I heard this idea described in a Todd V video. It stands for "Find, Meet, Attract, Close" and Todd attributes the concept to Mystery.

The basic idea is that you need a solid grasp in each of these areas before you will be able to pull consistently.

The "Find" skill is just putting yourself in situations that will present opportunities to talk to attractive women. This could be nightclubs, the mall, busy streets, dance classes or a workplace.

The "Meet" skill is the ability to get to know someone on a personal level. It is not specific to men or women. It is asking the other person questions that are interesting to you, stating your opinion on topics that are important to you, talking about your pasts, your plans for the future, sharing jokes or stories that have meaning to you.

The "Attract" skill is about making a girl sexually interested in you. The primary way Todd describes this is by showing unavailability. The examples he uses are "hands off the merchandice", "stop looking at me like that", "you're hot but what else do you have going for you?" as well as turning your pack to her. As a resource he gives David DeAngelo whose claim to fame is the "cocky funny" attitude.

The "Close" skill is about being able to escalate. This is where you actually get the girl to have sex with you. He suggests you do this by disqualifying the escalation. This is where you match an advance with a statement that shows disinterest as a way to prevent the situation from getting too intense. For examples he says you could pull her towards you while saying "I hate you" or as you sit down beside her say "I only have a minute but...".

To me this seems like a pretty solid overview of how the game works. When you look at in it this manner it becomes easy to see where you're lacking so you can focus on that area.

There of course will be different approaches by different guys to fit their specific style. Some might like to find girls at bars during the night, others might like to find them at the park during the day. Some might like to meet them by asking lots of questions, others might like to do most of the talking. Some might like to be physical during the attraction, other might like to be more verbal. Some might like to close really fast, others might like to draw it out a bit longer.

I did not have a good overview model of how the game worked before this so it is very useful to me.
