Why do guys say they want to meet you (on pof) but not message you?

Anonymous
so i've been getting into the plenty of fish app lately, and guys will say they want to meet me. sometimes it's a mutual match but sometimes it's not. i get that maybe you don't want to be rejected but why say you want to meet someone but then not pursue it? i've heard that people say they swipe right/say they want to meet everyone to increase their chances, which is why i don't always respond but that can't be true for every single guy, right? is it just the fear of rejection?
