Yes, but what someone perceives as lucky and what is actually lucky maybe very different things. For example if someone gave you a free car at the time you'd consider yourself hella lucky but if the end result is that that car had a murder weapon concealed in it which you ended up taking the wrap for 6 months down the track, on the whole, it would be very unlucky, you just would never realise it until the event which negates the previous benefits occurs.

So him having so much female attention could very well be really unlucky if the end result of all of that attention is bad enough, even if that attention would be a bad thing if excluded from the resut. Now when you consider that pretty much every bad thing to ever happen to him has been the result of one of the women in his life either directly or indirectly and that they happen frequently enough for him to be basically running from one event to another and unable to enjoy all that female attention it seems pretty clear that objectively it is unlucky for him to draw this kind of attention from these people.

Bad things can have good side effects. I believe his harem is simply a good side effect of having terrible luck and getting drawn into terrible events, as he mostly gets drawn into these events due to his willingness to defend women.

It is merely a combination of a lesser good side effect to his bad luck and his personality being one that makes him more likely to take the path with the unluckiest result to appease/help a cute girl that is crushing on him, that results in cute girls that can bring a lot of trouble into his life crushing on him. His bad luck just happens pays out in such a way because of his personality, after all, luck doesn't negate his free will, it just attracts bad situations to the path he would choose due to his personality and those of the people around him.

Basically what I'm trying to say is bad luck just means bad things are more likely to happen, not that every and all result is guaranteed to aways be bad if that was the case Touma would have died in his first fight due to tripping at the wrong moment or something. So a Harem is a good side effect of bad luck bringing people who are most likey to elicit help from him in dangerous ways into his orbit, cause let us be honest nothing is more dangerous and unlucky than a teenage boy trying to show off to a group of girls.
