Do you guys think that she is as "friendly" towards men as she claims she is? Or could a lot of it be made up to make herself feel better kinda like how it seems like Rose makes up those outragous St. Oloaf stories.

What do you guys think? The show makes her out to be a complete s***.

There was the one episode where the girls asked her if it was all true what Blanche did with some guys and she said "All true!!" But she had her fingers crossed behind her back. So I'm thinking she's making some of it up. ;) :cool:

I think she made some stuff up.

I agree, a lot of it was "exaggerated," but I do think there was some fact in there, too. She clearly was not innocent, hehe.

She had a mirror at the top of her ceiling overlooking her bed! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Blanche had many many men.:lol:

Blanche had many many men.:lol:no blanche had many many many men

Even though there's no doubt Blanche had a long list of "boyfriends", she herself once stated that "embellishing is a Southern tradition", so it probably wasn't as long of a list of everyone would have suspected!!! :lol:

If you look carefully at the story lines with boyfriends, you can find examples of all of them going to bed with guys they haven't known very long - even a few days. Whether you call that friendly, or liberated, or free-spirited, or something less positive, I just think the behavior is similar across the board. Even in "Rose the Prude," Rose's fears are more about her attachment to Charlie's memory than about whether she knows Arnie well enough to be on the cruise.

Blanche actually lectured the other girls about playing hard-to-get - Sophia in "Old Boyfriends," and Rose in "Girls Just Wanna..."

(What really didn't make sense to me was how they all got so uptight about the younger generation doing the same thing - Blanche's niece Lucy, and then Rose's daughter Bridget with Dorothy's son's Michael.)

Are we really supposed to believe Blanche went to bed with the minister from George's funeral? ... or the box boy from the A&P?....or the "Flying Fanelli Brothers"? ...the list goes on and on! :lol:

Hey, ya never know, LOL. Either way it makes for good TV

Yes- definitely *some* embellishment. Remember when Rose said it was her experiene that people who talked about sex a lot weren't doing it that much. And Blanche got uneasy. hehe

Another time she said she had been in 143 or so relationships. But then when Rose said she had 56 boyfriends within a school year, she got all bent out of shape. Even though Rose didn't go all the way with them- which made her, according to Blanche, a slut- I thouight one had to go all the way top be considered that, but... :)

There is no doubt that Blanche was with many men, but some of it may have been tall tales to make herself appear for "experienced" and "attractive" than the other girls.

But of course she wasn't completely innocent, haha!

That is right that is the episode that they were helping that one man run for city councilman and lied about Blanche having a affiar with him. She did cross her fingers I think she did like sex but did not have it as much as she said.

I never liked the ep where Blanche needs to pass a college exam to get a degree. When the instructor makes a pass at her she is suddenly offended but it's okay when she does this to other men. It just makes her appear hypocritical.

^ He didn't "make a pass at her", he told her that if she wanted to pass the course she had to have sex with him. What offended her more than the offer of sex was the dishonesty of it, because she would be passing a class she didn't deserve to pass.

I don't see anything hypocritical about her reaction at all. It was a totally different scenario than, for example, making a pass at someone you met in a bar.
