I've seen people rematch three, four games in a row after losing all of them, but once they win once they just sit there, leaving me there with the rematch button glowing expecting another game, with nothing said in the chat. What gives?
Yet another one with this rematch syndrome. There’s nothing to complain, do you understand?
i dont rematch because i did often to loose when i begining and a little carefully Also that usefully dont let opponent find good strategy
One may accept or decline rematches how he likes, you have no right to complain they want rematch or did not. You could decline their offers but you did not. Regular chess is a fair game, where both sides have chances, so nothing to complain. (declining rematches after playing white is considered bad in atomic, since it has white-win tendencies)
NO ONE GIVES A ..... ABOUT THE REMATCH BUTTON!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not do the rematch thing cause I am busy with post game review and analysis... also I like to take a break in between games ( A break is good to stave off mental fatigue and boost mental focus) I guess we are all just coming from different places. Just my opinion.

Big misunderstanding.

Here's the answer 99% of people on this site will give you: "TOO BAD. Nobody has to accept a rematch offer. You are not entitled to anything. Stop crying."
Technically, this is correct. Technically. But, as far as sportsmanship and civility go, it is a terrible precedent to set. People will give you a laundry list of "legitimate" reasons, but the reality is far different and in order to understand that reality you have to truly appreciate the ego rush and "good" feelings that people get when they win. Winning a game feels nice; losing immediately thereafter in a rematch nullifies those good feelings.
I will surmise that most people decline rematches for the following reasons, above all others:
1. They are scared they will lose a second game and their points.
2. They won on the basis of a blunder that will not be repeated in a second game.
3. They won on time in a losing position and realize that, with greater concentration by their opponent in a second game, they will likely lose.
People want to hold on to their pride for dear life. That is why people play one game and "run."
"I won. I'm better. I feel good. I don't need to prove anything, to anyone."
Technically. They are right. But such people destroy the culture of chess and the sportsmanship of the game.
