So the stereotypes of a jock (strong, hot, dumb, low inhib, mean) and a nerd (smart, social outcast, ugly, weak, high inhib) are very common by now. I believe that this split further hurts incels while helping chads even more. Sure most people aren't exactly jock or nerd and it's very rare to hear someone unironically refer to another person as a jock or a nerd but these ideas still exist in people's brains.
The jock stereotype helps any chad who is tall big and good at sports, because then they fit with the jock stereotype which makes them look more cool and popular and badass. Sure people might think they're dumb, but that's why the halo effect exists which will make them look smarter. Even more is if a 'jock' is actually smart it makes him seem like a superhuman cause he seems like a genius and physically powerful.
Meanwhile for anyone who is ugly and smart they can be easily stereotyped as a nerd. This makes people avoid them making them more of a social outcast (self fulfiling prophecy) and unlike with the jock the smartness can't halo them into looking good jfl.
Idk if this sounds like water but tbh if you can do stuff that makes you seem more jock (play sports even if you're not that good, follow sports teams, be loud and low inhib) it could actually halo you cause people start associating jock traits to you.
