Personally I think it's just a bit tasteless, I mean what can a female travel partner do that a male one can't, if you take the obvious out of the equation?
And I wouldn't personally want to be on that journey if my reason for being there was as a concubine to a Land Rover driver
I suspect the arrangement will work better if you find someone
that wants to spend time with you and is of a spirit inclined to make the journey rather than
you find someone inclined to spend time with you because they want to make a trip
Now I don't know your real reason for wanting a female travel partner, and we may be judging you unfairly, but so would most self respecting women I reckon.
What I will say in all seriousness, is that from experience extended travel can be at times a test of peoples abilities to suffer each others faults and flaws if forced into proximity, don't underestimate that.
Also if you were platonic and so forth and your new partner hooked up with a dashing and suave overland biker in far flung somewhere (they can't help it, we are irresistable  ) how would you feel that your only company was acting in a perfectly rational adult manner but leaving you out in the cold for company
