I got a chuckle out of some mens responses here- In my house there is me, my sig other, and my daughter-- So girls rule by 2 to 1. Do you think the toilet seat is down in the middle of them night? Nope-- But you know what-- I don't much care-- I always feel for it in the dark before I sit down.. and really I've decided to pick my battles. Once in a while I'll complain and then I notice the seat is up more often..
usually he puts it down.. But like I said when he doesn't I just grin- and put it down... I'd rather argue over the remote! lol

Seriously, I think a lot of men just get a good laugh from doing it. Now, I'm not trying to jerk your chain, just telling you the truth. Please, do not tell my wife what I said.

I don't know the problem is with other men. They always leave it up. Unless the woman trains them to either put it down or sit down they leave it up. I'm a guy and my friend leaves it up after he uses the toilet. It bothers me and I'm a guy. It's not that hard guys just lift, then put down. Then wash hands.

What is the big deal???really,I am woman and I am 56 years old and never have I backed into the bathroom at anytime day or night.I have sat upon a seat without the seat being down,but I usually wasn't looking.I have never understood the argument about men putting down the seat top.I can understand the complaint of them wetting the seat when they use it ,but putting it up or down is a silly thing to take so serious,really.

i don't really take this so seriously,.just wondering what makes a man think./ of course i could wait a lifetime and never know the answer to that one. But you must have felt compelled to be in on this discussion/ if only to say you don't care, so thanks for your opinion!

I live alone and have a separate loo. I don't even like to SEE the toilet...lol. But I forget to pull the door to when I leave. That's okay but then every time I walk past I see the loo with the lid up and I think..eewww...not nice. Now I don't know why I don't like my toilet, it's useful and I generally leave feeling much better than before I went in. It could be that I don't like it because it smells sometimes. Or perhaps it's because when it's the middle of the night and cold and I've put off throwing off the covers and then had a mad dash to use the pot and I'm letting go as I sit and I've put the cover down!!!!
Sometimes you just can't win.

Sorry, didn't really adress your question. It's not just men. this toilet seat problem is shared by men AND women. Just be glad you don't live in some Asian countries where there is a long wide slot in the floor and women have to squat!!!

this never bothered me before, except the one night i went to use the bathroom after my boyfriend had left, and I fell in the toilet. what a shock to my system at 2am! I dn't teribly mind putting the seat down, after all everytime i flush i have to put the lid down, and the next person would hav eto put the lid up...of course it would suck if someone sat down on the lid and started peeing, LOL!!
