Amefrica: Just to avoid this. I'd rather ignore

nolia66: Me personally I dnt think its nice,dey just shake der fellow dudes n act like ure nt even there..I knw dey say its d culture but 2 b honest its quite chauvinistic...I tink we all shld b equal 2 an extent,we r in an advanced world nw,[s]if as a woman I work n bring part of d bacon 2 d table which wasn't d culture b4 I dnt knw y I cnt b acknowledged as a woman nw wen in a gathering amongst men,it won't make any1 less of a man...it just shows hw much of a man u r[/s].

Wu Zetian:
So you acknowledge the men first because they belong to the same sexx as you?? Isn't that sexist?

Boss13: 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.

crackhaus:
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 hug or introduce myself to you when I don't know you?

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.

Oahray: lmao

Wu Zetian:

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.

Wu Zetian:

Am I the only one that read this bullsh1t?? Why is it wrong for a man to stretch his hands before a woman??

Leo Adewale: 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.

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?

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.


The white man (whose culture we are imbibing) would greet a lady either with a hug, soft kiss to the back of her palm or a peck. All this above listed aren't 'our culture' and tramples on our ego has men expcept the hug which most women would rather deny u or prefer a side hug.

Sometimes I wonder if someone had told them that they can be impregnated with justa hug.
