A woman, usually with average sexual market value (SMV), who sleeps with a high sexual market value male , a/k/a the alpha male, who does not wish to have a long-term relationship with the woman. The woman views the alpha male as superior to most, if not all, of the other men pursuing her, and so the woman continues to lust after the alpha male she cannot have, sacrificing future long-term relationships with lower-SMV men, making her a "widow", in a sense, to the original alpha male.
Jane could never seem to get over her one true love, Rocco, even after she was married to John. Jane must be an alpha widow.

A woman (typically but not necessarily post-wall) who has been abandoned by an Alpha male. No matter how great her new man is, she will perceive him as failing to meet the standard of the alpha she was previously associated with. Due to hypergamy, a woman cannot date backwards, once she gets say, a male 8, she cannot date below a male 8 and be happy with him. If she does, she is just using said man for resources (Beta Bucks) and doesn't really love him. Essentially, a damaged woman accustomed to a tier of man she can no longer attract.
Karen was alpha widowed after a one-night-stand in college, and rejected all suitors that didn't live up to Chad. She is now old, single, lonely with 3 cats.
