A question for all the male compers.....

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?

    Good question, also do women entering on men sites have any chance of winning?

    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.

    I have never won anything from a female site - have taken to entering my wife's details now just in case :)

    I always enter the mens comps on behalf of my husband, but I still haven't won the guitar/motorbike for him yet :confused:

    I must admit I enter a lot of comps on sites aimed at females but I nearly always enter them in my wife's name!

    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 enter
