Your comments got me concerned.
I don't post on here things (rumors) that I'd take with a "grain of salt" because the insinuation could damage an escort's reputation. I googled his name wondering if I could find out the "negative press" you alleged, and I found out he was attacked on WeHo because of being gay, his video was just heartbreaking. I also found out he posted about a local Baltimore ponstar who voted for Trump. Nothing to be ashamed about it, no negative press at all...

Considering all the criminal behavior by other pornstars: domestic violence, blackmail, murder, drugs, etc. I wouldn't mention words like "negative press" referring to someone unless I have at least a mugshot to back it.
He asked @Reisr30 $600, not $500. I just assume he's initial asking price was the same to you. After I read again your post, you didn't exactly said how much was his original price though yet you said "he came down".
Anyways because of your comment I found out more things about him. I guess he doesn't escort full time and just occasionally does it. I don't know how romantic he would be with clients like you and me, but I hope if he goes to nyc you hire him and review him from us. I'd be truly interested if he comes to DC and thanks again about your post. Because of you I searched his name and NOW I'm truly interested in him!
