There's a 'New' button. Why would anyone bother with a rematch playing the same person who they don't know anyway rather than playing a new person?! There are a lot of very clever people on t'internet though who are able to devine the exact reasons why someone thousands of miles away rejected their rematch. Their skills are truly incredible.

I envisage this:
Player A (a 14-year-old boy) plays Player B (an adult and so-called “rematch crybaby”).
Player A beats Player B
Player B requests rematch with Player A as he can’t believe he just got beaten by a kid.
Player A accepts
Player A beats Player B again
Player B requests rematch with Player A
Player A accepts
Player A beats Player B again
Player B requests rematch with Player A
Player A accepts
... this goes on until finally on game 11...
Player B beats Player A
Player A requests rematch with Player B
Player B declines.
Player A never hears from Player B again.
Player B tells all his friends that he beat “some kid” at chess.

The definition of an adult is not requesting a rematch in the first place

I’d disagree with that, but I would refine it slightly by saying, the definition of an adult is one who requests a rematch, but doesn’t cry when it is declined. 
As a rule, I expect people to decline rematches so I don't even ask for them either way. If I thrash someone, I don't accept rematches but if it's close and I win I try to offer them to the other player.
Thoughts...?

If and when I become good enough to start winning chess games, and I was offered a rematch by a player I beat, it would really depend on how easily I beat him. If I beat him without even having to work for it, I’d decline and look for somebody else who can actually challange me. If it was a close match I would probably accept.
However, all you Chess.com players; don’t lose any sleep over the fear of me declining your rematch just yet. I just played my cat, and he soundly beat me. 
First thing I do when I start a match, is to say "Hello good game" even before moving the 1st piece.
It's called courtesy / education.
If my opponent does not answer to this basic rule , forget about a rematch.
Have a nice day!

I have chat permanently disabled to save my opponent the trouble of the courtesy of not distracting me from the game.
And I suppose that in a live game you don't shake hands with your opponent, so you don't get distracted? Maybe you should take some pills to help you focus if saying "hello" distracts you ^^

Yeah cos everyone just says 'Hello' in chat. I haven't played live chess for a while but I'm pretty sure my clock doesn't start ticking the moment I agree to a game. Plus sitting opposite someone is a totally different matter to just some faceless entity online. I join a chess site to play chess. If I want to chat I'll do it to real people.
