I don't think it looks like a womans bike but that is what I get asked because of the low bar. Really when it is for keeping my manhood safe I don't care what they think it looks like. I have ridden my wifes MTB before when my old MTB had a flat and I didn't have time to mess with it and the kids were really wanting to go for a ride. People give strange looks. Why someone decided to make a difference in bikes I don't know they should have all been the same and companies would have saved money only having to build one frame type for men and women. Riding a woman's bike doesn't challenge my perception of myself or any other guy on a woman's bike .

My inseam is 29 I am 5'4" and very stocky I weigh in at 190 and I am trying to get back to 170 where I can fit 32" waist jeans again. I am very lean with ab muscles starting to show when I weigh 170. My father who is the same height wears the same size pants I do at 170 and he is 145. I injured myself running last summer and put on 20 lbs and I gave up running my normal 6 miles and decided to cycle to burn my weight back down.
