If you look at individual game's hits to your ratings you will never be happy. That's like watching the stock market every day and being depressed every day that it goes down, even when it actually rose 20% in 6 months 
. Ratings are an incidental result, not a goal in and of themselves.

Well it is a goal for me at present after having to resign 40 odd games a year ago destroying my rating also been playing 30 years I want to become a stronger player so yes is a bench mark of course rating matters I would rather be a GM or at least 2000 so it is a goal for sure I work hard at it

ratings dont even matter"
They are very important to the enjoyment of the game. Most people would stop playing if all they did was lose,or if there were no real chance of losing. Ratings help pair players at similar levels, keeping the game enjoyable for all.
It is strange in the info tab where you can usually see the rating adjustment , there is not one there ? is it because its his first ever game ? that makes no sense.
And no titled players do not start automatically at a high rating at all , I have been playing 3 new titled players WFM , CM in daily matches , still playing one of them now , 2 of them started at 1200 , one at 1400 , one of them that started at 1200 , was 2000 before I had even finished they game , they went up every day , so they were playing other games , one I am still playing now started at 1400 , and is not playing anyone but me as his rating is still 1400 , I am his only opponent , so they will win of course and hurt my rating very annoying.
I am actually playing well against them an even game , I am trying to keep it that way
When a titled player creates an account, they are just like any other member when doing it. However, once the submit their proof of title, the site sometimes does give them a higher rating. What that is depends; there are low rated titled players due to FIDE's automatic title system.
Even if the site doesn't, their lower rating won't impact your rating that much because their rating deviation (RD) is extremely high. The variable allows their rating to increase/decrease much more quickly and insulates opponents with stable ratings and low RD values from large rating hits
