Nevermind the seat. The lid should be left down and closed before flushing to prevent the spread of germs.

Funny thing is, it was a male who first insisted I do this and explained the mist emitted from a flushing toilet.
Keep the towels in the closet and nothing is left on the counter but alarm clock and soap pump, not really for the germ thing though, just prefer the clutter free look. Do have hand towel hanging next to the sink for hand drying though.
I've always put the toilet lid down because I have an aversion to all the rushing water when I flush.

I think the mist and germs theory was busted byLooked it up and read the mythbusters episode proved it's true, but the bacteria levels weren't high enough to be a concern to the average immune stytem. Very gentleman like of you with the seat though. Any woman who has sat their ass in water half asleep in the middle of the night would appreciate it.mistbustersmythbusters. They tested the toothbrush near or away from the toilet area myth.
So what it comes down to is personal preference and societal/cultural expectations. The way I see it, If I am in a male household I leave the seat up and in a female I leave the seat down. I sure as hell won't be taken to task for not doing so if I personally choose not to.

But you'd sit on the rim, if the seat was up. I doubt there are any people (women or otherwise) who would stick their arses that far into the pan.The bowl is big with the seat up. Plenty of room for an unsuspecting ass to fall right in. Why do you think it bothers women?

Psychological thing and comfort. The rim of the bowl is actually no bigger with the seat up than with the seat down. It's just narrower without the seat.The hole is bigger. Even a slightly heavy person can slip in enough to touch water.
BTW, what if you don't have alid that closes over the seat?They didn't bust it, they proved it's true, only not as bad as some might think.
If your dunny is in the bathroom, which is commonplace in the US hence the term 'I'm going to the bathroom', you can always wash off any water that spashes up from the bowl. But seeing as Adam & Jamie busted the germs myth, the point becomes moot.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO PUT THE WHOLE THING DOWN, SEAT AND LID, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! GODDAMMIT THIS IS ONE OF MY PET PEES!!!
