If you could change the custom of shaking hands, what would you replace it with?

Is the love I gave her in the past, gonna be enough to last, if tomorrow never comes........

I think all kinds of relationships, not just personal, would benefit from replacing handshakes with hugs.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Surpise, surprise...



My thoughts exactly.

A hug could say a lot...
And it would give you a good Idea where you stand with that person

I have met many people who I would have much preferred a good proper Kiss, to the old hand shake. I'd be less likely to forget names.

I'm sure most wouldn't mind...

As for more than a kiss, I'dl save that for the second hello

I gotta say...that hug thing sounds good in theory but in a long trial run I'm sure I'd insult some more than others. There are some peeps out there that I wouldn't hug with a ten foot pole! And think about hanshakes and how some are nice, some are squishy-wet, some are annoying (the constant pumper), some are too hard, some are too soft...etc.

Imagine getting even closer than a hand extension to a stranger!?

Now don't get me wrong...I AM a hugger. I even got my in-laws hugging everyone in the family upon visiting and leaving. When I first got in the family they all (both sides...mom-in-law and dad-in-law) just said hiya when we got together. They were all initially startled when I started hugging everyone. Well...cept Mr. Lixy's step-nephews who kiss and hug and always have. Now they are used to it and it's the norm. I even got close family members saying "I love you" as often as possible...which they NEVER did!

But I digress!

I'll hug ya if I know ya...but instead of a shake (which passes germs) I'd prefer a wink!

And a BIG P.S. I'd hug any one of you (here @ Pixies) upon introduction/meeting...if you wouldn't mind!

I like the hugging idea for the most part with some exception. The Japanese bowing custom might work although it's a bit formal.
