AITAH for international dating over dating this one woman my friends keep on trying to set me up with?

I (42M) unfortunately suffered a very traumatic event when I was 17 which derailed my whole life. I was agoraphobic and depressed for the last years of my teens, 20's and early 30s. I started working on myself in 2015 and I have made a success of the last 10 years - I have a job, house and have dated.

I've always wanted a family though and it's the last thing I feel would complete me. But being now in my 40's, it's probably a difficult thing to achieve - all the women my age available are either childfree or have kids and I don't want to be a stepdad. My friends don't agree and keep on trying to set me up with different women who they know who are single. Some of my friends are particularly trying to set me up with this one woman (52F) who I know and apparently likes me.

So I've lately signed up for an international dating site and have chatted to some women - one lately was 33 and I liked her but she hid having a kid so I cut contact. My friends found out and we're all talking shit that I shouldn't date women in other countries. Then they mentioned the 52 year old again that I should take her on a date and I lost it. I've said again I don't want to date older women and they acted like I'm being unreasonable.
