Well guys, this is the second time i am noticing this incident. I was really upset when i saw this. What actually happened was:
I work in a place where the office is 3 km away from the common road. But there is a special van inside, which will drop the people outside. Some people wait for the van and some others get lift and move out. There are many companies inside and few people come by their own vehicle. So few people prefer to go by lift rather than waiting for the van. In this, both guys and girls ask for lift. Yesterday, two guys and two girls who were 20 metres behind those two guys were asking for lift. That time, a guy was coming fast in the bike. These two guys showed hand but he dint stop. When those two girls lifted their hand, that guy applied sudden brake and took both the girls along with him in the same bike. Those girls were not his relative nor his friends but even then he stopped the bike and gave lift to them. These two guys, who were also asking for lift, were just watching that guy.
This is not the first time i am seeing this incident. Many a times it has happened like this. Have you ever experienced such thing? How do you feel when you find such thing? Your comments are welcomed.

If I was one of those women I would not have accepted the offer of a lift anyway as it seems there was an alterior motive besides kindness, I think it is a shame that this guy acted in this manner but unfortunately this is the age we live in and the male hormones running amuck. i hope the guys got home safely in the end and hope that they continue to do so. I hope also that non e of the women who are accepting lifts of such guys are hurt either.

Actually i felt more ashamed when that guy did that, because it creates a bad name for almost all guys. Ya then i and those guys, went by van and reached out. There is no problem of van but then such people's act hurt others.

This is an absurd thing to do, and it clearly shows the vagueness of one's character. but I would like to tell you that this does not happen only in case of girls and boys.
A few years back I had gone to a small party consisting of 12-13 boys and girls. I found it rubbish and so decided to go back home on foot. nobody was affected, and so far it was okay with me. but when I was on my way, a bike passed by on which a guy(who was present in the party) along with one of my friends( a girl) were going. I understood that he was going to drop her home, and as far as I know they weren't close friends.
Now I felt really bad cause nobody even offered me help, but just because this friend of mine is pretty, guys pretend to be polite and courteous to her.
You are right that these things are very common, especially in our country. The only way we can rectify this trend is by not following these practises ourselves! And as far as these petty minds are concerned, we ought to have pity on them and let them enjoy their own senseless world.Lol!!
By the way, here I dont see any fault with the two girls.

You are right friend. The advantage of pretty girls is that, they can find guys waiting to help them out in anything. But then, some day it has to come to an end. You know the first time when i met this thing happening, that incident was like, a girl was asking for lift. The man who was coming in bike, passed the girl and then stopped the bike some distance far away from that girl. Then he came back and picked that girl. I havent seen any guy giving lift to another guy in that fashion. I was very much upset with such behaviour. Anyway, these people will learn lesson by themselves.

I am not sure what the problem is, it is that you feel it was right or wrong that the lift was given to the girls.

Obviously, i felt that as wrong. It was a shameful act in my point of view.

Actually it's frustrating, I experienced this kind of a thing several time. Men are sometimes like that, they prefer women for what they get from them instead of men like them.

What is there to explain much about this. Everybody know the reason for that guy who rejected lift to two men offered lift to two girls. In the eyes of a cultured man the act of the guy is ridiculous, shameful and mean. A poor mannered man. I think that fellow is vulnurable, because any crooked girl can easily seduce him and lead him to great dangers.

giving and taking lift is not common here in france. People rarely try asking the lift, it is somewhat odd here probably because of an efficient transport system that we enjoy here. But I can understand the guy's applying brakes for the girls, it's quite natural:-) isn't it? here if lift is asked, a guy will def. prefer the girl otherwise he may be considered as gay which some people don't like and some others who do like will prefer guys over girls. It's your choice and no body should object.
