Disagree with the above comment. Some women want to settle down early, others don't until later, some never do.
It really depends what you want. Some people like the stability of a relationship, however it will come with lots of constraints (unless you're poly, non-monogamous etc. Even then, these relationship types take a lot of work).
As an early 30s guy, my advice is to enjoy your life as much as possible. For this, being free is very important. You can travel, date, explore, do whatever you want, whenever you want, set yourself up financially and have the life you desire... getting a girlfriend will not stop all of this, but will definitely add a layer of complexity and compromise.
You can develop a deep connection with a girlfriend, but you can also develop great connections with others. Only get a girlfriend if you see something long term, otherwise you're investing your time and energy for nothing. Don't get a girlfriend because you're lonely; go to therapy. If you want sex, learn to date and attract women.
You're young, work on being the best version of yourself, and enjoy the journey.
