The Swingers's BBQ (18 of several): The young people.

There were a notable number of young people at the barbecue...

All the guys for the most part were in their early 30s and were neatly shaved and cleancut or had neatly trimmed and hip goatees and collared shirts and jeans and shiny shoes, and they all had too much cologne, and their girlfriends all tended to have bleached blonde hair and too-short black cocktail dresses on. They were like the straightest people ever, and were dressed like they would just make it past the guard into a club, since they all were shiny but seemed a bit shabby around the edges, or a little bit rough.

(Everyone there seemed a bit rough, for the most part.)

One girl eyed me a few times, but my one friend who I came with said that she got eyed a lot, and always by the girlfriends, never by the guys. The one girl who eyed me would walk by being led by her boyfriend, and she would turn back and smile at me, and this happened like twice.
