The author uses euphemism "a bit style-challenged" and "his humor leaves a lot to be desired" to describe Tom's flaws in a softened manner. This approach allows the narrator to talk about Tom without showing strong negative feelings. Therefore, the best option is:

to talk about Tom without showing the narrator’s true feelings.
