After being denied entry into one male organization after another from early childhood this San Miguel gang has reinvented itself as a False Boy Club. They deliberately dress like men. Other gangs adapt certain items of male attire.
There are men but they get captured by the female gangs. They are a few male gangs such as the jean jacket gang but they are as hard to find as a rare bird.
No one told me about the gangs of San Miguel. You think you are going to visit a quaint, parochial Mexican town in the mountains. But sit for a few minutes in the Jardin and you are soon surrounding by middle aged American gangs demanding your atttention. Something bad happens in San Miguel when Americans come here. Some people call it 'reinventing' yourself. Some people call it 'magic'. Some people call it 'finding yourself'. Some people call it 'opening your heart'. It doesn't matter what it is called it is downright scary. They swarm the Jardin daily in their little gangs trying to get you to join. They set up tables to recruit you. They try to get you to go on walks and house tours. They put on concerts and art shows. They corner you on park benches and at at happy hours. They send their dogs after you. They have places called Raices Bien where stretched women and pretty men entice you to see "gated communities" where some gang members live. I have been instructed to lock my bedroom door at nights because "they" will get you in the night. Be warned if you come

If your picture is on here and you have never taken a picture of a citizen of San Miguel then I will remove it. But if you have ever taken a picture of some "interesting local" to show your friends how 'quaint and colourful' San Miguel is then I think your picture on here is fair game.
