When someone makes an introduction, always remember to stand (if you're seated at the time) so that you can shake hands on an even level. That goes for women as well. However, if you happen to be seated at a table where reaching the other person is difficult or awkward, you don't have to stand.
When to shake hands? The answer is, all the time. When in doubt, offer your hand. Shaking hands is appropriate when:
Renewing an acquaintance
Acknowledging someone who enters your office, cubicle, or home
Greeting a client, new coworker, host, or others you know or are meeting for the first time
Meeting someone you already know outside work or home
Concluding a transaction
Leaving a business or social event

In all maturity, if youre really getting a rise just by shaking hands you should be a little embarrassed. It is not wrong however to experiment so if you find yourself rising when shaking mens hands understand it is nature winning against nurture and that there is nothing wrong with it if it feels right to you

I think it's proper for a man to rise to shake hands with another man also

A man should rise to shake both a man's and woman's hand.

Recently my husband and I were in the doctor's consulting room. When the doctor, who is much younger than my husband entered the room, my husband who has lovely manners, rose to shake hands with the physician. The doctor at first protested: "No, no you don't have to...but that IS very nice." There is no substitute for personal dignity and good manners which is simply showing respect for others. Good for you that you care about such things! (My husband would have done the same for anyone no matter what his or her social status.)

Definitely stand for another man as well as a woman. It's nice to see someone that cares about manners and etiquette.

That's up to you pa. If you feel that you need to, go right ahead. For me, since I'm Purto Rican, when a guy greets a guy it's usually wit a hug. Just do what u gotta do.
