Sorry wouldn't a single guy in his early 30s have the relationship with a romantic partner be on top of social hierarchy?

I am in the same place, I while I logically understand that it's probably easier to find a girl friend if I had a friend or two first, I still have a much stronger desire to have a romantic partner that just a friend.

Having regular friends, including male ones, greatly increases your odds of meeting a romantic partner.

Also not all single guys in their early 30s are eager to find a romantic partner. I am also in that age bracket and I am avoiding having another monogamous relationship for at least some years

Friends can be the canary in the coal mine: if your partner hates all your friends, or worse, tries to push you away from them, it's a screaming red flag. Nobody goes into a relationship expecting it to happen. Abusers are adept at pulling people in deep before revealing it was a trap. It can happen to anyone.
