I’ve known people to cheat in the rematch, when they lost the original games. Just sayin”
Why does no one accept my rematch?

it would not be possible to extrapolate that people simply do so to save their egos, though.
People want to win for sure but it sure seems like they are more interested in stat padding than anything else. Stat padding, to me, boosts one's self worth which correlates to ego, although people tend to conflate ego as false self worth.
I'm sure that those people exist, but usually I find that more often than not they're just here to play chess. Besides, people who tend to do stat padding tend not to be good at chess anyways.
I always give rematches because I blunder. when I blunder and lose the game, then my rematch gets denied, I can't help but feel like I got cheated out of a loss. I always accept rematches, because, if they want a redemption, they can have a redemption. there is no psychology to be had here about how I am traumatized, or whatever yabasta11 is saying.

I don’t do a rematch win or lose.
Uh oh. Another ill thought-out theory has just bought the farm!

a quick ten second scan of your recent matches and I already see a rematch...

I have the impression that people ask for rematches if they lose and want to get even. I rarely accept them, unless it was an interesting, enjoyable and well-played game on both sides.
I never rematch people who play the London or otherwise show that they hate chess. Sometimes I even get rematch requests by Englund-players after they failed miserable with their traps. In that case I not only decline, but also block them.
what is wrong with Englund? it is a gambit like any other, if you know how to play against it, then jokes on the player, but if you don't then that's just how gambits go.
I would certainly rematch if there was something to prove, which there isn't.

Cowardice. Plain and simple. After every game i win I wait a few seconds to see if my opponent wants a rematch. Probably 3/4 in every 10 losing opponemts requests a rematch. When I lose I immediately hit rematch. And 9/10 opponents decline the rematch. Because they are cowards. Nothing to do with mot having enough time etc. they usually go on to play someone else. Want a rematch when they lose but run when they win. Pathetic.
No player is under any obligation to accept your rematch

You just called them "cowards" for doing the most natural thing in the world (playing another chess game against another player).
Back in the days, after a duel to the death there rarely was a rematch.

Years ago, I routinely accepted rematches. Then, for several years, most people who I beat senseless played a nearly perfect game during the rematch. Admittedly, this was on FICS, not chessdotcom. But, it speaks to human nature. Unless I know you in real life, the chances that I’ll accept a rematch is substantially less than 200 to 1 odds.

If I play someone more than 10 times, then I will add them as a friend.
I have a similar logic... I need less than 10 games played with same player to consider good idea the adding.If games are so reiterated is very probably both are enjoying the collide as good challenge.About topic perhaps some players may feel frustration in some games for many reasons.Perhaps an unexpected result...or the feel that by the moment,the challenge are enough difficult to accept rematch.I use the term frustration close to the idea of unexpected defeat.It can also be a feeling of great defeat

Mostly it's just that people like to assign reasons for other people's actions to make themselves feel better, for some reason. The tired old 'they ran away scared' argument that gets trotted out regularly being a case in point. Unless the opponent literally types in chat that they're scared and running away, it's just a figment of the person's imagination (and almost always probably wrong. Who gets scared about online chess?!!! It couldn't be less important).
I just find it boring to play the same player 2 times in a row win or lose
