You're dead on, I think, about the show being "more comedy-based than squishy heavy romantic feelings". For people like me who actually have to go through relationship woes, the show provides an excuse to laugh at how immature things could be. The manga, on the other hand, is actually taking a pretty steep turn. It's still using unrealistic ways to incorporate the events tho.
Actually, there used to be a universal rule regarding 'guys and anime' that I always followed; Never browse through OHSHC [Or any other anime] fanart when a male is present in the room. Exposure to it might just stunt his manliness. In reality I bet lots of boys might actually like Ouran, but they'll probably risk putting thier orientation in question. After all, the formula for the club really is just a big mosh pit of picture-perfect guys living in a fictional realm. They happen to execute scenes flawlessly, plus they more often than not, act a bit more flamboyantly than needed. All the while sipping tea and promoting cross-dressing.

Yeah I kinda swore off the series for those reasons until I was (really) bored and watched a few episodes. Then "homo side-characters" came up and I died laughing and I've been hooked ever since. I've been reading the manga and I see what you mean about steep turns. (I'm up to 47 chapters in two days. xd )
I guess the flamboyance and extravagance of the characters is what makes it constantly entertaining. All the while, it's a pretty nice break from "O SNAP, EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN [character a] AND [character b]! WHO WILL WIN THIS TEST OF UNBELIEVABLE POWER!?!?111?!"
Not to say I don't still like that sort of thing, but it's nice to have a break. Plus the "girl = boy" thing kinda got me interested.
...I guess to most guys That seems like it'd look gay. D:
