Genuine question: What do men gain in a relationship?

Post Body

I (33M) am seriously questioning myself if I should get involved in a serious relationship and eventually get married.

I'm at a point in my life rn where multiple career opportunities are coming my way, I also am financially free, perfectly happy and have no problems. I'm single right now, I feel like I would be able to get in a relationship if I put my mind to it, but what will I gain from it? won't I ruin the stability I have in life?

Love - sure it would be great to be loved by someone, but I really don't yearn for it now. What's worse is that people's feelings nowadays tend to be fickle, and cheating is becoming more commonplace

Time and resources - A woman who I can build an empire with would be great, but at this age all the capable women around me are already married, this sounds terrible but the single women I see around me have less than ideal circumstances (personally and financially) that I don't want to be involved with.

A child - I'm not sure if I want to have a child of my own, considering how overpopulated the world is now, plus the global warming, I don't want them to experience and shoulder its effects.

Sex - well, I can always have sex thanks to tinder and reddit

I feel like I have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Again, I don't like this mindset at all but it almost seems like a liability to get married or even have a gf. Is my thought process justified or am I missing something?

I'm sorry if this post sounds offensive, please don't attack me personally, I would appreciate it if you can enlighten me instead of slandering me lol
