I'm a fan of handshakes.
I taught my sons how to have a great handshake since they were iddy biddy. We practiced all the time. LOL
I think it shows good manners and respect.

Lol are you worried about the person's hand being clean or dirty? I just wash my hands after.

I'll give you a personal example.
A few weeks ago I went to lunch with a male coworker (taurus), who is also a friend outside of work. We went to the restaurant where my virgo son works as a server. My son wasn't supposed to be working that day, but unbeknownst to me, he picked up a shift of a coworker and was sitting in the lobby when we arrived....because he got there too early and couldn't start yet.
When we walked in, he seen me. He came over and gave me a hug and then immediately extended his hand to shake my friends hand. They had never met before. Since he had the time to kill, we invited him to eat lunch with us. They talked to each other more than I did...lol.
Later that afternoon at work, my coworker went on and on about how respectful my son was and how it was a pleasure to be able to sit and have lunch with him.
I was so damn proud of that kid

Probably works the same way as a greeting...a gesture of civility.
