Just have a firm handshake without applying to much pressure if your formally meeting a women for the first time. You don't need to squeeze her hands to show your confidence, there are other ways to show it.
But anyway it was way easier when I lived in Spain for a while. It was basically unwritten code that first time greats with women you give them the peck on the cheek as they do you and with men it was the firm handshake.
But since I'm back in the US, I give a "loosely firm" handshake. Straight wrist and normal motion, but I don't wrap my fingers around them like a boa constrictor lol
That makes sense. :) Personally, I'm cool with that. Just because a woman is capable of being given a firm handshake doesn't mean that you HAVE to give her that, ya know? :)

There is nothing more unappealing than a limp handshake.
I think for both men and women, it should be a moderate squeeze. Not too strong, not too weak
Don't squeeze TOO hard, but your hand shouldn't just be gobbling there either.
If there are no bones breaking, it was not a handshake!
You can do a firm handshake without being a bone breaker. No need to squeeze hard.
Firm enough to feel like handshake but not bone crunching tight.
I once shock a girls hand so hard that she was shaking not JK
I scaled down from that point
Be gentle... Be GENTLE D;
If you want people to be gentle just stick out your hand palms down like royalty lol
Lol. I don't like firm handshakes. It really hurts, feels as they are going to break my bones D:
