Handshakes with Women

[NinjaLids]

i...refuse to shake hands. if someone holds out their hand, i look them in the eye with an evil look and say "ya...nice to meet you." or something along those lines. usually the awkwardness make sure they never make me shake their hand again :D

[kirikirimiau]

Ja!, I have the same t-shirt and I bought it on the street for 20 pesos in México, like 5 months ago........ by the way..... 20 pesos are like....... a dollar fifty maybe less, now that's cool

[s0ciallyawkward1]

until 0:11 i thought you were talking about the fruit. I was so confused lol

[MyPurseBilly]

I hate handshakes. To be honest, w/ strangers, I really hate physical contact of any kind. Why can't I just say hello?? Gosh..I'm awful.

[tomboyfimls28]

WHAT?!?!?! AMAZING FRIENDS ENCOURAGE OTHER FRIENDS TO GO TO FSU!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING SO DISGUSTING?!?!?!

[dannerzme]

Why is "Shanking Bigfoot" the first suggested video after this one ended?

[dannerzme]

@dannerzme ok, now I know...

[diannasiemens8]

yeaa forr fist bump!

i definitly dont like handshakes, im one of those dead corpses =P

[ItsGrantCasual]

didnt notice that till you mentioned it--think i sqeez their hand when i go to shake--same for kids of all sizes

[hermanhedning93]

When you're shaking hands and squeeze the other guys hand you're not saying "I am a real man", you're saying " I'm compensating for my very small penis." Just thought you should know :)

[xOxCrapWeaselxOx]

This is the video were you turned really good looking and then continued looking really good for the rest of the videos. :) js

[manuelbatista99]

wtf... my sisterr introuded me to a gurl... i handshaked the girl..da other day my sister said tat u shouldnt handshake gurls cus its low.... wtf

[Tabicat96]

where i live in england, we have hertfordshire spiders... they can get to like, 10cm accrossD:

[happybea]

my hands always get moist when i have to shake hands with a guy

i try to warn them but they don't listen and grab it anyway

then they make 'the face'

and afterwards, i just stay the most still possible to not the moisture sink in

talk about awkward

[crazyheadmaize]

I played the apple game. 5:06 :)

[MyPurseBilly]

People have told me my handshake is too firm. I'm a girl.

[ccbunnyrabbit]

i do not touch guys hands.. i tell my guy friends this and they ask me why and tell them because you guys Fap. then there response is ' ... there clean.....' then mumble kinda.

[Deaner3]

I'm a girl and I hate shaking hands with girls. Or guys. It's just awkward.

...Maybe I'm just awkward.

[schneebtastic]

"Hey, I'm Julie. Nice to meet you." omg.

[nonibee9]

I actually hate handshakes in general =P I lived in the south too long - I just hug people, even if I've just met them, usually

[jmarie120]

i dont know what women youre shakin hand with. the last lady i shook hands with nearly broke my wrist

[extraviMaddie1234]

zak when i meet you can i fist bump you?

[Cristalmate]

I'm a women, and i guess i do the "something better" part, i give everyone kisses on the cheek. i'm not french,. :)

[doopbdoop1]

lol i am america and so r u in the background

[MsTuber2011]

STOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEE­EEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD

[TheAussieIrish]

I have a habit of just hugging people when I meet them. Unless it's in a professional context. I think it creeps some people out.

[Cellistchica]

I love it when I shake a dude's hand and he's all surprised. On the other hand it's extremely pathetic when a guy has a limp hand.

P.S. Nice what-looks-like-a-buzz-lightye­ar-pillowcase in this. Seriously that made my day.

[rincewind4x2]

how come you gameboy pocket can play pokemon gold?



[katielawson11]

YOUR HOT

[rach64xoxo]

i hate when im in church and we have to shake hands and their hands are all limp... its so annoying

[carlo88moe]

even shaking hands with dudes seems an awfully formal thing if were dressed in suit and tie, that whole spiel about asserting dominance and heralding virility is basically archaic douchebaggery, im fine with a "wats up *head nod*, not too intrusive, but im more of a 'meh' guy myself...meaning im not a 'bra'

[MicroscopeSparkles]

*stares in eyes, asserts dominance* I AM A REAL WO-MAN.

[aliceversion1000]

when you said 'stop lying' i genuinely felt bad about myself and thought i really had lied to you. then i remembered i hadnt and it was all ok

[saltwatertaffynlife]

what about a secret handshake. please?

[cedezrants]

FYI, generic cereal is BETTER than the real thing. So suck on that. :p

[TheStephasaur]

How about just a hug? Thats what I do with all my guy friends :3

[lilyisdusty]

i know, when i shake hands with my friends they just lightly touch your palm and then turn away. i always feel so rejected.

[HikaRootbeer]

I'm a girl, and I actually judge guys on their handshakes. 90% of the men whos hands I shake do it how you'd expect a girl to! I even give them a second chance after explaining and they still suck! My female friends shake better than them! I take PRIDE in my handshakes.

[SamGotBored]

7:33. I win.

[sugarbopbop]

When I shake hands I try extra hard, especially when I shake hands with a man... I feel like I must Prove myself... Yes, prove with a capital P... That's how obligated I feel to do my Proving.

[ruminANTics]

Btw, your lips look incredibly red in this...

And you make me laugh.

[rvblover526]

fuck you zak friends should MAKE friends go to florida state university jack-ass and i bet you dont shake hands firmly u just flop ass-hole

[lidiluvu]

OMCheezits I live next to FSU, that totally took me off guard. Since I live here I guess I should defend it. Erm... it ain't so bad. Even though I want to go to oregon instead.

Oh btw don't worry when I shake hands I do it well and assertively.

[lidiluvu]

OMCheezits I live next to FSU, that totally took me off guard. Since I live here I guess I should defend it. Erm... it ain't so bad. Even though I want to go to oregon instead.

[ahhhkat]

I just think handshakes altogether are quite awkward.. Especially if their hand is really sweaty. Makes me nervous. Or if they don't shake your hand, but hold it. Then I think, "Hey.. Umm, that was not an invitation to hold my hand."

[Flowerdream0394]

I'm a girl and I squeeze hands :P baha :)

[clickarina]

A handshake from me will leave you emasculated, but you’ll like it anyway because of my incredibly soft hands.

[mwahhmwahhx3]

how is the title sexist?

[franniexoxo]

Thats normal spider size, for australians

[daisyehh]

Best thing ever - when a boy kisses your hand when you first meet :) Dont know why, but I just adore that.

[randomcub3d]

if i ever meet you im gonna see if i can pass ur handshake test (Im a girl)

[middlekid95]

Lol i'm a girl, and I never thought of it that way.... oops

[lucysour]

Fist bumb + explode it.

[FullMetalMaiden90]

I'm more of a hugger ^.^

[nazilepocem]

it didnt work on my com

[Jliz2ly]

i try! i assert my dominance!

[Audrey1700]

At the beginning of the school year, we had to go to a meet and greet to meet our new teachers. During this meet and greet, I had the honour of meeting my creepy old World Geography teacher. He proceeded to shake my hand. I'm one of those girls who don't shake back, and apparently he's one of those guys who don't shake back. We were holding hands for what felt like hours. That was unbearable. I wish I had seen this video before then so I could have shaken his hand, and avoided the akwardness.

[canuZme]

Ur funny dude :-) uve earned urself another subscriber! keep it up!

[rubberstarlet]

ha i give great handshakes

[Bamitsashley92]

haha!  Im a girl and i normally dont handshake, i prefer high fives! haha :D

[Sarahendipity]

Oh hey Stephen Colbert creepin in the background......

[BFFbaby5771]

lol luv the vid!!!! u have a lisp!!!! srry but its sorta funny!!!!!

[ilaugheasy23]

Love the I am america and so can you in the backround.

And I love the apple game,its funny how people get there panties in a bunch over products.

[Estilum]

while your shaking someones hand try to start a thumb war with them

[CreepyBrian]

I know what you mean about the handshake, it's really annoying when you give one and the other person acts like it's completely afraid of touching you >.>

[blairheir721]

in my experience girls don't like shaking hands...rather they enjoy it a lot more if when you first meet them you just start making out...it works 1 out of every 32 times i try it

[chakk4]

i've been told by multiple people that i have a very strong, firm handshake. and i'm a woman ;)

[Amandarockzhard]

This video made my day itz so funny! and i've had a crapy day! stupid colds hate being sick

[JiNeLl5]

i like to bump hands hehe =) ur funnny

[nodesnetwork]

There is nothing creepy about hugs. Ask women if they would like a hug. Most will accept and it's much better than a handshake. You can also hug guys. Most people like hugs and it's less about "dominance."

[wfgattabb]

you remind me of this kid that i know like seriously you have the same kind of humor =]

[me4reel]

omg, i shook so many guys hands last night at my first school dance because they offered.....but i guess they thought i couldnt withstand a regualr handshake because everyone of them barely held my hand....panzies, lol

[CrushersCharisma]

@me4reel I was taught to have a firm one jolt handshake. When I get the limp hand from guys I get annoyed... I just hope they learn really handshake from then on.

[HANNAHxoNICHOLE]

is it weird that im really wondering who is in that picture on whatever is laying on your bed behind you?

[sparklesandpony]

hahahhaha :) I loved the end. being creepy is the best :)

[lalakaitlin]

Well, I'm not gonna lie you just made my night zak lol :]

[thedjbogus]

you should do standup comedy.

[thatzak]

I could never do standup comedy. I'd have trouble remember everything, and as soon as I'd make a joke that bombed, I would get really nervous and the rest of my act would suffer greatly.

[thedjbogus]

haha, well then just keep up the funny youtube videos then. i love em'.

[TheStarGurl]

yeah my shaking sucks haha i would give you a hug :)

[cool3disk]

nice video zak

[JesseAndMike]

Haha! The "friends don't let friends" bumper stickers are annoying. :S

[kelseypelletier1]

haha.. this is the first video ive ever seen of yours....and your kinda mean...but very funny :)

[thatzak]

how am I mean?

[kelseypelletier1]

well... i think i meant to say your honest...not mean. sorry :)

[zabi333]

Lol it is mean!

Sexist... I don't care if it's the truth. it's rude. The title is putting woman down :[

Ooo do you remember me thatzac?! (you commented LCSsings's video)

[thatzak]

The title is not sexist. It just mentions women. If the title was something like "Women are Inferior" or "Women make the best sandwiches" then that would be sexist. Sexism also implies discrimination and there is no discriminating here. Also, this is an observation between the differences between men and women, I do not say or imply that men are better.

and I do remember you.

[woofy13kiku]

@thatzak

The point that zabi333 is trying to make is that you're trying to imply that ALL women don't try to assert themselves, as though women aren't ambitious. Also, you're forgetting that shaking hands is a form of acknowledging somebody as an equal. It's implied by your refusal to shake hands with women as failing to recognize them as an equal, as though they are too subhuman to be recognized as such. It really doesn't matter if the title says something verbatim. The video implies it.

[thatzak]

@woofy13kiku You're taking this way more seriously than it actually is. I have news for you. None of this video is real. The video was made for comedic purposes. I don't care whether or not you think it's funny, but it shouldn't be taken seriously. These are not my actual opinions. I don't actually refuse to shake hands with women.

[woofy13kiku]

I'm sorry then. Still, jokes like that can very easily cross the line.

Anyway, I really like your other videos, though. Keep it up.

[masterka]

@thatzak If the title was "Women are Inferior" that would be plain stupid. But your observations are of dubious meaning and there's a lot of signs that might imply sexist attitude. Of course - you say you meant no discrimination, still we see what we see and discrimination is not just giving simple statements like "I hate women", it manifest itself greatly in simple real life situation e. g. when one doesn't like handshakes with women for whatever ideology (you embrace masculinity). Not funny...

[thatzak]

@masterka I'm joking. You say that what I said is not funny and that's okay, but the fact that I'm joking means it shouldn't be taking seriously. I don't mean what I say. Also, my reasoning is very important. I don't like a limp wrist handshake no matter what sex it comes from. I'm not saying the person has to crush my hand, I'm saying I prefer when the person makes an effort. In my experience, this typically happens with women. I will make jokes about anything, nothing is off limits.

[masterka]

@thatzak I guess you too have a point. Concerning jokes, you're absolutely right, no topis is off limits. Best!

[FlagsRox14]

3:47 nice but i have a friend who loves mac computer and he knows almost everything about macs and pcs so i bet if i asked him what are the advantages of a mac over a pc it would be easy to beat your score.

[SoarOfTheConchords]

You sir, bring up a lot of what goes through my mind in your videos. Kudos!

[thatzak]

thanks bro! I guess we think a lot alike then.

[rachelray234]

i can't believe you have friends who talk in voices like that. and hey, i think i have a pretty good handshake. maybe not the break your hand kind, but at least i don't have corpse hands.

[KarmaGirlTH]

here in Portugal, everyone kisses everyone. it's too much physical contact.

[feellinecancer]

p.s. I KNOW IM THE COOLEST CAT COS I'M THE CAT LADY OF YOUTUBE

[feellinecancer]

Is it weird that every time I think of handshakes or see someone do one I think of demetri martin?

PUSSY HANDSHAKES.

lmao ^^

also I looked at your commenters...most of them are so...stupid ._.

[thatzak]

nope, it's quite normal actually.

and telllllllll me about it! -_-

[Chelseaxoh]

'Wayyy to end the video on a creepy note'

[yubbles09]

My dad yelled at me in third grade about my wimpy handshake as a girl, so since I sure as hell try. My fifth grade teacher even noticed it

[thatzak]

your dad sounds like a great man

[LACKproductions]

haha. FSU does kind of suck, though.

[thatzak]

my sister graduated from there so it must suck

[LACKproductions]

ha. i haven't met your sister, but i have met my spanish teacher, who is also an FSU graduate. enough said.

[AwkwardJdizzle]

u look like eric from that 70's show.

[thatzak]

I don't see the resemblance

[AwkwardJdizzle]

something about the amount of sarcasm in your voice and the facial expressions you make. also, the hair. i dont think its a bad thing. but very intriguing my friend.

[thatzak]

oh ok then, I'll take that as a compliment.

[lazykidzproductionz]

5:43 APPLE GAME FOR THE WIN.

[thatzak]

I'm going to have to beat your record!

[lazykidzproductionz]

Its a SUPER fun Game.

[lazykidzproductionz]

5:43 Apple Game FOR THE WIN.

[LesIsMore1375]

But I like the guy to be dominant!

[SuperDupeWizzKid]

i always handshake hard....sounds kinda bad, but i can't pin down as to why....

but yeah, i always do.

[JakeCoff]

haha i thought you ment a store that sells apples... like the food

[thatzak]

LOL! Well you could try that but I don't think it will work =)

[blumic]

I agree with the handshake thing, you never know when to go hard or soft with women. Some women are like limp and then you don't want to go hard...it's a difficult concept indeed.

[jacokaleigh]

ah whatever,im a good hand shaker?

haha(:

[shelbyfp]

haha i dont like shaking hands i like doing something better! lol ;)

[thatzak]

don't we all!

[Sarah7654]

Lol. Gameboy Pocket. xD

I love you. Haha.

Game nerds are bomb.

[thatzak]

very true!

[LCSsings]

Aw shoo'. At least you didn't say friends don't let friends say poop.

yeah i don't like shaking hands with guys either, i like hugz!

[thatzak]

Don't say poop!

[iluvsk8rboys2008]

haha love the end <3

[RASHIDRAWR]

all girls hugs. the first i was back at school. THATS ALL THEY DID! It be like "HI OMG I HAVENT SEE YOU IN LIKE FOREVER!"

"But we just hung out yesterday..."

I agreed

[mmmmichaela]

I don't do handshakes.

I'm a hugger.

[billgrip]

And as you already may have guessed, I am the coolest cat in the alley.

[billgrip]

Hahaha, that's awesome dude.  It's about time someone addressed the handshakes with women issue. Not my favorite situation either.

[StrummingMusic]

ah it posted! yesss

[iamsamj1]

your awesomee.!

[silverstatus]

Honest question. Who are you and who are you trying to be like.

[thatzak]

I'm Zach, and I'm not trying to be like anyone.

[silverstatus]

Hey Zach, you're too nice in your videos. Grow some balls and create opinions and ideas. then organize those, mix up some witty comments, then you're a pro.

[thatzak]

get a solid subscriber base going and then we'll talk ;)

[silverstatus]

I'd like you to notice that we haven't made a video in over three years, the account is purely made for the purpose of expression and getting updates on my favorite youtubers. This said, that means I don't really need subscribers, for they would be disappointed, because I will never make another video. This said, your comment is neglected, it has no value, nor does any meaning whatsoever. If you wanna argue, we can go into emotion, hilarity, intelligence, charisma and looks. I win in all.

[thatzak]

What I'm saying is, don't give out any criticism when you have no idea what you're talking about. An unexperienced guitarist doesn't tell an expert how to play their guitar. I've been doing this for two years now, and I know what direction my channel is heading in. I am completely self aware. Since I am clearly not one of your favorite youtubers, go take all that emotion, hilarity, intelligence, charisma, and looks somewhere else because you are a thorn in my side.

[silverstatus]

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you are an expert. An expert at what might I add? Experts get paid. Experts are experts. For you to call yourself that, is an insult to real EXPERTS

[thatzak]

Actually, I'm a youtube partner and I get paid to make videos. I wasn't calling myself an expert, I was merely stating that I am no novice. I would like to personally take the time to thank you for upping my comment count. More comments equals more views which increases the chances of someone stumbling upon my video and subscribing to me. I just posted a new video, care to troll me on that one? Thanks again! =)

[adigitalb]

LOL PWNAGE :D

[silverstatus]

I'm suuuuuure commenting like three times will make you famous. By the way, does any youtube star comment back or reply in their videos? No they don't. So if you wanna be famous, be quiet.

[thatzak]

It won't make me famous, but it's a small step. And yes, youtube stars do reply like Whatthebuckshow. People are more likely to comment when they know that you're going to reply. I never claimed to want to be famous in the first place. Once again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

[thatzak]

I actually saw that on a t-shirt =P

[ZakToTheFuture]

I approve =)

[laf1024]

hey shaking a females hand isn't wrong it is fair you can shake a man's hand you can shake a woman's hand or pound fists, high 5 them , pinch their butts; grab their boob, it's all good. (And before anyone freaks out, yes i am joking).

[dukebball126]

aren't we a little old to be playing pokemon yellow? haha

[thatzak]

False, I've been playing Pokemon for over a decade and I don't expect to stop anytime soon. You are never too old for anything.

[kristINtheMoment]

i give great handshakes!! I have that problem when i give guys handshakes. guys usually dont try when they shake my hand. its very annoying- it makes me think they are weak. just sayin. lol and dont stand up for those guys saying they dont want to hurt me..haha nope they dont put in any effort. just stick their hand out there for me to shake..like they do in narnia

[thatzak]

Kristen, you were lilwilson! I have a hard time believing htat you give great handshakes. You'll have to prove yourself =P

[cwtchesandchaos]

you are awesome! woop! :)

[izzytunz28]

Im the coolest cat in the alley ..

:)

[normalwerido]

your awesome! i want to try the mac game.

[thatzak]

Try it and let me know what your time is.

[normalwerido]

[TheDevCamExperience]

your lips look all purply red

lulzzzz

[Eloisethe2nd]

dude google wolf spider

BIG ASS SCARY SPIDER!!

thank god i have only ever seen one once.

[thatzak]

Wolf spiders are big, but not as big as a gameboy pocket.

[xxGeishaDollxx]

I'm a woman, &if I shook ur hand I'd squeeze until all blood flow was cut off ^_^

Now thats what u call ending a creepy note lol

Awesome vid

~Lorissa~

[thatzak]

If we ever meet, I expect that handshake.

[beneaththeheart92]

Haha I only handshake with adults or if the guy calls for one. Other than that I hug or high five or just say hi.

[thatzak]

and that's the right way to do it ;)

[HANNAHxoNICHOLE]

hahaha.

"you have a serious pest problem on your hands."

[twilightlvrforeva]

haha....guys....

[thatzak]

[wals1234567890]

in my school we have this class in homeroom called cpr where we all learn to hand shake and let me say this...im a girl and i insert some domanance like guys!

[thatzak]

You had to learn how to handshake? What kind of class is this? That's like learning how to tie shoes!

And good job at asserting your dominance =)

[wals1234567890]

yea it was a homeroom class!!! its called C.P.R [no not the life saving technique :)]

i no rite its really dumb! 20 minutes of talking about being powerful and respectful!!! its weird!

[laurchy95]

dog 295793286579842376982345 stars for playing with fire indoors(:

[thebandz]

YES finnaly someone who agrees that the 5 star thing is annoying!

[thatzak]

I can't stand it! Or when there's an annotation that says "Leave a comment telling me what your favorite tv show is!"

It's all dumb, let the video speak for itself without having random boxes pop up.

[CatchingRainbowS]

lol i agree 100% with desirousiris

[thatzak]

I'm glad to have made your day too!

[rainydaysarelove]

[thatzak]

[rainydaysarelove]

[wazzootee]

I can't believe you have friends.

[thatzak]
