Why do domains get reserved? The random domain I want was reserved?

I got the domain lowend.men and wanting to get highend.men as well but turned out that this domain was reserved by the registry.
Wonder if anyone know why.
Thanks.

highend is a word in the dictionary.
then surely lowend is a word right?
But for which you think people gonna pay premium?
No, lowend is rarely used.
And even if it was, who is likely to be looking for lowend men…
Was there a delay between looking at the highend domain after registering lowend? Perhaps something automated saw it being registered, or if you had an SSL certificate signed for it saw this in the public logs, and it triggered a “hmm, domains like this might be worth something, I'll inform the humans as they might want to reserve a few to try make a profit on” reaction.
Or, more likely, it could just be reserved on most TLDs because it is commonly a desirable dictionary word name.
Which register ?? Cant you mention?
domain sharks buy and sell for money...
.men is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Global Registry Services Limited.
Yes, cos they weird like that. probing.men available though, good luck.
I'm happy with my lowend.men. Although I would like the highend.
It's all @DP 's fault.
He owns nearly every reserved domain. It's in the millions.
At least he's been giving us all first dibs
It's reserved for exactly this reason, they believe that word is worth more than the default cost, they reserve often things like "great.men" anything that they would consider a good combo.
why don't you try some variations?
high-end.men
higherend.men
highestend.men
etc
be imaginative.
bigend.men works too
