I say ride what works for you. If someone needs a top tube to represent their manhood that's their problem.
The fact that you are actually out there being active on any kind of bike is more than 90% of the population is doing.
There isn't much to get used to really. You just find you don't need to raise your leg so much to get over the top tube. Once you are riding it's all the same.
Yes, step through bikes are very common in Europe, thanks for your input, I'm now 71 and
have lived my life not being concerned about what others are hung up about. The biggest
obstacle I think I'll have is trying to locate one. I can have one made, but the cost is very high.
