"Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof" (Genesis 19:8 ).

Why would Lot offer his daughters to the mob of men since it was a very bad thing to do?

His society must have thought very little of women.

He must know that those guys outside were bloody homosexual, having known that gambling with his daughters is a sure win.

Throwing is daughters out, to me is just to buy himself time, so as to look for escape route for his guest.

But Lot was supposed to be a righteous man.

Good point, but don't you think it was a risky idea to feed those perverts with his daughters?

Very risky . It was possible that not all of them were homosexuals . Because the practice was rampant does not mean all men indulged in it . Some of them could be bisexuals . Nevertheless , it was a huge gamble that paid off .

Very risky indeed but could there be other reasons why he did it?

That's why it must have a cultural problem. He was living in So dom after all,
