You guys (including the comments) have a long way to go it seems. In every grouping in society, in this case the academic world, peope have certain traits that give them their identity. There are specific (unspoken) dress codes, behavioral traits, body language, interests, how you speak and whatnot that make you "belong" to the group.
As a PUA, you need to blend in. You cannot just dive in there heads first with some weird, cocky "alpha male" attitude from outer space that attracts stupid 18-years old girls in the clubs. That will alienate you from the group. You always need to adapt to your environment. Besides, you need to look up what it means to be an alpha male, since you seem to have misunderstood the concept. The following is not a definition of an alpha male, it is a definition of a
high value male:

To keep it short - an alpha male is the strongest individual of the
group, so it is definitely a
relative term and changes as groupings change. Most importantly, the
strength that you need to demonstrate is not always the same trait. It is a trait defined by the group. In the gym, it is physical strength. On the golf course it is precision, or maybe your abitility to make business, and in the academic world it is
intelligence.
With other words, tone your game down a bit. Try to blend in and don't try too hard with your pickup. Enter every conversation at the same
energy level (same mindset) as the people you talk to, and just add a tad more energy to become the center of attention. Read about
pacing to understand this better, or even better
pacing and leading - an NLP technique.
I find it very interesting that there is such a lack of knowledge about this in the PUA community, since I've learned it myself through the same channels as everyone else. When I look at infield videos from RSD I think they all look like intermediate PUAs, even if they are considered "masters".
