"If you could take your salary and live in a different country..." Spain (?) perhaps, because Spanish culture may have a better work/life balance and coastal Spain is similar to coastal California climate-wise. I haven't been on a date in years and suspect many U.S. men in tech are in a similar situation. Also almost any conversation would be engaging/interesting/humbling because Spanish is not in my primary language and that provides an incentive to be more social.
