What's the laugh point here when Ross says "The way he makes me feel about myself"?

Ross: You know what I like most about him, though?
All: What?
Ross: The way he makes me feel about myself.
All: Yeah...

I see nothing humorous in the passage.

The central joke in this episode is that Monica has found a new date (Alan) that everybody likes for a change. In fact, he seems to be perfect in every way.

In this scene, much to Monica's amazement, the friends are all singing Alan's praises. The laugh here is how the compliments have gone a bit over the top.

Context is king.
