High Five
You just get such a visceral rush when you get a rockin high five!
Because Maverick and Goose didn't give each other's thumbs ups. They went for that sweet, sweet hi-low double-five combo like true ballers. #IFeelTheNeedTheNeedForSpeed
There’s something incredibly satisfying about the smack of two peoples’ hands when they are truly happy/excited/in tune with something important to them!
It's super satisfying to hear the thunderous clap of a high five.
Thumbs Up
High-fives require more coordination than I'm capable of. And generally I'm not a fan of touching people. A thumbs up is a nice recognition from a safe distance that requires nothing from me.
I'm one of those socially awkward people that has bad hand-eye coordination and manages to either miss the other person's hand or move too slow — resulting in a weak, unsatisfying smoosh instead of a smack. The high-fiver usually regrets offering me one. Also germs.
I always manage to mess up my high fives by slapping half a hand or tripping or missing my friend's hand entirely. Awkwardness ensues.
Have you seen those awkward videos of people giving high fives that are ill-timed or unreciprocated? I don't want to end up a meme. A thumbs up is easy and straightforward.
