I just bought this bike because it's 60% off and it's a 2017 model
however there's an issue, i'm a guy and this is supposedly a female bike
I suppose my question is does it matter? I'm just using it for work commuting and peoples opinions don't matter to me, but I admittedly dont know a lot about bikes and stuff
was this an okay buy /n/?

It's a big problem.
Since they 1980 bicycles are built with advanced gender detection technology. Once the bike reaches 15mph, the saddle scans your body to see if you have the correct gentiles. If the incorrect gentile comes up in the scan, the front wheel immediately locks up, throwing you over the handlebars like a catapult.
just make sure you dont hit 15mph and you're fine

LOL I doubt i'll be getting to 15mph, I weigh 250
Beach cruisers are never a good choice. You'll probably ride it once or twice then leave it to rust on your basement.

I don't honestly know what a beach cruiser is. It's only 8km to work so I think I should be able to manage. Right?

A beach cruiser is the kind of bicycle you just bought, in this case called "British cruiser", for some reason. And sure you'll manage to commute 8km on it, you just won't enjoy it a lot. Cruisers aren't really suitable for trips longer than a couple of blocks. There's just too much of your weight on your ass, steering is too far back, they usually come with a too low gear ratio which makes them frustratingly slow, and since it's a 140 bucks bike it'll probably weigh a ton and have shitty ass tires
Hope they give refunds

Oh. Well that's a dilemma. So realistically it isn't ideal? Should I request to exchange it? What to?

Just try it and see how bad it is. You have 90 days to return it according to that screenshot.

>correct gentiles
What the fuck does not being a Jew have to do with anything?

For that kind of bike, no, not functionally, otherwise only because it's extremely girly-looking. Spray paint it?
as long as the bike generally fits ya you'll be fine.
