Just had to comment

I haven't dropped by Flex for months but I needed to add my two cents especially upon reading a comment by a guy below, in regard to fake posts. I periodically check this site to see what's going on, and most of the most biting negative remarks about Flex were deleted, but the brilliantly positive ones replace them. It does seem to be a fake-out job. I'm old enough to remember Club Cleveland and even the old Flex on W Ninth. The new Flex is absolutely nothing like those places. Its down right dirty and empty whenever I've been inside. The crowd is usually a few lost looking and bored twinks who huddle in a room while heavyset old men wander the halls in an endless rotation. This place was promoted as gay cleveland's salvation and a magnet for gay tourism. In reality it has proved to be a huge flop for two reasons, I guess. For one, the staff, at least most staffers, didnt appear to know how to practice good customer service. A bathhouse is not the right place for club queen attitude. The facility's cleanliness was never a high point. That is also a managment problem. More importantly, the day of the baths is over. Young men, at least not the drugged out and losers, arent interested in trolling for casual sex in dark dirty hallways like back in the days of AIDS. Internet sites and gay friendly places have replaced the need for hook ups in public parks and baths. the only guys who continue to frequent these places are social outcasts and sex addicts, as well as hustlers and drug dealers. Cleveland may not have the most happening gay scene, but it surely has outgrown the bathhouse scene.
