Myself, I greet the crew on boarding and then get on with stowing all my items. Maybe I should be less "compliant" if I want serving first (but as I say it doesn't bother me it just amuses me except when IF takes the only bottles/cans loaded of something or as often happens 1F gets two bottles of spirits and mixers I get one.)
I don't think it's gender specific at all. My observation is actually there are more females who sit down in row one and then place their (usually Louis Vuitton monogram) tote bag on the floor and wait for crew to tell them the floor needs to be clear and put it in the overhead locker for them. I must have seen this exact scenario play out 4-5 times this year in CE already. There are plenty of DYKWIAs of all varieties.
