This seems a false dichotomy of sorts; being too much 'jock', and being too much 'nerd', are not the only mistakes you can make in the social domain. There are lots of ways of acting that are not characterised by these two stereotypes.

False or just simply two variables out of many?

A false dichotomy is when you pose two possibilities as the only choices.
