As to your build, you are correct. Some men are quite effete and should be what would be painfully thin on other men.
Your insinuation that a smaller size frame equals "effete" is quite ridiculous since that alone is not adequate criteria for evaluating such a label. So I'll assume you meant it as a derogatory remark in order to rationalize your own weight to yourself-- i.e. "it is better to be overweight than effete." I don't really look effete, but you can continue to believe that if it makes you feel better.
I recently read a sociological study where they found most Western men today believe that carrying excess fat is a sign of masculinity. Yet this is quite contradictory since woman are predisposed to carry more fat than men. But in many countries (such as France) this odd view on male weight is largely not held.
