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!
