Romanced Blackwall and he ended leaving me after sleeping with me and turns out to be a lying murderer pretending to be a grey warden. Then Solas removes my tattoo then dumps me in the same scene then just disappears after the final battle with no goodbye.
Are all the men jerks in this game? Not interested in Dorian for obvious reasons. Have yet to do a play through romancing Iron Bull and Cullen.
Iron Bull is the best.
Cullen is the best! And potentially the only one who sticks around for the long term.
IB only stays if you save the Chargers while sacrificing the Qun dreadnought. If you side with the Qun, I hear that he will go back to the Qun at end game. My dwarf IQ did the latter, so we shall see.
Blackwall..... I think that depends how you roleplay. One of my IQ forgave him; she's innocent and wide-eyed. My other Blackwall romance is really gonna stick it to him in terms of punishment, so that romance will end poorly.

Don't moan to us about your lack of judgment in picking a decent male to shiver your timbers,you pick an arsehole, don't cry to us when you get covered in shite
Cullen is the only true gentleman romance. That said, not every male romance has to be a gentleman for the romance to be thoughtful and well done.
In fact, I'd say Solas' romance is the most well done in the game, surpassing the gentleman that is Cullen or the sweetheart that is Josephine. Romances are a little more complex than having your paramour be something out of a fairy-tale that ends happily ever after.

Fenris, Anders, Isabela, Leliana, Morrigan, Merrill...there is a long history of LI's with shady backgrounds. The fact that we had honest ones was actually shocking to me...
Generally in cultural products like movies, television, books, and even video games, characters who appear to be one thing end up being full of contradictions, acting more like their opposit. It is a common held belief that said contradictions are what make a character more "human."
So when you see a good hearted guy like Blackwall, with a vague name and talking vaguely about things and talking about honor and greater good, he's gonna have something dark and seedy lurking under the surface. Luckily, it was only murder (come on, your character is a murderer too) and not something real creepy. Or when some Elf shows up at the right point in time knowing a whole hell of a lot and having rare powers and rare knowledge, he's not just gonna be an apostate.
Cullen, on the other hand, seems all aloof and job focuses, so you know he's gonna be pure, unadulterated vanilla ice cream with whip cream and marshmallows in the romance arc.
Little tip about who to pick when romancing someone. Kept me from making the mistake with Anders back in DA2 my first play through.
I recently did a dwarf playthrough with Blackwall romance and had to make some headcanon adjustments to the script. She was a thug and criminal before becoming Inquisitor (still kind of thuggish after too) so figured Blackwall had some dark past and wasn't bothered by it. He didn't do anything worse than she had done as part of the Carta and was more irritated that he puts her on a pedestal so much.
He says over and over he's not worthy and you'll regret pursuing the relationship so you can't say you weren't warned. But if you stick with him you can get this nice tidbit: https://youtu.be/b0z...WdH0?t=5h14m29s
All DA:I male romances for females are "bad boys".
"50 Shades of Iron" Bull is a BDSM expert.
Renegade Blackwall is a fugitive from the law.
Soul-less Solas is a manipulative trickster who plays mind games.
And ol' "Kill 'em all" Cullen is a drug addict.
Have fun.
Hey, we got up to three happy endings this time instead of the usual heartbreak, so I'm happy. Yeah, there are a few skeletons in the closet. Cullen is overcoming an addiction, Blackwall did some terrible things in the past, and Iron Bull... is not for everyone. But Cullen treats the inquisitor with respect and offers the possibility of a storybook romantic ending, Blackwall is rough around the edges but is loyal and utterly devoted (if you are capable of forgiveness, that is), and if Iron Bull is your thing, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get back to the Qun one way or another.
^He'll fit in great with the Grey Wardens (if he survives the Joining).
Cullen's romance is sweet and romantic, I'd say he's safest bet. If you don't mind him having lyrium addiction he's fighting with. You got pretty bad luck with choosing Blackwall and Solas first 
Iron Bull is possibly quite sweet and funny as well, though I haven't personally romanced him yet.

Each one isn't really that bad if you try to step into their shoes and tell yourself everyone deserves a second chance.
Cullen may be addicted to lyrium but he is a prince to you and never leaves your side.
Blackwall messed up big time, but has never committed something that unjustly ever since, so he's not bad, he just made a bad choice for the wrong reason. If you stick with him, he remains with you to the end.
Solas warns you over and over and over not to pursue things, but if you continue, you win his heart and he ends up where he didn't want to be, in love with a mortal woman who has no clue who he is or what he's done and will do.
Iron Bull is a bit of a womanizer but he's also someone you can rely on from the start to end, without any problems. He's not looking for anything serious, but if you choose to make it serious, he will stay loyal to you.

Which is why I choose Dorian each play through. Tevinter; the first time, every time.
