10 Reasons Fistbumps Are Better Than Handshakes
2014.08.10
We've posted about the different types of handshakes before and the importance of how one can make all the difference when you meet or greet someone. It tells a lot about your personality. But are handshakes the best way to greet someone? Let's fistbump from now on, because it is simply better. Here are 10 reasons to do it:

Some people handshake like they want to kill your hand. It's like the standard of being a human being is tested on how incredibly and ridiculously tight your handshake is. A fistbump won't hurt and you avoid all unnecessary awkwardness.

Clammy hands are the worst. You have to wipe your hands after. Or worse, get judged on how clammy your hands are.

What did I just touch?
![fistbump3_2.gif fistbump3_2.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump3_2.gif)
This is horrible!
![fistbump4.gif fistbump4.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump4.gif)
You get the nod when it happens. You don't even have to look at each other.

How manly are handshakes exactly? Not as manly as fistbumps.

And you can multitask while doing it too.

![fistbump7_2.gif fistbump7_2.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump7_2.gif)
Awesome happened.

A typical handshake takes 2-5 seconds. Fistbumps are so fast, they are extremely limited in human contact.

Handshakes take longer. Then the stares, smiles, and whatnot slowly become awkward..

![fistbump9_2.gif fistbump9_2.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump9_2.gif)
![fistbump9_3.gif fistbump9_3.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump9_3.gif)

![fistbump10.gif fistbump10.gif](/files/attach/images/3004/777/607/014/fistbump10.gif)
Unlike a handshake, you can't tell much from a fistbump. So if you want to remain a mystery, just fistbump.
But sadly, while everyone loves to fistbump, not everyone gets fistbumped.
