To answer your thread title's question, no.

By 30 I'm still single, no GF, working remotely at home. As long as the work gets done, I can work at night and sleep during daytime. Weekend comes then binge watching series/gaming on my PS/Xbox.

Then getting bored with this kind of lifestyle, found another job, office job. Then colleagues knew that I was single, tried to match me with their friends. Knew a girl, then less than a year, got married to her.

I got married at 33 years old. Bought a house before getting married. Got a child a year after married.

Now back to remote job. But no more gaming for me, only for the kids. Watching a single 40-minutes series episode also took like 30-pauses in between, and can only finish 2/3 episodes per week. No more suka-suka choose which restaurant to eat in, as each kid has their own preferences, need to consider that as well.

Would I prefer to have more time to myself? Yes. But previously I got so much time that I didn't know how to spend it, getting bored without anyone to spend time with. Now my time are always full, entertaining my kids and wife, doing activities with them, need to be aware of what they're doing all the time.

For my me-time, I will wake up early morning, then do something like watching movies/sports/gaming. Just need to adapt. Some people still wants to do whatever they want even though they already have kids, like browsing FB/TikTok all day long. This is not right. If you cannot commit or refuse to change, then better don't get married or have kids. These will take all your energy, money and time.
