I thought it's target demographic was unisex.
Anyway, I have had no actual dice in "converting" anyone. I have a friend of mine from art class watching the anime, but he constantly sidetracks from it so I don't know what to make of that. Though there are quite a number of people at my school who are well-aware of iM@S and another friend of mine is a fan herself, so there's that. There's also another friend (those who played Smash with me last Friday know him) who I tell info on the series to and he is very well aware of the franchise's existence, but I don't know if he can really be considered a fan. He is interested in Miki, though. But yeah, no luck on my end. :P

Well you could say the games assume you're a male, since the idols refer to you as one (Like how the twins call you Nii-chan and stuff). But on the topic, I have converted 3 people to Idolm@ster (all females) and it surprised me because what got them into it was the anime before the games. I used to think only people who were already fans could really enjoy the anime, but I guess I was wrong!

Its generally agreed that the anime is how a lot of newer fans got into the series. Heck, that's what got me into the series, even. For all the criticisms people tend to give the anime, its at least a good adaptation by being accessible to newer people who don't know about iM@S firsthand, which is a lot more than I can say for OTHER video game-based anime.... *coughsBlazBlueAlterMemorycoughs*

Hmm... let's see...
Though I didn't had intention, some friends of mine decided to try listening iDOLM@STER songs. I used some iM@S nicknames in a MMO, said what sort of music I listen, and et cetera. And people have some curiosity to know about iM@S series. Buuuuut, in my nation, iM@S isn't thaaaaat popular. If I can put in order of "What people like?", it'll be Vocaloid>Touhou>iM@S.
