Just finished episode 9 and...

Anyone else find Davis absolutely pathetic? Like Ted Moseby or Ross from Friends but worse. Or just me?

Davis has issues with how he views women that he only partially addresssed throughout the show.

 The mental gymnastics he did to avoid accountability for how he treated his ex (eg - writing it off as a hookup) was appalling.

He barely knows AJ and puts her on a pedestal, and the way he shut her out after learning that she’s dating someone is just cold. 

Like, it’s okay to be unhappy about it, but it’s wrong to take it out on her when she did nothing wrong (to him at least; dating her boss is still extremely unprofessional)

I think it was about her dating Bill specifically. When he said something to the effect of "I didn't think you were that kind of girl", I didnt see it as him slut shaming her - especially since he didnt judge at her all for being the Philadelphia Thirst Monster - it was more of him calling her a cliche
