As voiced succinctly by Clarified in the "Stop trying to be a lone wolf alpha" thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/1e93xe/stop_trying_to_be_a_lone_wolf_alpha/c9y12of
I agree that in the US in particular, the extroverted Alpha is worshipped above all others. And yes, having connections is important for all aspects of life.
But no, you're not prohibited from success just because you don't want to join a pack or become a party guy. You can be an /r/introvert and still be very, very successful with women.
One of the things I've appreciated about watching the pickup community grow and mature over the past fifteen+ years is that it has gone from very rigid prescriptions for success to the much more healthy attitude of genuine self-improvement and psychological adjustment.
Of course if you're just scared of social interaction, that's something you should work on, rather than pretending it is part of your identity. Being honest about yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, and women, is the only way you're going to become the man you want to be with the relationships you desire.
I've done a fair bit of reading-up on the Red Pill as well as Roosh's blog and books the past couple of weeks, and I have thus tried to exhibit more Alpha traits...
But this post made me realize that there may be more than one way to skin a cat, and since I am not necessarily of the "party guy" variety and decidedly more the "low-key" variety, how would I show that while at bars and clubs?
What I tend to do is find a girl sitting alone at the bar and try to talk to her, since any girl talking to her friend has proven to be an insurmountable obstacle for me, the introverted interrupter that I am. It's very difficult for me to open these girls.
Also, what about the logistics of befriending social groups in bars? Most of them are sitting down at a table having conversations (probably intensely "inside" ones that I couldn't even begin to have an opinion on). I'm capable of introducing myself to random people, but beyond that I have no idea how to keep their interest enough to accept me as one of them. It's also very loud, making Introversion a huge handicap.
The same goes for meeting women. If I'm introverted, what would an Introverted Alpha look like when he's opening/seducing a woman? Anyone have any experience with this?
TL;DR: Too bad. Scroll back up one inch and read the whole thing.
