> If you have spoken to more than a half dozen people and everyone is awful, the problem is you. Figure out what you want, rinse, repeat. Or you live in area, where everybody is indeed awful. I am in a happy 15 year relationship, but before that I lived in a remote shithole and yeah, I was the issue, because I didn't share a local culture with a niveau so low that hurts my brain when I even think about it. It is totally possible that the type of person you are into wouldn't touch online dating with a ten foot pole. And that case you would only find those who are not your type and you are better off just going to places where you might meet them (e.g. gallery openings, etc.) But yeah, if that isn't the case and the fault is constantly with others some introspection might be in order, e.g. some people tend to sabotage themselves. They are afraid to get hurt, so instead of trting and potentially failing they make up some reason why it is not a fit.
