Settler's Mentality 

Thinking you're a nice carefree person when you're part of the problem.

Old example: Little-House-On-The-Prarie-type European settlers going west to "Put in a solid day's work and carve out a new life" while being part of the mass genocide of Indigenous Americans.

New example: People moving away from California because they "Couldn't stand it anymore" and ruining the property values and job markets of their new location while transplanting the California-style politics they claim they were getting away from.
1. "I just want to promote healthy living and calm to the people I meet on social media"
"Your lifestyle is funded by your sugar daddy using child labor at off-shore factories Caitlyn, you got a real settler's mentality"

2. Instagram models advocating for mental health while their income comes from an app destroying people's mental health is some serious settler's mentality.

3. Bro you can say you support Black Lives Matter but if you keep voting for officials who defend bad cops that's just settler's mentality

Within a successful, seemingly stable relationship, the settler refers to the "better half", who in essence settles with their partner. This person tends to be either more attractive, wealthier, smarter, personable or some other quality that would seemingly make their partner look inferior, to the extent that people begin to question why they would even date in the first place.

The opposite of a reacher
Looking at the Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri relationship, it is painfully clear that Janet (Ms. Jackson, if you're nasty) is a settler.

copper settler

Not quite a gold digger or a 49er, a copper settler stays or "settles" with another individual, not for their looks nor moderate wealth (thus why copper, and not gold), but to live a menial lifestyle for the rest of their lives
When a woman in her mid thirties who settles for a cheap, average, boring guy who might be gay. But he's 30 and a pediatrician! What can go wrong!? She must be a copper settler!
