Looking for UK-based companionship/friendship or more

As others have said - best go to the Philippines.

Most Filipinas here in the UK who are on the dating sites, tend to be divorcees looking for guys about their own age. Often, having lived here for many years, they've become assimilated and integrated with Western values and so their attitudes are little different from those of British women. That's fine if that is what you are looking for.

I don't think you would really need "thousands". You could probably get a discounted return flight from about £500 and living over there is really cheap - very easy to get a hotel room or maybe a short term rental (through sites like Airbnb etc) for £20/£30 a night.

Take a couple of months out, go over there and just have a nice extended holiday.

Good advice!
