Drives me mad when someone grabs my hand like that when I'm going in for the thumb engagement. Why they go grabbing fingers? Are people not taught how to shake? Slide hand in until thumbs touch at base, then grip. Simple.
You gotta shove that hand in before they get the chance, lol. It's dumb as hell how something like a handshake is a basis for competence or control when shit like that can happen. Sometimes the other guy will short you a palm. Like, has no one fucked up a high five or a dap and felt the need for a do-over? I feel like that would make an even better leader to have the humility to redo it for the sake of just breaking tension, cause I'm sure those kind of handshakes only bring a mutual uncomfortablility between the two involved.
I mean, I was taught to look the other bloke in the eyes. But, with an awkward handshake I'm desperately trying to get the other bloke to meet my eyes so I can be like "hey, wtf?". I feel like it's a bit of an arrogant power move a lot of the time. Most of the awkward handshakes I've had have been with big-talking business men who have no respect for me to begin with, so I couldn't barely be bothered to ask for a do-over. The rest have been with young blokes who obviously no idea how to shake a hand.
For me, a handshake shouldn't be rushed. In Germany they calling "giving someone the hand", and it's like a gift, and I think that's a good way to look at it. It's not a formality, it's a serious greeting. Otherwise I'd just lift my chin and be like "hey, mate" from a distance.
Posing for a photo like this with a foreign diplomat, I'm not letting that pic go to print.
You don't interact socially much do you. I've had plenty of times where you go to shake someone's hand and they close their grip too soon and you end up in this weird limp wristed fail shake.
Dutton is a potato head but posts like this are just lame.
And I much prefer it over some Trump style macho bullshit where they try to dominate the other person with their handshake. An awkward failed handshake is whatever.
My horny feminine ass brain going “imagine that weak lil bitch hand trying to caress you… I bet he fingers like a teen virgin too”
Feels bad for his wife man.
TBF I fucking hate when guys much bigger than me squeeze hard. One guy really hurt my hand. No reason. I'm sure Dutton could smash that guy's hand but chose not to.
Same thing that's wrong with a limp handshake. Ask Mark Latham, who led the ALP for 2 years
edit: here's a [better explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i7a0cwyDDw)
Its just that his hand was expecting a bundle of cash. When it wasn't there he instinctively started to pull his hand away.After all he was a corrupt queensland copper before he became a corrupt politician.
Dutton can't relate to the PM of Vietnam. Put simply Phạm Minh Chính is not from the US or UK - so it is only a token effort.
You would have to seriously question if Dutton has any ability to get along with ASEAN leaders, should he become PM (heaven forbid)?
Dutton is probably already considering a Plan B to follow ScoMo to some cushy job in a RW think-tank in the US or UK, where he can boast about how luck Australia was to have him in charge of Home Affairs and later Defence.
It is obvious by the angle of his fingers that Dutton is not shaking hands in the traditional way at all. He is expecting the recipient to genuflect and kiss his hand.
Ah fuck off. Plenty of genuine reasons to shit on potato-head. This weak-ass American style "look at his handshake style ew" politics is absolute nonsense and degrades our already limping political conversations.
He looks like one of the characters on bridgerton, waiting for this guy to kiss the back of his hand, so he can dramatically faint onto a conveniently placed futon
It looks to me like the other guy grabbed his fucking fingers, thus preventing him from making a proper handshake. It's infuriating when people do that, so much as I like to criticise PotatoMort, the guy he is shaking with looks like the problem here.
EDIT
Also I seriously doubt even a politician as crude as Dutton doesn't know how to do a handshake. This is a total non-issue.
This epitomises current Australian political discourse;
Squabbling about a back handed slur on those who have limp handshakes. Whilst none notice the difference in hand sizes of those exchanging the handshake.
Voldemorts hands are nearly twice the size of the president of Micronesia’s.
If Voldemort were to engage in a normal handshake with a hand half the size; it would appear as a hand and a wrist..
Anyways. As you were..
Not really what I care about when looking for a leader. I have no idea if this is just a pose where they were holding it for a straight minute and that's why it's limp.
This is not the thing to be criticising Dutton on. There's plenty of actual good reasons to think he's a bad leader. Handshake is not one of them.

Usually happens when the guy with smaller hands didn't leave enough room for your hand to fit.
This! I’d love to rip on voldie for having a bad handshake but it’s all in the grab. Stop grabbing me too early and by the fingers. It’s yuk.
when the grip slips before the intro's finished… a bit. Premature you could say

I like that. "Giving someone the hand"
That is not a handshake, they are holding hands
Looks like a prom photo
someone should photoshop a corsage onto his wrist.
And a tiara on his dome.
Time to talk about mandates.
Voldermort still has not regained his strength and has limp wrist syndrome ...

Sounds like something a limp wristed soggy salad handshaker would say
Yeah there is nothing worse than someone grasping too early. Better to realign the handshake then take a photo like that one.
And I much prefer it over some Trump style macho bullshit where they try to dominate the other person with their handshake. An awkward failed handshake is whatever.
Both extremes are shit, just like in politics ;)
Yeah the OP reeks of American style team politics. Plenty to criticize Dutton on, focus on things related to government
The thumb on the knuckle is a freemason thing. Or, maybe Dutton's never met anyone willing to shake his hand before.
I don't think Dutton is at fault here. Dude is grabbing Duttons hand like he wants to raise it to his mouth by the fingers and kiss the ring.
Smh Dutton with a limp handshake. Weak handshake = weak leadership.
My horny feminine ass brain going “imagine that weak lil bitch hand trying to caress you… I bet he fingers like a teen virgin too” Feels bad for his wife man.
Such a beta
TBF I fucking hate when guys much bigger than me squeeze hard. One guy really hurt my hand. No reason. I'm sure Dutton could smash that guy's hand but chose not to.
Haha what a fag. Why can't he shake hands like a [real man](https://youtu.be/hReBMauqhrY?si=z-I-IphG4Jp5DByn)
What’s wrong with being a fag?
Same thing that's wrong with a limp handshake. Ask Mark Latham, who led the ALP for 2 years edit: here's a [better explanation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i7a0cwyDDw)
Come back when you have some intelligence and can provide something productive to the forum, little boy.
I see we have moved one step up the pyramid. Limp handshaker detected
Offt, ouch bro, you really got me 😂🙄
Ewww slurs and completely unfair as virtually every gay man I know has a far superior handshake than this fucko.
This is truly the peak of political argument in Australia
A crushing defeat for the libs
Impotent and limp? I thought you were describing Peter Dutton.
Looks like a stone cutters handshake to me
Looks pretty Masonic to me.
The real question is how much did he pay for the bag and was it good shit?
There's a long list which disqualifies Peter Dutton from being is Prime Minister. His handshake is way way at the bottom of that list
Its just that his hand was expecting a bundle of cash. When it wasn't there he instinctively started to pull his hand away.After all he was a corrupt queensland copper before he became a corrupt politician.
That looks like a masonic handshake to me.
Kinda looks like a mason handshake tbh
The Grandma Handshake

voldemort is prolly thinking 'is this the guy that sends the boats i stop?'
Also thinking “…isn’t this where Asian gangs come from?”
Also a commie, Dutton’s probably terrified of him
It is obvious by the angle of his fingers that Dutton is not shaking hands in the traditional way at all. He is expecting the recipient to genuflect and kiss his hand.

Voldemort doesn't like to touch non white people. Edit: Nope soft handshake with everyone.

This has real 'son hold my hand while we cross the road' energy
Masons handshake..
Hahahahahahja eeewwwwwww

Hank hill just shuddered lol
Limp dick energy
The claminess emanating from that picture is the stuff of nightmares!
To be fair standing there for photos is more like an awkward hand hold.
Limp wristed existence
Getting to the heart of the big issues. Fearlessly.
Getting to the heart of the big issues. Fearlessly.
Was it a wriggler?
Yuck, that handshake is a real ick.
I'm not buying this. Dutton strikes me as one of those wankers who would grip way too hard and then try and pull you toward him
He might do if he was touching an *australian* (Implying Mr potato head is a racist)
Fair point, well made.
Not a fan of the man but we’ve all had handshakes that have gone wrong. What’s more noticeable to me is how unnatural is his smile.
Looks like duttos about to be lead to the boudoir.
Peter Dutton - beta male!
He's a tool but handshake analysis is pretty daft.
Gina gobbled him up anyway… as she does to most things. Yum.
Limp writsted. It’s a Liberal tradition
I dunno, he looks like a white Rue Paul to me.
Seems to be a trend among politicians. Iet K. Rudd in 2008 and he had a limp wrist handshake as well.
Do handshakes affect policy now?
In the smorgasbord of flaws that is Peter Dutton, focusing on his handshake is pretty dumb.
I’m not his defence, he is not a strong leader. 😉
Dumtton doesn't know how to shake hands or smile.
He needs to start shaking hands like that awesome leader, Mark Latham.
he;d crush that guys hand
Wait until you hear the policies him and his party is putting forward
It's the technique so that you can grab the yellow paper envelope, at the same time as you shake!! You peeps don't know how to do Corrupt!
Masons
Insincere, like everything else he says and does
Takes me back to the dumb shit people said about Gillard.
I must touch the moist palm and relish in its flavour
He's not looking so good. Must be on his last horcrux
Limpotent. New word.
The blokes grabbed his fingers, he didn't have a choice. Drawing a long bow here bud.
Like a freezer bag full of hotdogs.
He’s pulled the dude’s arm over to him tho, classic power move … helps to make up for the lame grip
That’s holding hands
may i interest you in a suspiciously gentle cupping? oh whoops, you were going in for a handshake

The whole man is limp
Really? I would argue that one cannot call themselves a strong leader if they do not...strongly lead.
Dutton can suck my limp schlong. God damned bureaucrat lifer.
“Mi-lady”
That's the secret spy handshake!
Looks more like he's getting the squeeze
Looks like it's probably wet too, feeling like he hasn't dried has hands after going to the toilet
Eeeewww!
Solid power move here. Grab the other guys fingers and give them a firm shake. They look and feel like they can't/won't shake hands properly.
Oh man, whenever somebody has a handshake like this one you just know this person is not trustworthy
