Hello All,
I am new to this world. Currently happy with the cyber fights only. However once in a while the idea of irl comes to my mind, which i find fun in the first though but next moment i can see all the issues involved in it.


Would like to know what all precautions you take to keep yourself away from doctors, cops and the aunties next door while you indulge in irl actions.

Irl can very correct be risky

But done with consent

And in the right place I.e. a wrestling venue there are several here in the U.K. in major cities it is done

In privacy with consent and no neighbours to suspect anything

If you want to ask me any questions regards venues or prospective opponents or studio hire charges I will gladly assist

Agree with capperhollie. My checklist is:

- check her out on skype/zoom - will sort most fakes out immediately. Trust your instinct too.
- agree rules - no detail too small. eg one opponent I met had a like/fetish for touching/being touched by feet. Something she forgot to mention! There's nothing wrong in that, but it would have been nice to know at least in advance. Question maybe I should have asked beforehand: do you have anything particular you like in a wrestling match? (not sure if that would have got the answer but maybe something like that)
- arrange venue (as CH says there are some mat rooms/rings for use/hire, but you can also split hotel room costs; you must trust your instincts if you arrange meet at their home)
- ALWAYS meet near venue at a public location. eg I've met at the coffee shop in Cardiff Station. (and of course, for no shows, you can at least get a coffee)

Net meets thru here are pretty rare. I've managed 3 over the the last four years. All were fine, tho one match was a disappointment - opponent was a jobber (the foot woman as it happens) and she didn't say that in our chats. Plus 2 no shows.

My Aunt, way more experienced, did have one bad time - American woman she met at the gym, everything seemed good, she gave out all the right signals, seemed genuine, but turned the private wrestling match at her apartment into a slugfest. That was def the exception to the rule tho.

best of luck,
Tara

I am far from an expert in this area, but I have been lurking around here long enough that I have a few suggestions.

1)  Join the Voice Verified channel on Yahoo or now on fetlife.com.  This does a couple things for you.  First you know the people that are running it are legit.  The first thing they will want to do is voice verify you just as they have done with every other member there.  They may also do the Video Chat thing with Skype or Zoom or whatever.  The second thing they will do is give a community of people with prior experience who can recommend or tell you to avoid certain individuals.  I get the vibe that people that say one thing then do another don't last long there.  They are also really good about warning their members about prolific posers.
2)  Make and Post a verification picture of yourself - Basically this is a picture of you holding a sign stating your nickname here and what you are looking for.  Ideally it should be hand written as this is tougher to fake.  It does not have be overly sexy or show your face.  It should show enough that people can identify you as female.  There are many ladies here with pics like this.  Here is an example https://www.freecatfights.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=pictures;u=6477;view=50030  If you post it, be aware that there are some posers that may try to hijack it.  You may only want to share it on a platform like Unsee.  This will at least make it a bit harder to duplicate, embeds watermarks on the images, and offers some protection without sharing a lot of information.
3)  If you go with the verification picture, you should insist that your potential opponents share a similar one with you.  If they say stuff like "I don't have a camera", they are a poser.  This is 2020.  Unless you are living under a rock you have some kind of camera or access to a camera.  If they are unwilling to meet you halfway, you probably didn't want to go any further with them anyway.
4)  Ask for references - If they claim they have a X-Y  record, they should be able to connect you with at least one of those past foes.  While it may sound counter intuitive for your first match, it is usually better to have it with somebody with some experience.  You'll be more likely to loose the match, but have a much better experience.
5)  Meet in public first - If you get a bad vibe, bail out.  Better safe than sorry.

I would add that if you decide to take the route of appearing for a video production company, always find out who your opponent will be, insist on it, and research how experienced she is, you don't want a nasty surprise of a much more capable and bigger woman for your first competitive catfight, someone of your own size and experience will be best.

Also, always go through the rules before the start of a fight, so you're clear on what is allowed and disallowed, I had a partner who did a fight vs a busty woman, and at the end she said "I was surprised she didn't go for my boobs"

We had forgot that was allowed...... dammit!
