How to overcome your first fight

There is something strange about MeetFighters.

At first glance, it feels like an obscure corner of the internet — a hidden world, dangerous, forbidden, and yet irresistibly attractive. Most people there stay behind their screens, half-hidden, half-tempted, scrolling through profiles late at night, curious but afraid. Only a few dare to cross that invisible line and take the first step.

I don’t know how your first fight was.

But mine — mine changed everything.

The moment before

I remember that day with absolute clarity.

I arrived in a taxi, my hands sweating, my heart pounding so hard I could almost hear it echo inside the car. The driver kept glancing at me in the mirror, maybe sensing my nervousness, maybe wondering what kind of meeting could make someone’s breathing so uneven.

When I stepped out, the air felt heavier than usual. My legs were trembling slightly — not from fear, exactly, but from anticipation. Every thought in my head was trying to convince me to turn around, to go home, to pretend this had never happened. But my body knew better. My body was ready.

I entered a small café near the hotel. It smelled of coffee and rain-soaked streets. I looked around, pretending to be calm, pretending I belonged there. And then, across the room, I saw him — the man I had been messaging with for days on MeetFighters.

Our eyes met, and in that instant, everything fell silent. 

There was a strange recognition, as if we had both been waiting for that exact moment. Two people, both nervous, both hiding the same excitement, both wondering what would happen next. Smile

A single glance — that’s all it took. A pulse, a heartbeat, a quiet agreement. That was where everything began.

Crossing the line

The fight itself was unlike anything I had imagined.

There was no aggression, no real competition — just movement, breathing, contact. It was strange, awkward at first, but also peaceful in a way I hadn’t expected. It felt like every fear I’d carried for years dissolved with each hold, each touch, each shared moment of trust.

And that night, I understood something profound: this wasn’t just about fighting. It was about connection — about finding someone who felt the same way I did. Someone who understood the pull of this world, the quiet need to test yourself, to surrender control and rediscover strength in another’s hands.

That first match opened a door I didn’t know existed. 

From that day on, one opponent after another appeared — each unique, each wonderful, each leaving a mark on me. And to every single one of them, I owe gratitude.

There have been more than fighters. There have been companions in courage, mirrors of my own fears and desires.

I’ve learned from them, respected them, and, in a way, loved them all.

What you will find

Are you scared of the other guy?. Well, that’s normal. If it’s your first time, and it’s not for him, feel honoured. Hardly anyone trust newcomers.

If you ever find yourself there — behind the anonymity, the usernames, the quiet anticipation — know this: you will discover people who pulse the same way you do. People who feel the same tension, the same fear, the same hunger for something real.

Some tips

1) Treat them well. Even if you go “full speed, be kind, respectful, tolerant. They are not a piece of flesh.

2) You don’t need to force empathy — just step into their world for a moment, try to see through their eyes. When two people meet and truly connect, the energy becomes different — deeper, more human, more positive.

3) For newcomers end even experts, of course, you have to be careful. Behind the anonymity, not everyone is who they claim to be. Most people here — and I’ve met many — are kind, respectful, and surprisingly normal. But there’s a small, unhealthy minority too, and you learn to recognize them early on. Trust your instincts. Always.

4) Start with the recommended profiles. Look for mutual friends.

5) Ask every question you need to ask. Establish bridges

6) And before you meet, talk. Meet for coffee. Look each other in the eyes. Build some kind of human connection — so that when you fight, you’re not wrestling with a stranger, but sharing a moment with another person, another story, another heartbeat.

And yes, the fight becomes something else entirely

Aftermath

When it’s over, the silence that follows can be bittersweet.

You leave with your heart still beating fast, knowing you’ve shared something that words can’t explain. You might never see that person again, but they’ll remain with you — not as a rival, but as part of your story.

I won’t lie-the goodbyes hurt

But they’re also what make this world so real, so vivid, so unforgettable. So if you’re out there, still hiding behind the glow of your screen, reading profiles and stories on MeetFighters, wondering what it would feel like — stop wondering.

Do it.

Do it for yourself.

Because some fears are meant to be broken, and some moments — just a few — are powerful enough to change the way your heart beats forever

Thanks for pointing this out. I couldn't see any of the text except the headlines when I first looked at it. My settings are for a black background.

This is a great description though. Good read for a newbie.

It was absolutely no problem to meet my first opponent here. We wrote to each other and arranged the time. He wrote me once more from the street below my window, i went down and met him.
I think he was afraid to meet me more than i was...

That first fight changes everything, doesn’t it? I still remember walking in, that nervous energy mixing with something else, something primal. It wasn’t about winning or losing—it was about the connection, the vulnerability of putting yourself out there, and trusting someone else to share that space with you.

I love how you described that feeling before the fight—the hesitation, the thoughts telling you to turn back, yet your body knows it’s time. The fight itself is like that too, isn't it? It’s not just about strength or skill. It’s about the unspoken trust, the shared experience of stepping into the unknown together. And yeah, that aftermath—it lingers, even when you know you’ll never see that person again. You’ve shared something unique, something raw.

I couldn’t agree more about starting with mutual respect and clear communication. It’s the foundation of everything that follows, and makes the whole experience so much richer.
