There's no point in getting carried away viewing game purely through the lens of evolutionary reductionism, given that males of most species resort to what we'd consider rape to successfully pass on their genes.
A lot of those thirsty betas would conceive children in a Hobbesian state of nature - just not consensually.
Moreover, the males of many species commit infanticide of other male's young in order to mate with their mothers and sire their own offspring.
In other words, it's not all about biology anymore. Society has set legal and cultural boundaries which limit the extent to which we can blindly follow our instinctual drives.
