These things are listed in the corp recruitment forums and usually also a corp/alliance website. As others have pointed out, you can expect somewhere between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 of the total membership online at peak weekday, something like 1/2 on peak weekends. Most corps will explicitly schedule some things to get higher than that.

Exploration's a pretty solo activity, so focus on looking for a small-scale pvp corp, as that's the one you need people for.
More specifically "mostly missions with some pvp" is probably your bag, avoid people that say they're mining corps but in all honestly high-sec corps that say "they do a bit of everything" will actually fit pretty well with just giving you people to chat with while you're off exploring on your own. Not sure why you're avoiding the primarily social corps, kinda sabotaging yourself there since you want to be low-commitment.

- no silly tax
Every corp has people that are good at the game and people that aren't, deal with it.
Additionally, taxes are necessary to maintain the things that give a corp purpose and unity in the first place (POSes, joint operations, ship replacements for trainees, and so on). So... get over yourself on that one, too. It's like 5-15% and only affects missions and NPC bounties, which you've said you don't prefer anyhow.
Summary: your problem is that your approach is entirely selfish and you have no intention of giving back to a corp. Why would a _good_ corp want you? Think about that and adjust your expectations accordingly. Not even being willing to pay the taxes and having a stick up your arse about others' knowledge when you're new yourself (i.e. expecting them to carry you) is pretty bloody anti-social, and that's how it's going to come off to recruiters as well. |
