Have any men won on female sites such as femalefirst, closer, cosmopolitan etc....??
I always enter these despite being a bloke, is this just a complete waste of time?

I enter comps on sites for men just incase. I recon anything I win there could be given to male freinds/my boyfriend as christmas/birthday gifts

I draw the line at entering kids/pensioners comps tho.Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

wouldnt it be some sort of strange discrimination? i get that comps have terms and conditions, i only dont enter kids and pensioner ones (and wedding ones i saw recently) , but i think it would be pretty strange if the prize isnt some sort of gender specific thing if men couldnt enterwin £2008 in 2008 member's club no 16. £200 down. at a guess. groovey
