It was said by the character Charles Miner, played by Idris Elba, who by character is the new, good-looking boss of the office in that episode of the series.

Charles proceeds to tell the camera that he is well-aware of this mechanism, claiming: “I am aware of the effect that I have on women.”
Spread and Usage
As a meme, I am aware of the effect that I have on women started to spread on Tumblr around 2012, in a form of an animated GIF.
However, it was in 2018 when the format was caught up on Reddit, and eventually became very popular in the following years.
