Handshake, high five, or fistbump/brohoof for greeting?

Personally, I go for the handshake.

I'd say handshake on strangers, it surely would be strange to greet them with a high five or fistbump. As for friends, I don't necessarily greet them in a physical way, although I've been doing those fistbumps occasionally.

If it's a brony, I'll brohoof. Otherwise, I'll handshake.


All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.

It boggles my mind that strangers need to touch each other before being friendly. With that being said, I generally prefer to go with a small salute or a small nod/bow, depending on the situation. Not completely adverse to handshakes though, since professional world runs on that contact :P

Does hiding in the corner count as a greeting?  :( 

 

For strangers, I'd be formal and do a handshake. The more friendly our relationship, the closer I'd get to offering a brohoof instead.

Yeah... I usually just say "Hi" or "hey" and the like.

 

There's handshakes for the formal greetings but other than that, a verbal acknowledgement of someone's existence is enough for me. Heck, even just a nod in each other's direction will work for me.

I do a handshake. I don't normally embrace people or do any of the other stuff unless I know them well.

When I meet someone for the first time; I give them a handshake.

None of the above. I have a germophobic aversion to shaking hands, but I still sometimes shake hands if someone offers because I don't want to be rude. And the fist bump just looks and feels silly to me.
