Upper Arm Grip

The upper arm grip enters the receiver's close intimate zone and may involve actual body contact, wherein the initator places a hand on the receivers arm while shaking hands. Unless the extra feeling is mutual or the initiator does not have a good reason for using a double-handed handshake, the receiver will become suspicious and mistrust the initiator's intentions. It is quite common to see politicians greeting voters and sales people meeting their new customers with a double-handed handshake without realizing that this can be a social suicide, putting off the receiver.
