I disagree with that completely, seeing as how he's just pretty much head strong for getting somewhere with Minori and not really up for getting into Ami's obvious pleas. Also considering that Ami was more or less a complete
bitch he doesn't need to entitle her to much of anything. He's also far from being the dumb male lead as well, up to the point where I'd call that an insult to his character.

Winning more in the context of the girl getting what she wants. In a harem (meaning more than 1 girl) situation, it is a contest of sorts. The loser is left to their own demise to find their own happiness basically disappearing in a bittersweet way. No one wants their favorite character to end that way.

This show is not a harem. It takes care of its characters so well it's the farthest possible thing from a 'harem' imaginable.
And again, this isn't a contest either. Ami is the only one openly vying for attention somehow, while Taiga is shyly advancing towards Kitamura and Ryuji is actually doing quite well with Minori.
Yes we know Taiga obviously has something for Ryuji, but this doesn't constitute matters to be some sort of sporting event, this show has alot more class, heart, and appreciation for honesty to lower itself to that type of grade A garbage we've seen too many times before.
