When a roastie alpha widow , after riding the cock carousel through her 20's, realizes that her looks are fading and weight is tougher to manage, thus making sure she can secure via a legally enforceable marriage contract, a beta provider husband to provide resources for her while her looks are still somewhat intact before going post wall .The "settling" part involves actually compromising for a less sexually attractive man who she only provides duty sex for, thus not having to work as hard physically in the bedroom as when she was trying to secure a more sexually desirable alpha male partner for a husband who only saw her as a pump and dump Other aspects may include a child in which she secured better genetic stock with the alpha male husband, and then compartmentalizing the beta provider as the one she "settles for" for financial support & other material transactions.
