>I wonder in what natural situation this would ever be used.

@CK

Ummmmm, one gold digger pointing out a likely target to her friend, a potential novice gold digger?

Wouldn't it be "him" instead of "it" in that case?

@CK

If the potential novice were onboard already, then "him" - the target.
If the potential novice was still unsure about the whole thing, then "it" - the idea.
"There's a good target. You should try (doing) it. Approach him and flirt away. Go on."

I don't know French at all.
Is this the implication of the French as well?
