(Angela, a beautiful woman in a tight dress, enters.)

Angela: Hi, Joey.

Joey: My god, Angela.

(Angela takes a seat at the counter.)
Monica: Wow, being dumped by you obviously agrees with her.

In this case, it means "is beneficial to her".
"You look very well since you started work at the brickworks. Hard work must agree with you."
"I can't eat spinach. It doesn't agree with me" (It makes me feel sick).
