Just visit/move to Philippines/China or (South) East Asia in general, if you are 40 (and white) you will have absolutely zero problems to find someone who will make you happy, though I would be realistic about age difference, which will either make you walking ATM or real partner.

Unironically, i have experienced this unwillingly.

I am a westerner and recently traveled to some science conference and casually met this Indian girl (living in India, she travelled to the conference as well), about 24 years old and we clicked immediately. We ended up talking a lot and we had vastly more aligned life goals (having kids, starting a family etc) than i have with my average western female co-workers or women i meet outside work.

Unironically I’m starting to believe i might have to move east if i want to start a family.

I don't see how that is any different from the west except you get better bang for your bucks.

in the west you have better odds the woman has similar or even higher living standard and income than you, so there is lower chance you will become walking ATM regardless of age difference (though obviously with 20 years younger woman it is very likely it will happen even in the west)

That might be true but outside of the west it's a lot harder to financially ruin you with a divorce not to mention it is less socially accepted.
