I think it's the 'jocks' and 'populars' you are referring to more than NT boys in general.
I know several NT teen guys who are nothing like you described, and I find them to be very nice people.
Agreed. My main group of friends consist of two NTs and one aspie. The aspie, is fine by me for the obvious reason of being an aspie. The first NT is actually just returning to school after being bullied and spending years out of school because of school anxiety so he's obviously not 'jock' or 'popular'. The second NT is just a cool dude who enjoys rock music (like me, again not 'jock' or 'popular'). These 'jocks' think they are so special, thus, no self-improvement unless it's in a physical activity. Same with 'populars' only their even worse because they get no self-improvement at all. Just remember, by the time they get out of high school, the 'populars' go nowhere, and a majority of 'jocks' go nowhere unless they are way at the top of the sports food chain. Meanwhile, most of us aspies are most likely to go into college to study our "special subject" whether it's computers, art, music, math, science, etc. We then emerge successful and able to get a job. Meanwhile, these 'populars' and 'jocks' are eating in homeless shelters if they are lucky.
