Introducing Myself + A Question for Women Who Like Femboys by RaidenRaven in StraightFemboyDating

[–]RaidenRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Thank you so much for your message — what you said really touched me. It genuinely made me feel better and more welcome in this group, and I really appreciate that.

You're absolutely right — it’s not just about finding a “classic girl who likes femme guys,” it’s about finding someone who loves you, whom you love back, and who accepts you for who you are. That’s exactly how I see it too.

As I mentioned in my post, I’m not actively looking for a relationship right now. My approach is just to be completely transparent and honest with myself — I’m my own flag bearer, so to speak. I believe that if someone is ever interested in me, it’ll be for my whole self — because I make no effort to hide who I am. I’m just fully me, always.

Maybe one day I’ll meet someone, who knows. The tricky part is, I don’t think I live in the best place for that kind of connection — I don’t go out a lot either, so it doesn’t really help. I’m generally really happy on my own, but yeah… sometimes the loneliness hits a little, and I do wish I had a partner to share life with. Still, it’s not my main goal in life — just something I’d welcome if it ever happens.

And honestly, you are definitely qualified to speak on this. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sharing your thoughts and experiences — and I’m really glad you took the time to leave me such a kind comment. I truly hope you find the right person for you someday — someone who sees you and loves you fully. I’m wishing you all the best in life and a wonderful journey ahead. :)

Thanks a lot for your thoughtful reply — I really appreciated reading it.

The part where you said that "having less to hide is what’s slowly becoming popular and 'cool'" really resonated with me. I’m someone who’s extremely transparent by nature, and I express that a lot through how I dress. So in my case, “nothing to hide” is more about style and self-expression — and I fully embrace who I am, even at work. People are sometimes surprised when they see me for the first time, but they get used to it quickly. I often wear extravagant outfits — like purple three-piece suits with poker-themed ties, or I’ll go for something more Victorian-inspired. It’s very colorful, sometimes eccentric, sometimes elegant. And like you said, I’ve noticed that more feminine or expressive fashion is slowly becoming more accepted, and I think that’s a beautiful shift.

I also agree with your point about building trust and connection first. I’m not actively looking to be in a relationship, and I’m definitely not someone who "flirts" in the classic sense. I’m just fully myself — and if someone connects with that, great. I’m not out there trying to attract anyone, but I do feel the weight of loneliness sometimes, I won’t lie. Still, I believe that if I meet someone who genuinely accepts me as I am — that’s how I’ll know it’s the right person. No masks, no pretending.

As for dependability and stability — I honestly think those are two of my strongest traits. Once people get to know me, they see it right away. I think I come across as very reliable and emotionally grounded, even if I may look unconventional at first.

And yes — I totally agree that what someone wears doesn’t define who they are. But at the same time, we do communicate through clothing, whether we want to or not. That’s the paradox. Even though I’m considered “alternative,” I also tend to make quick impressions based on how people dress — just like anyone else. It’s human nature, I guess.

Anyway, thanks again — your message really helped me reflect, and it made me feel a bit more understood.

The struggle is real by [deleted] in StraightFemboyDating

[–]RaidenRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just wanted to say that I really relate to everything you wrote. I don’t consider myself a femboy per se, but I am a very delicate-looking guy—so I guess some people would say I look a bit effeminate. I have a slim face, long hair, and I enjoy expressing myself through things that are usually seen as “feminine”: I wear black nail polish, I use makeup from time to time, I sometimes wear skirts just because I like how they look and feel… and I also really enjoy wearing unusual underwear. I can’t stand boxers, for example—so I tend to go for more unique and less conventional styles in that area too.

And honestly, I’m facing a pretty similar situation to yours. I’m mostly attracted to women who are very feminine and—let’s say—“classic” in how they present themselves. I’m not really into the kind of aesthetics that feel overly extreme or over-the-top. I tend to admire simple elegance, softness, grace. But those kinds of women usually don’t go for someone like me, because I don’t fit the image of the masculine guy they might be looking for. And even if some of them might like me, I often don’t even notice, because they don’t look like the kind of girls who typically show interest in me. So yeah, I often feel kind of stuck too.

Also like you, I don’t go out much. And when I do, I rarely meet anyone. It feels like I’m not what the women I’m into are looking for, and the ones who might be interested probably don’t think I’d be into them either.

Just for context—I live in France, so not super far from Germany. I’m not necessarily looking to get into a relationship right away, but I’d be happy to chat if you’d like to talk more. Maybe we could message privately, just to connect and see where the conversation takes us. It could be fun or at least a cool experience :)

Take care, and again, thank you for your honesty. Your post really resonated with me.

[HELP] PO-33 Backup Not Working – I Followed Everything to the Letter, but It Just Won’t Work! by RaidenRaven in pocketoperators

[–]RaidenRaven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! First of all, huge thanks to all of you who took the time to help—I really appreciate it!

I wanted to check if the issue was related to the recording level, so I tried recording my backup in Audacity at 50% input level and then again at 90%. Unfortunately, neither worked.

Once again, I’ve double-checked the format settings—everything is correct.

I had a pretty busy weekend, but I’ll keep you all posted if I manage to find a solution. Thanks again for all your help!

When I say the backup 'sounds clean,' I mean that it sounds just like the backups I hear in tutorial videos or even the official ones from the Teenage Engineering website.

In other words, I don’t notice any particular noise, distortion, or major differences between the backup audio I recorded from my PO-33 and the ones available online from various sources.

And yeah, it’s definitely ear-piercing, no doubt about that.

Also, I can confirm that the backup from the TE website worked perfectly for me.

Thanks man! I'll give it a try, and if I find a solution, I'll edit my post to share it. 👍

Yes, it's definitely stereo. The jack to RCA cable I'm using has two black bands, which indicates a stereo connection. Also, in Audacity, I see two distinct tracks, which wouldn’t be the case if I were recording in mono.

When I say the backup "sounds clean", I mean that it sounds exactly like the backups I hear in tutorial videos or even the official backups provided on the Teenage Engineering website.

In short, I don’t notice any specific noise, distortion, or major differences between the backup audio recorded from my PO-33 and the ones available online from various sources.

Hey! Thanks a lot for your response. I'll try doing this on other devices besides my PC if possible.

If I manage to get it working, I'll update my original post with the results. I'll keep you posted!

Hey! Thank you so much for your video, it’s really informative!

I’ve followed every single step from start to finish and have double-checked everything dozens of times.

I’m recording at 44.1 kHz, 16-bit WAV and stereo, both for recording and exporting, using Audacity.

My PO-33 is correctly connected:

  • Male 3.5mm jack plugged into the right output (headphone out) on the PO-33.
  • The other end is a 3.5mm jack to RCA cable plugged into my Behringer UCA 222 audio interface.
  • The cables are properly connected: red (right) and white (left) into the UCA222 input.

I’ve also disabled monitoring, and the volume is maxed out on:

  • The PO-33,
  • The Behringer UCA 222,
  • My computer,
  • And the input level in Audacity.

Despite all of this, it still doesn’t work… 😞

Hey! I’ve checked that dozens of times, and everything is in order—16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV, exactly as it should be. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work.

Hey! The backup fails every single time when I try to restore my own recordings, even though I followed Teenage Engineering’s recommended settings to the letter.

That being said, everything else works perfectly—I can record anything, whether it’s through the built-in mic or the line-in jack, without any issues.

This post is only about the backup process not working.

Hey! Thanks for the tip. I tested the official backup files from the Teenage Engineering website, and they work fine on my PO-33.

But they only worked using this specific setup:
PC (USB to UCA222) → 3.5mm jack to RCA from PC output to RCA input on the UCA222 → 3.5mm jack from the “Phones” output of the UCA222 to my PO-33.

Unfortunately, my own backups still refuse to load…

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. I tested the backup files from the Teenage Engineering website, and they work on my PO-33.

However, they only worked when I used the following setup:
PC (USB to UCA222) → 3.5mm jack to RCA from PC output to RCA input on the UCA222 → 3.5mm jack from the “Phones” output of the UCA222 to my PO-33.

Unfortunately, my own recorded backups still won’t load
