In a new study, researchers measured the grip and pinch strength of more than 200 male college students between 20 to 34 years old throughout North Carolina and found the modern man has much weaker hands than his father did 30 years ago.

In 1985, the average male could squeeze with 117 pounds of force. Today men squeeze with an average of 98 pounds of force — which is roughly equivalent to the average among women in their early 30s, according to a newly published study in the Journal of Hand Therapy.

“In 1985, the typical 30-to-34-year-old man could squeeze your hand with 31 pounds more force than the typical woman of that age could,” Christopher Ingram writes in The Washington Post. “But today, older millennial men and women are roughly equal when it comes to grip strength.”

Science Confirms: Millennial Men Have Weak Handshakes
 
Technology is making more and more manual labor obsolete.
I've shaken a lot of Millenial hands tha wouldn't dent a Dixie cup.

The point is that today's men aren't required to labor nearly as hard as the past generations of men have and I would gather that is the primary reason for this. That aside, every time I go to the gym it's packed with guys my age and younger than me lifting and working out so if you're concerned about masculinity in this country evaporating I think you can chill.
 
Part of that is all the hormone and endocrine disruptors in the enviroment now. Too much stuff out there feminizing males in a lot of areas.

Masculinity is all but dead. There's a few holdouts left, but the Pansy's are the majority.

And most of those guys in the gym are there same reason women are. Nothing to do with masculinity.

Right. Cruising for a real man.

Oh look, more "data", jeez, who fuggin' cares about your "handshaking" experiences with younger men. Like I always say, never let any media outlet tell you what a scientific study found and concluded - go read the primary research for yourself.

Here's the abstract:

Abstract
Study Design
Cross-sectional research design.

Introduction
Clinical practice continues to use normative data for grip and pinch measurements that were established in 1985. There is no updated norms despite different hand usage patterns in today's society.

Purpose of the Study
Measuring and comparing grip and pinch strengths with normative data is a valid method to determine hand function. This research was implemented to compare the grip and pinch measurements obtained from healthy millennials to the established norms and to describe hand usage patterns for millennials.

Methods
Grip and lateral pinch measurements were obtained from a sample of 237 healthy millennials (ages 20-34 years).

Results
Strength scores were statistically lower that older normative data in all millennial grip strengths, with the exception of the women in the age group of 30-34 years. Specifically, this statistically significant trend was observed in all male grip strengths, as well as in women in the age group of 20-24 years (bilateral grip) and 25-29 years (right grip). However, the lateral pinch data reflected was similar to the older norms with variances of 0.5-1 kg.

Conclusion
Current data reflect statistically significant differences from the norms for all male grip measurements, as well as for women in the age group of 20-24 years (bilateral grip) and 25-29 years (right grip). No statistical significance was observed in the independent-sample t tests for the lateral pinch in men of all age groups. Statistical significance was noted for lateral pinch for female age groups for the left hand (20-24 years) and for bilateral lateral pinches (30-34 years).

Level of evidence
IV.


The "conclusions" put forth in your link by The Federalist, and lemmingly pushed out here by you, have nothing to do with the scientists/study authors - as per usual. Furthermore, they have nothing to do with a fuggin' magical handshake. But as long as your small mind and biases were confirmed, what's a little dishonesty.


It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual of observers looking no further than the abstract - without even going to the entire paper – that the conclusions here reach by your rag and you, have nothing at all to do with the conclusions reached by the researchers themselves.



But that’s what hate and partisahshit do to you.

Not a word about a handshake is there love, Jesus what another typical reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach, even for the likes of your dumbfuck ass.

You shoot science down all day long, until you thing you can misrepresent it.

Go grip yourself, this is bogus as hell and indicates nothing at all related to your outlandish stupid irrelevant charge. And stop grabbing young males for "comparisson" studies of your own.
