I'm a guy, and I always lift the seat before I pee because I know from experience that my aim ain't perfect. I wouldn't want to sit down on the toilet and then realise the seat is damp, so I'm considerate enough of others not to set up that situation for them. Lifting the seat requires less effort than wiping down the seat with TP.
I always put the seat back down because neither of the other two people I live with pee standing up.
I'm well aware of the results of studies into what happens when you flush with the lid up, but I never put it down, and neither do my wife or daughter. So far, we haven't died of cholera or come down with any other dire disease spread via faeces, and our cats seem to occasionally enjoy sampling the water in the bowl as a change to the flavourless stuff in their water bowl.
Toilet seat up or down?
