Haruhi is like a chickflick but for guys. Chickflicks usually consist of a boring, generic female protagonist so that the audience, women, can project themselves into her. The protagonist is then surrounded by interesting, dynamic male characters to serve as potential romantic options, insert love triangle here.
In Haruhi as well as many other anime the gender roles are reversed because they are made for a primarily male audience you have a boring generic male character for the audience to project themselves into and he's surrounded by interesting, appealing female love interests.
