Catfight

catfighting in details

One of the most frequent questions from women is about catfight pre-match preparations. To wit:

"We are in the room. The guys are there. We are ready to start. Now what do we do? How do we start?"

Great question and it is a real issue for many catfight women because a scene can greatly enhance the fun of a catfight match and sometimes can be as moving, arousing, and fun as the catfight match itself. While it most often occurs in a rules catfight, scenes can be an issue in a wrestling match as well.

So if you are going to do a catfight scene before tangling, you need to plan it and treat it as part of the match. Catfight opponents should talk about possible scenes.Will you play out some scenario, dress in any special way, argue about something, have some preliminary vignette? Will you be cordial right up to the match or will you take an attitude with each other. Will you play out a fake argument or act coldly as rivals? And even if there is no specific catfight scene planned, there is the issue of preliminaries. What do you do before the catfight match begins? When do you actually start catfighting? How will you handle attire?

Bitch! and Other Preliminaries

Some women like an aggressive build-up while some just can not get into it. Talk it out by phone as you discuss the encounter and go over preparations a couple of times before you actually meet. Most women aren't actresses. If you're going to do a whole catfight scene, you need to talk together to set parameters, explain "attitudes", etc. In other words, no one should be surprised during the catfight If you decide to actually do a build up catfight scene, there are some rules you should be conscious of.
Make clear what your catfight opponent does not want to hear. She may be embarassed by allusions to part of her body or offended by racial, ethnic, class or sexual slurs. The best advice is to refrain from using any of these unless both opponents have specifically called for it. A slur too close to home can be painful and can spoil the entire catfight experience. Finally, decide when you're going to start the catfight scene and how long it will take, more or less. You do not want to walk into a room expecting a cordial greeting and have someone call you names. If the scene will commence the moment you walk into the room, make that clear. Also, your opponent may not want to argue for a half hour, no matter how catty you are feeling at the time.

Ready?

As silly as it might seem, how you enter the room for the catfight can be an awkward issue. My preference is for both women to retire the moment everyone is together and then talk over last minute issues and get into the catfighting clothing you willl wear to enter the room. Then walk in together.

Any way you do it, you should try to be together most of the time. Do not keep the other catfight opponent waiting. But once you are in the catfight room, whether you are planning a catfight scene or not, there are some important issues to be clear on.

You're in Charge!

The catfight women must be in charge of the situation. Giving up control can result in one of you feeling intimidated, pressured, embarassed or even frightened and that will be a very negative catfight experience for both of you. The observers are going to be excited so make clear with both of them that they don't tell you to begin, encourage you to start, ask you when you're going to get going or explain what you should do. They just watch and, if they have little pieces of advice, they can impart these before the catfight couples are together. Once the catfight preparations have begun, observers should have as little verbal contact with the fighters as possible. Let the catfighters concentrate on what they're about to do. Second, play your catfight scene any way you want but never surprise the catfight opponent with a let's get started. In other words, the commencement of the catfight match should depend on a signal between combatants.

I use the shoe trick mostly. Goes like this:

I usually wear heels or maybe open toe sandals to enter a room for a match and will sit down with them on. I ask my opponent to do the same. Keep the shoes on. And I give her the courtesy (especially if she's less experienced in catfights than me) of giving the first signal.

When she's ready, she slips one foot out of her shoe (a common and furtive gesture). If I am ready, I'll do the same. Then, when I slip out of my shoe, she can ask openly if I'm ready and I will respond that I am and we can slip out of the other shoe and...well, whatever else we need to slip out of. If I don't reciprocate the gesture, she waits until I do. Simple to do without attracting any attention.

Stripping Down

You can do this any way you want in or before the catfight but you should make clear how it will be done. There are people watching and they willl watch every move. Stand facing each other and match each other garment for garment. By agreement, one of you takes the lead. She removes something and the opponent immediately begins doing the same. The catfight leader waits until the opponent has the garment removed before going on to the next garment. Go as slowly as you need to for comfort but do not prolong it. It is not a race but it's not a striptease either. And, of course, don't take off anything that hasn't been agreed to before the catfhing. Keep your eyes on each other. Steer clear of looking over to the observers. This is the time for you to focus. Unless you're playing a nasty catfight scene, smile a bit at her and try to make her feel as comfortable as you can. But make no comments. When you're both down in a catfight , nod once to each other and, when both have nodded, come together and assume your starting positions. Nod to each other once more and start the catfight. Never let the guys say One, Two, Three...go or ask if you're ready or anything like that. You two can count and it is absolutely essential that you women control the pace and development of this catfight situation. Essential that you never give control up to either of the people watching the catfight.
