I think this is actually more difficult for women, so men should relax and go with the flow.
Men approach shaking womens hands in several ways and as a woman you are never sure what to expect.
I have had overly firm, to point of hurting.
Others are too timid and it might seem like I am applying more pressure than they are.
Some shake, but then turn my hand and place their other hand over the back of my mine.
And yes, some still take my hand, turn it and kiss the back of it.
A lot could also do with the context of the event. A sports wrap up is quite different than say opening night at the theatre.
