You're not the only guy who enjoys the show! Total male here!
Tamaki's a riot. From the very first episode, he's just been one huge laugh riot.

Yup, I loved Ouran as well. I actually fare pretty well with Shoujo anime and fujoshi-bait. Maybe it's my inner desire to be a well-toned bishie with nice hair
Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you.
As long as you remember Her, you are not alone.
I don't like shoujo anime, but I loved this show. I feel your pain, the only other fans I meet that I haven't introduced the show to were girls. I had to make a couple of my male friends and brother into fans so I had males to talk about the show with. I still feel like the only male who enjoyed it, though. Heck, I still feel like the only one who likes the dub over the sub. If you didn't know, they're really different.
Anime that needs to be licensed:
Aria: The Scarlet Ammo Beelzebub Familiar of Zero Future Diary Haganai (Acquired!)
And of course Case Closed needs to be saved. In addition, more Fairy Tail!
I also loved the dub (general preference meets Caitlin's awesome direction!) and, personally, I don't understand why more guys won't admit to liking this show or just aren't trying it. I know it's obviously shojo but it's also funny and touching. (I loved the scenes at the beach in particular. All kinds of emotions during that arc.)
I'm not surprised the show is popuar with girls but I've seen more guys talk about Peach Girl for crying out loud and that shows a melodramatic soap opera! Not that there's anything wrong with that, I love melodramatic soap operas. Used to watch ABC soaps every day. (I'm actually kinda pissed about the cancellations. ABC without All My Children? What the hell man?)

As said, you are definitely no the only guy who loved this show. ^_^ Heck, I'm a firm believer in the joke 'Real Men Love Shojo'. To me, a good story is a good story regardless of what age group or gender it's aimed at, and Ouran definitely has a good story with great characters.
Heck, I even used to RP on an Ouran site, and I wasn't the only guy there - though I was one of like...3.

Maybe if i'm a girl this won't matter but really don't be discouraged it's like how people say girls can't like Dragon Ball Z and stuff! This is my favorite show and i'm obsessed with it for ever and always!
Yep, like Gyt Kaliba said.
Real men read Shoujo.
It isn't like there is anything typically in a Shoujo that pushes away guys, both Shonen and Shoujo tend to be terminology for a broad demographic but a type of show attracts a mindset of person in the end, not a gender.

I could act like a guy to make some of y'all feel better... X) Seriously it is a good show. I honestly didnt think so many girls watched it, but after this post i guess i was wrong. (act like a guy... where do i remember that from?.. XD)
Watching anime has it's flaws... like making reality suck.
I've got plenty of friends both male and female that enjoy the show. There's nothing wrong with enjoying what you like regardless of what it is.
