I was always told not to grip a female's hand hard when shaking. Most men just grip hard to prove something.

Judging someone by their handshake is overrated. Yes, some people are limp, some firm, some too firm, some grab you first and you get a bad or strange grip on them. (What will they think of me for such a strange grip?) What if they’re old? How firm is too firm? You don’t want to hurt Grandpa but you don’t want him to think you’re a wuss either. My nephew is grown now and nearly breaks my hand when we see each other twice a year. Did I grip him too hard in the past? There’s no way you should judge someone by their handshake except just on the technique of their handshake alone.

Possibly they don't like shaking hands, but do it out of accepted convention. Some people just don't like being touched, even casually. ;)

I generally don't like a sloppy handshake. It's as if they simply can't be bothered. But it is important to keep in mind that different cultures do things differentley. Some cultures consider giving a firm handshake as a challenge or sign of dominance so they will offer a sloppy hand as a sign of respect and non-aggression. It depends where you live and who you are meeting.

I immediately think that this person does not meet enough people where a proper handshake is appreciated. Is this the type of person I should be dealing with?

A man with a week handshake, I think effeminate. Woman with a weak handshake, I think nothing of it.

That they are smart enough to not to try to prove they have lots of strength in their hands.
I always shake someone's hands with care. I know that if I do it won't be contest to see who can hurt the other person.
If the guy is a surgeon or even a mechanic you don't want to be cranking down on his hands. That is how he makes his money, so don't do try to show them how strong you are.

They don't care enough to give a proper one, they have some kind of a muscle/nerve disease or they were never taught, what a handshake is.

I grew up in the south where handshakes are almost a competition of stregth. A weak handshake there not only says you have weak character, but will likely result in a crushed hand ;-)
