Thinking out loud here. For women it's often the case in business meetings that their hands get crushed by male colleagues extending firm handshakes. If they wear a ring the pain is even worse. Handshake-friendly rings from cheap and soft material that resemble the real ring would be a great invention to sell along. I just hope the concept is not just my wishful thinking and perhaps others have thought about it too. With so many replicas of every fashionable product out there why wouldn't a replica of a ring made from soft squeezable material be possible?

I don't like people with soft/bad handshakes. I think that a handshake shows a lot about a person. I believe that you wrote that just for fun but if something like that would take place in reality people would be afraid to give their hand :)

The ideal is a warm handshake but with equal force applied from both parties, a woman can never apply as much force as a man so the man must tone it down to her level, plus some people grab and squeeze the other person's fingers which results in a very uncomfortable situation

Handshake is so customary that I don't think people can easily do without but my view is that we should stop using it, historically it has been a power game custom, whoever puts the hand on top declares he wants to be in control. people who don't get educated on this unconsciously communicate such messages even if they might not intend to
