It's not often I have a mans hand envelope my own...

[johnnyunitas]

It wasn't until college that someone told me my hands were large. It didn't seem like a compliment. 10.25 inches from thumb tip to pinkie tip. I have large calves, large biceps, wide feet so I guess I'm just a big ol freakshow.

Yeah. But...umm...how does that measure up to Pete Davidson's hands?

I've heard his fingers are like fire engine hoses

You need to have a photo verify that...mine is 9 inches, but you maybe measuring from end of nail, to end of nail............

If I know you, and you know me enough to open the hug door, I am gonna glomp on ya like a co-dependant koala bear.

My idea of a firm hand shake is not pythoning the phalanges into submission...it's like literally holding their hand. If their arm suddenly popped off at the elbow ya got it covered keeping their hand out of the dirt wise. Reattachment is a whole other issue.

My handshake says "Hey, nice to me you. Everything sucks, I understand, maybe we can mitigate the suck for a bit. Also do you like SPN?"

Yeah, don't be fooled by the cuddly Koalas you see on TV....not until you try rescue one from the median strip in the middle of a major highway at night. Wasn't very thankful...their claws are razor sharp, especially on the males. Lifted a few from roads during the years........most of the time they are ok.........but

They can be devilish little buggas when high on Eucalypti

In all honesty I avoid contact with people in social situations. I prefer not to shake hands, hug, any of that.

A person has to really matter to me on a personal level for me to seek out a physical hello of any kind. They are rare, but they do exist.. and they know who they are.

I'd shake your hand if you allowed me...........or I could just wave all the way from over here.....

*eyeballs Ms TnJ from the branches of a eucalyptus tree*

You be too hot to sit in a Eucalyptus tree, you'd ignite it....they be highly flammable.

The reason why Eucalyptus forests catch fire so easily is they give off huge amounts of flamable oil into the atmosphere... that gives the air around them that bluish haze. One of the reasons wildfires are so bad in California is because during the gold rush years...Aussie gold diggers bought the Gum tree with them.....sowwy bout that.

Now the issue is on whether they be deemed noxious or not is up to the locals there.. They are like a weed, burn fast, grow quick, crowd out other native species.... long story of how they became the dominant species here...it's not genearal knowledge, but will pass it on in the next LPSG history lesson..................da da daa dah.

Eucalyptus grow in all climates.........Scientists are worried what humans have done....because once they land somewhere, they take hold pretty quick.

Exactly. With First Nations, I shake like a human being. But some of them shake like a white man.

I think humanities greetings changed world wide when in it's early development. Viruses were around like they are today, we learned with what was around at the time. Some rubbed noses, others stick out your tongue, either blow a kiss, cheek touch or rub a nose.........not to keen on the last one

There are others.......dance, story telling, conversation, fire, painting, embrace..........hand shaking is probably between all of those. A white man thing? Who knows, it's human contact, if that's a bad thing, we are all up shit creek.

Cool story

It's even betterer when backed up with facts Gotta do the research to write a goody.

US bought Cobb&Co to Australia.......we gave Eucalyptus trees to the US...being the generous Aussies that we are

Emasculated several men?
You have some interesting “stories”.

You have some uninteresting "accusations".

Happens to me all the time.

 

[Oldcowboy]

Many of my First Nation friends give gentle handshakes, view whiteman handshake as sign of aggression. I tend to agree with them.
TnJ ‘emasculation of men“. Bwaa- guy wasn’t too confident in his masculinity to begin with.

 

[AllieHeidi]

You get emasculated?

I was answering the thread title and OP.

 

[MickeyLee]

As a tall bitch I can testify that fragile men will break the fuck down over being of size or out sized.

Like, at a shoe store some rando got seriously torqued about us having the same shoe size.

This is not an action on my part. The problem is all reaction on the rando's side of interaction.

 

[Tight_N_Juicy]

You get emasculated?

You seem very focused on me. Why? Is your life that boring? Because I'm not that interesting.

 

[MickeyLee]

He's probably got a mad crush in you.
