The narrator addresses Jeeves, clarifying his stance on his charm and allure. He emphasizes that contrary to being a magnet for women who find him captivating and irresistible, he actually experiences the opposite effect. Instead of enchanting the ladies, he often receives skeptical reactions, which consist of raised eyebrows and contemptuous expressions. This comic self-deprecation sets the tone for his interactions.

This revelation highlights the narrator's awareness and insecurity regarding his appeal to women. Rather than portraying himself as a dashing figure, he presents a humorous view of his social shortcomings, suggesting that his presence tends to unsettle rather than attract. Wodehouse uses this contrast to create comedic tension and build the character's relatable persona.
