Describes the decision made by one to, for example, actually attempt to learn a person's name before making out with him/her at a party. This, as well as other social implementations and improvements, intends to
position one for the possibility of gaining a long term relationship. Thus, you are putting yourself in position to settle down on a person.
This decision is often made after one has had an outrageously
dirty weekend with uncountable hookups. While it can relate to both males and females, the term itself is quite masculine. Furthermore, males, typically being the social
initiator, bare most of the weight in such scenarios. Thus, this term applies more to them.
Example:
--Morning After--
A "Mann. What a crazy night. How many girls did you hook up with?"
B "I don't know man. I lost count after that chick that looked like she had
vomited in her hair. And that
hot blonde chick, I didn't even get her name before
we hit the bathroom and before I knew it she was gone.
A "Yea man. Enough of this bullshit. We need to enter Operation Settle Down before we contract an STD from these orgy weekends."
