I knew a lot of "alphas", and no, none of them gave a **** about the internet in general. Their lifestyles are typically very focused on real life and socializing.
But I think some of are still successful - just lead different lives. Like, I was always more reserved, analytical, geeky, a homebody, etc. Got into the "alpha" lifestyle, attitude, and mentality back in the day, but didn't fit my ideals. Not into all that socializing, going out, being popular, having a leadership mentality, picking up girls, etc. It's not "hard" to do, but wasn't very fun, was too much damn maintenance, and ended up hating a lot of people.
Most of those guys aren't necessarily successful, though. They run into just as many problems as anyone else. It's just that they don't care or analyze as much. It's just the way their lifestyle is. They're always going out, socializing, meeting and charming women, hooking up, having all these options... They're typically very confident, assertive, strong (mentally), and don't get bothered very easily. So, they just keep it movin'. And they have lots of friends, and things going on. Very much a leadership mentality, but that makes them selfish, arrogant, and egotistical, IME.
They also don't typically care for much of anybody other than themselves, and so, won't be "wasting" all this time helping others. Nor do they really care about all the details. They have a hunter's mentality, go for what they want, and don't give a damn about what happens, or what anyone thinks. They're very much living IN the "game". It's their whole lifestyle.
