Seat up if you value mechanical simplicity. Females dominate the down position and males use both up and down; therefore, the courtesy should favor males.

Seat down if you value women. Sacrifice is the key to masculine dominance and domestic tranquility.

” Exactly, if it becomes an annoying issue, then the man can just ignore the whole thing and never adjust the seat again, and just take it as it comes. “

I guess if you cant bulls-eye an 8 inch target and need a 10 you need more range time...

Seriously... My spouse always puts those fancy seat covers on at Christmas time, and the lid just won’t stay up. So... I just leave it down. I’m a pretty good aim even in my sixties.

When I renovate the bathroom off my man room I am going to install a urinal. I don’t know why more houses don’t have them.

The toilet is unsuitable for male urination anyway, American bathrooms need urinals, and toilets closer to the floor.

I intend to put in a urinal and a squat toilet.

Women often say they have to use the toilet in the dark at night, so men should always put the lid down.

Only a fool sits down without first checking the seat. Depending on someone else to do what you wont do is lazy.

Just another step towards forcing men to sit while peeing.

I’m surprised they haven’t invented a device for the toilet which automatically lowers the seat if it detects a woman in the room.

Remember the Jack Nicholson quote in "As Good As It Gets."

Sure they do, they’re called sinks

It’s just one of those little ways to show you care.

If you really care, you'll leave the seat up. She will only make the mistake of sitting in the commode once.

Putting the seat down will deprive her of a valuable life lesson. ALWAYS look before you sit on anything. The ass you save, could be your own.

You know the name man cave or room bugs me..

I think the lib feminist like the “man cave” name

..reinforces the men, primitive, cave-man concept..

I like the when we use to call it a “den”..

a den has the same cave context in the animal world

But in a house, for the man room, call it the den, it doesn't make men sound like troglodytes..

the den is where a man goes to drink single malt, smoke cigars and write deep thoughts on the Internet ;)

my Friday rant / off

My simple rule: put it back the way I found it.

You smoke cigars in the house?

You must be single.

Unfortunately, peeing into a toilet produces a fine mist that coats everything around. Tests have been done where toothbrushes and other surfaces in the bathroom were covered with urea when a man lived there. When no men were around, there was none. When I pee with shorts on, I can feel it om my legs, so I started peeing sitting (when I was a kid, the taunt was “you have to squat to pee). Also, when you get my age it takes forever to pee.

Agreed. I think the man cave thing comes from the fact that so many of them are in windowless basements. But I like the term den as well.

I learned that when I moved to Minnesota/Wisconsin, the laundry tub in the basement was the urinal during Keggers.
