Over here, a pretty boy is usually considered someone feminine looking, rather rhan effeminate. Don't worry. This is a good thing, as recent studies show that women in more affluent countries tend to go for feminine features in men.
As a point of interest, it is thought that this might be because feminine features are indicative of the feminine characteristics, such as being good at social interaction, that are useful in affluent societies. In less affluent societies, where the economy is driven more by primary industry, more masculine attributes such as brawn, tend to be considered more attractive.
