Is it permissible to shake hands with women over the thirty if one does not desire them?

It is not permissible for you to do so, because the woman mentioned is not an old woman. The criterion for differentiating between a woman who is desired and one who is not, in these rulings, is based on the common custom and prevailing practices of people, not on what a person personally feels.
