Can you "become" an alpha male?

[A]

I had a sheltered life, raised very old-school. At 14 I didn't even know sex was necessary for procreation. I ended up losing my virginity at 22, to an obese, overpriced prostitute. I was and still am all about poetry, personal culture and idealism. This started to change when I moved out and lived on my own for two years, working as a ghostwriter. I had some exposure to the world and learned more about human nature. It really is a mixture of a Neanderthal and Machiavellian place.

I heard "alpha males" have genetic and developmental traits. They're usually sons of alpha males, growing up in competitive and somewhat vulgar and violent environments. They're physically imposing. They become social animals early on, dominating any setting, fighting other alpha males, signing beta males on as "sidekicks," and all the girls want to be with them. This seems true in light of the "alpha males" I've known.

So I guess my question is, does one ever "become" an alpha male? I'm looking for a realistic answer. I never paid much attention to the "online dating expert community" and I don't really value the marketing of any "relationship guru."
I'm 24 now if it matters.
