Why do opponents not REMATCH?

I analyze my game after every one. I don’t rematch because it prevents me from learning from my mistakes while the game is fresh in my mind.

Honestly, people who demand rematches are often jerks. Why would I want to play them?
Plus I like to analyze my games.

I don't think the age or pride has anything to do with refusing rematches. I along with many others analyze the game right after. Sometimes people need to leave their computer. You might be over analyzing and speculating something that isn't there. I also like to play new people every game rather than going down the same line and opening which has happened before when I accepted a rematch.
I accept the logic of all your responses.
There is validity in all of your answers.
After reviewing your responses I now realize many may just be reviewing the game they'd just won or lost. I never though about that. Or perhaps it's only a select few (hundreds, thousands) that are students of the game who engage in productive study.
Of course people don't have to accept one's rematch. And yes people have other things to do.

Some people use trappy openings and want the element of surprise so they decline a rematch.
Some people need to run to the restroom, or have food cooking and only had time for 1 game.
But honestly I think some people decline because there are people with an attitude like yours, who think they're owed a rematch. Particularly after they lose, and they're brining all this emotional baggage of their wounded pride. It's like sheesh man, get over it, find another game, maybe you'll win the next one, I'm just playing for fun.
ikr, im the 2nd one, restroom guy, guy who needs 2 go eat, guy whos computer needs to charge, im always that dude

i rematch if im 1 trying to obveserve test something, 2 trying to break a world record with a friend like lowest accuracy and we both play bad unrated, 3 if i think its just godly
Dear OP:
Maybe they just don't want to play you. The fact that you have already had to be warned about abusive behavior might give you a clue why


more like blaming gen z and zz, millennials are not really blamed now, there more already like 20? idk my numbers
1. A game ends and the opponent perhaps wins but disappears when you ask for a rematch!?
2. You win and do give a rematch but if your opponent then ties the score he or she leaves!!?
There is a pattern and my theory is that it has to do with the age group that makes up most of the membership here at chess.com. When I look closely at the photos or icons of the players here I suddenly notice their age. Teenagers, video game players, "Mama's boys" (constantly putting up photos of their parents.)
I've already been put on notice by management to curve my taunts and use of profanity and they're right. Online chess clubs are mostly inhabited by young people and I have to accept o
it and their manner.
Is it PRIDE that makes them shy away from confrontation?
Is it the preservation of their point totals, rank?
Is it some maneuver to leave an opponent dissatisfied?
