Bonobo chimps basically sh@g each other as a greeting. Might suggest this approach at work, when I have to visit Miss Pertly-Uppington in Finance Dept.
Same here, I am uncomfortable doing it with strangers thoughWe have to shake hands at church and say "peace be with you"
In my old job (engineering buyer), meeting suppliers wa a regular thing, handshaking obligatory. I suspect women offer a weak handshake simply because its not part of their normal social interaction, so theyre (for the most part) uncomfortable with it. For that supposed reason, i never minded...but a limp handshake from a man...Agree, but a weak handshake from a woman annoys me too!

Hugs....?I don't like shaking hands.
I do it because social convention dictates, nothing else.
I can do hugs...firm is always good.Hugs....?
When you shake hands (firmness is a must, but not crushing, that's just silly), also touch their forearm with your other hand... it surreptitiously puts you in control. Not that I give two hoots about that sort of claptrap

on the original question, the wrap around fist normally followed with the shoulder touch is common among friends, ...
To me that would feel like either I was Andy Murray or someone from "da hood". Maybe I'm just getting old....
