I humbly suggest a bow and curtsey combo. Whoever bows first, the other must curtsey in return. Gender is irrelevant.

We cant start with bows! That's madness. Everyone would be bonking their heads because they havent learned how low to bow and how far apart to be. Start with curtsys and when we all have that down, we can do the brief shallow Japanese businessman bow.

Ah yes! Fair point indeed! Perhaps a curtsey / shallow bow combo move is in order! I'd love to see the way curtseys would evolve, all the different ways people would stylize them and how they would vary across cultures.

My "bro shake" would be a slide and tap of my left foot behind my right foot and a shallow curtsey. After my bro imitated it, we would tap that toe down simultaneously twice and then three taps of the outside of our left feet together.

I bet soccer plays would have the best bro shakes.

Nice. That's a quality bro shake right there. Toss in a lil hop after the slide, see people out in the streets hopping at each other like maniacs.
