Pterodactyl attack.

There are all sorts of hand holding techniques, the simple cup, the more intimate interlocking fingers, or my personal hell the one finger hold. What are you trying to accomplish here? Are you afraid of getting lost, or dragged away by a pterodactyl on your way from the car to the grocery? You can hold hands in the movie theater, but it really makes eating popcorn really hard. (Once I got my head stuck in the popcorn tub) All you are really accomplishing is a through transfer of germs.

The worst hand holding is what I refer to as the circus elephant. Think back to that dorky couple in high school that was always holding hands. The girl was much more excited about the concept so in protest the guy would walk slower so it looked as if the girl was dragging the guy down the hallway. Her arm stretched back and his forward, trunk to tail leading the way. There are small nuances to hand hold besides just your general technique. Firmness of grip, the occasional hand squeeze (yup I am still here just in case your hand went numb), whether you are going to swing hands while you walk, and determining who is the lead (back to the circus elephant analogy). And lastly who is going to lose their dominant hand? I mean if I have to walk around only using my left hand to get things off shelves or press elevator buttons, I am at a serious disadvantage. And just think what would happen if that pterodactyl did show up, trying fighting off that bugger with your left hand because your right hand is locked in a finger wrapped, extra tight hand swinging nightmare while she is trying to run away and you are trying to fight. No thanks. I am going to keep both hands free thank you very much.
