NO, to me the chemistry felt forced.

Absolutely wish that she had ended up with David.
Hello there!

I think Hank Azaria is handsome. But not as David lol
But I think David was popular because he seemed weird like Phoebe. And he was sweet. But sadly, that wouldn't work with Phoebe after season 4.

If you're gonna pretend to cut her hair, at least put some scissors in your hand!

What the hell is with all of this Davis love? There is NOTHING appealing about him in terms of looks or personality.
Mike, on the other hand, was the best love interest on the show that wasn't part of the six Friends.

In some ways, yes. I found Mike to be kind of boring.
Maybe that bloody dagger will lead us to the murder weapon.

Post-pregnancy Phoebe was much harsher than the person David had fallen in love with. She honestly would have eaten him alive.

Yes! I always felt that way they both really loved eachother and she even cheated on mike with him so what does that tell u!

I was hoping that she would choose David, too, although if I really could have chosen, I think she should have ended up with Joey.

I do. I hate the fact that she ended up with Mike.
"Never mind walking a mile in my shoes. Try thinking a day in my head."

Yeah, me neither. None of Phoebe's mates seemed a great match for her. Maybe the best would be Gary from Season 5.
I don't like either David or Mike, though. I just watched TOW In Barbados the other day and again showed me how I just don't like either of them. David is more of an underdog, but still he is dorky to a fault. Mike, IMO, is just very blah.

I never really understood the love for David/Phoebe. He was too much of a pushover and he chose his career over Phoebe. I know she pushed him to, but he had a choice. They were together for 5 minutes and had no lasting impact on the show, imo.

Interesting to think about. I might agree, but thinking it through, I could handle Hank's character if it were given as much air time as Paul's
I wonder how they would have handled the story line of him and Ross hanging out in TOW Rachel's phone number.

I would have liked to see Hank Azaria more but his character probably would have gotten on my nerves. He took Ross' awkwardness to a whole other level.

Me too!

Well..I loved David s charecter.he was Adorable and nerdy.however I felt the chemistry between Mike and Phoebe was better.
He suited better with her.

I wish that David didn't leave in season 1, but I suppose Hanks committment to The Simpsons, and other films, made it difficult to stay on for a longer arc. I don't think though that he and Phoebe would end up together in the end, however. As Silverwolf pointed out and I agree with, David is too nice for her. In the later appearances of the show, David comes off as he wouldn't be able to handle her weirdness or her rudeness (as Phoebe is mean in seasons 4 and beyond), and he's simply too nice and respectful.

The O.C.

I always liked Phoebe with Mike better. There was just something about them that was really adorable. And David was sweet but just so nerdy haha.

doesn't it bother anybody that David lied to Phoebe by claiming he couldn't be with her because he was going to a non-existent place
What are you talking about, him lying about going to a non-existent place? He really did go to Minsk!

Ursula offered to get her into porn, twins make alot of money. How funny that Ursula would actually go there with Phoebe. violatorr7
Wait whuh? That sounds messed up. Why would that be funny?
But getting back to the OP's question, doesn't it bother anybody that David lied to Phoebe by claiming he couldn't be with her because he was going to a non-existent place. That isn't a very nice guy.
Everyone may have an opinion but very few seem to have an informed one.

Phoebe should've ended up as a lesbian.
Ursula offered to get her into porn, twins make alot of money. How funny that Ursula would actually go there with Phoebe.
"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Phoebe should've ended up as a lesbian.

I always wanted her with David.

He was a much better written and acted character and had more chemistry with Phoebe than bland and unfunny Mike.
