feel that you deserve more attention than the men sitting/standing around you? |

Sometime ago, I heard a lady address this issue on Silverbird TV. S he said it's wrong for a man to offer a handshake to a female. She said it is anti-ettiquette. Females have every right to decline a handshake from males. Lastly, she said only when a female offer a handshake should it occurr between both genders. Www.360wit. 1 Like |

Personally i don't mind a man offering a handshake, what i hate is that annoying finger rub they some of them do on your palm. But how do you excuse not offering a handshake in a business environment where by the same rules of etiquette men and women should be treated 'equally'?? I'm asking cos the situation i highlighted in my initial post happened at work. 4 Likes |

It's just a handshake naw... abi na handshake man pikin go chop? I naturally find it easier to approach fellow men than women when I don't know them. I feel women are generally wary of strangers so I avoid physical contact when it isn't necessary. A simple "hello" is good enough. 2 Likes |

crackhaus: You're being sexist because you're making a premeditated decision to always greet guys first before the opposite gender. If that's not discriminating against other women in the room, I don't know what is then. Why do you think men deserve to be greeted first. Why not just greet everyone, why must you hand-pick the men first before acknowledging the women?? |

Don karizma: 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. |

3Dimension: IMO the way we nigerians 'shake hands' is not really polite or let me say right. U see a guy raising is palm far above is head because of a mere greeting.. U don't wanna do that to the lady.d'nt wonder for long.We d'nt go around hugging people for fear of getting a whiff of their body or mouth odour! 1 Like |

I have also observed that ladies, single or married, when greeting their fellow ladies in the midst of men by hugging or handshake, will not do same to the men present but will just wave their hands only to the men or greet with their mouth. What is wrong in doing same hugging to the men also? The answer might answer the op's qtn i guess 6 Likes |

For us fellas that grew up in the North, we have been taught not to have physical contact with females especially girls that are Muslims and hausa so as adults, its already in our psyche to avoid physical contact with girls and that is why most guys of Northern origin seldom offer girls a hand shake besides, its Islamically wrong for a female Muslim to have any form of physical contact with a man that is not her husband so most guys don't even bother 1 Like |
