That post reminds me of one of my favorite moves when meeting a girl I fancy. You give a good, firm handshake, but as you're doing it you slowly (almost imperceptibly) rotate your hand clockwise, so that the girl's hand ends up on top of yours. Don't break the handshake, but rather let her slide her hand off of yours. If done properly, it almost always leaves a great first impression. I think it invokes the "damsel in distress" reaction in women and makes you stand out in her mind.
Also, Xite said the handshake should only last 1 or 2 pumps and you let go, but I disagree. I don't think you're making a mistake as a man if you're never the first one to break off a handshake for the rest of your life. Obviously you aren't holding the other person's hand in place so they can't remove it, but you just allow them to break it off whenever they feel like it. I think it displays a great deal of confidence. Obviously if it goes on past 8 or 9 pumps, then the other guy probably has the same idea, so I guess you can go ahead and break it off lest you both look like losers.
