R12:
[quote] Greasers are a youth subculture that was popularized in the late 1940s and 1950s to 1960s by predominately working class and lower class teenagers and young adults in the United States. The subculture remained prominent into the mid-1960s and was particularly embraced by certain ethnic groups in urban areas, particularly Italian-Americans and Hispanic-Americans, though rural and suburban youth also participated in the subculture to a lesser extent. Rock and roll music, rockabilly and doo-wop were major parts of the culture.

OP, my now elderly father was in a Greaser gang called the Rumble Cats in the 50s and it was about more than just the look and posturing. They really did rumble back then, often with bats and lead pipes.

I was definitely attracted to them when I was in high school. But also terrified of them. Guys like that used to beat up guys like me. I had girlfriends in high school who dated greasers, who were generally older than high school age and either dropouts or just never went beyond high school. There was an amusement park - long since closed down - in Whitestone or College Point or some such place (i. e., Northern Queens) where they would hang out. Does anyone else recall we used to refer to greasers as “hitters”? But haven’t heard that term since then.

R38 - wasn’t it called something like “Adventure Land”? I vaguely remember it driving to/from the Whitestone Bridge, on the same side as the old private airport for small planes. I asked my parents once if we could stop off at it, they laughed and said no, it’s not what I thought it was. This memory is from the 1970’s.

Oh God no. Even when I was young I disliked the " bad boys", most of them were stupid posers who hated everything and couldn't figure out anything better to do with themselves than hang out with other stupid posers and complain.
And of course, I find most "nice guys" totally lacking in sex appeal and not actually nice once you get to know them, which is why I'm still single.

If they were sexy and available, sure! I just wouldn't let their head touch any good pillowcases! I probably would lure them into a hot shower and wash their hair first, before getting it on.
