They can, but again of the women likely to have sex with the type of bottom barrel men that we are speaking of in this case, the training to properly apply these impulses and the call of their own DNA is unlikely to even get a foundation.
These hyper-competitive genes are also anathemic to a functional and cohesive "society." For every single success, there are dozens if not hundreds of failures. Not just failures to succeed or breed, but be a net negative to society. For every pop culture "sociopath" who becomes a CEO, there are dozens if not hundreds in jail after committing atrocities. For every hoodrat who escaped to become a millionaire, there are thousands of graves of those who did the same thing and didn't get lucky.
Its the same thought process that creates the "alpha male breeds all the women, makes the betas raise them" problem. Which our ancestors figured out thousands of years ago just creates chaos as the less successful males have either no reason to try (as they know they can't win) or lash out with their own impotent violence. Both result in near complete societal failure, because civilization is built on the back of young men sacrificing in the hopes they will get that simple family opportunity.
Point being, while in exceptional cases it benefits everyone greatly to have these hyper-competitive males, it does also great damage to have them out in the wild. And in the modern day, there is no curb to their ambitions on average. No father to teach them, no family to balance them, no social circles to teach them proper behavior. Just wild gorillas left to pound their chest.
