Anybody try to meet with Valentino Aston ? I had a rather negative experience and didn't actually get to meet him, but just wanted to see if anybody else has had experience with him or if he just really didn't like me.

So your experience with him was via text? Phone? DM?

First on the website. I asked him his rate and he said 800. I saw that his ad said available for videos, so I asked. He said for that, it would be 1500. He then suggests I text him, so I did. He really wanted me to get a hotel in WeHo, but I was going to be in Downtown Los Angeles and didn't really want to get a hotel room that would be more inconvenient for me (I had some business to attend to in Downtown LA). I offered an extra 100 for an Uber. I then say what I wanted to do again to make sure he understood and Valentino said "What did we agree on? Like 2000? And that's for videos without face?" I told him I didn't really think it was worth it for that amount not to have his face in the videos, but he later said it was fine. He then said he would insist on a payment beforehand. I sent a little less than half. He then told me he needed to be somewhere by 1PM. I had asked to meet at 11:30 so we could have about an hour of fun. On the day of the planned meet, he then said he was going to be running late because I insisted on a hotel that was so damn far away from WeHo (his words). Given that he said he was running late at 11:30, I felt like he might really eat into that hour we agreed upon. He just kept complaining (even after providing him with a deposit of 900). It seemed like a fight with how his rate ballooned from 800 to 2000. I felt some bad vibes given how combative he came across in trying to plan a meet. After he tried to blame me for him being late, I told him I don't think we will get along and I just blocked his number. Sucks that I'm out almost a grand, but paying another 1,100 for a meet that might have been as little as 30 mins seemed ridiculous. He has three 5 star reviews, so I expected him to be somewhat decent.

He’s looking for a Daddy to buy him LV and Gucci. Probably spends hours looking at himself like Narcissus. You can do better in LA.

Yeah, he was so combative every step of the way. It really seemed like he was trying to ask for as much as possible before I objected. I don't know if it's my age as well. I feel like some of these guys think I'm easy to take advantage of since I might be on the younger end of people who hire escorts.

I'm by no means loaded. I work for an AI company as a project manager and make just a bit above six figures. I like to hire cute guys once or twice a month and make videos. I've paid 2000 before, but the guy was a hunkier studio porn performer who seemed more worth that price.

There are a lot of guys with attitude like this. I'm certain they have the hot daddies of WeHo wrapped around their collective fingers. 

One such guy I messaged, halted correspondence after I said I couldn't afford 800 an hour. I recently saw him getting out of a brand-new Porsche in WeHo. I don't think he would even entertain the offer anymore. I mean why would he?

That reminds me somewhat of this one Vegas escort I tried to hire several years ago. We were both in Los Angeles at the same time. I had booked a stay at the Lisa Frank Hotels.com experience (given that they had so few nights available, I've always wondered if I was one of the only people to film xxx videos there).

Anyway, he quoted me at $700 and he would do everything I like  - sex videos with face and all. He asked for a small advance as he said he was in desperate need of money. I sent him $200 and hoped to see him. He never showed up. I did see two other guys that day though and one of them used the Lisa Frank pictures I took of him as material for his Twitter page, so that was kinda cute hah.

A few months after he got back to Vegas, he started dating a daddy type (some VP at a bank). The escort was living in a huge house and had designer handbags for every single day of the month it seemed. They got engaged. His rentmen page was gone, but he did keep his OF page. I guess he wanted it around as a backup in case that wedding never happened, but once it did his page was gone haha. I really don't see him ever needing to escort again unless the hubby wanted to trade him in a for a newer younger version. But yeah, I think I'm a little too trusting at times. He was pretty hot and I would have loved a video with him.

Yes, that’s always the risk with these boys, since a new cohort of twinks turns 18 every season.

the very VERY least you could do, for stealing over $1000, is give him the worst one-star review ever on RM. most people dont read companyofmen, but they read and respond accordingly to bad reviews on RM. 

also, in my humble opinion, he isnt worth $100 lol. but to each their own. sorry he stole your money! i dont know if its commonplace to give deposits but i never do it, especially because these guys know we dont have another (legal) recourse if they just bail.

Never pay upfront. If you do decide to take a chance and provide a deposit up front, always use PayPal "Paying for an item or service" with a description "Vendor deposit".  That way, if he disappears you can file for a refund by telling PayPal the vendor did not show up.  PayPal is usually quite good at charge backs if you have an established account for more than a year and no history of frequent charge backs. 🤓

Valentino Ass Done = Very High maintenance.

I wanted to leave him a bad review, but he texted me quite a few times before I blocked his number, so I was a little concerned he would have some rather unkind messages if I didn't block him on RM too. He was really just so damn negative about everything that I was worried he would make a bunch of remarks during our planned meet and I wouldn't enjoy myself.

I do rather like twinks and blondes (even fake blondes), so he was very much my type. The attitude was too much for me though. I think the whole deposit thing started with me because some guys believed I wouldn't actually pay up/didn't trust me. I remember I tried to hire one of my first escorts when I was 21. The guy asked my age and I remember him saying something like "Are you sure you're 21? I'm 21....". I guess he could have been saying I looked older lol, but I've had a number of comments about my age (usually that I look young). I would have wanted to give Valentino just a simple $200 deposit instead of the $900, but I feel like he would not have been happy with that.

I had a guy that said he liked to be paid on Cash App. After he flaked, I tried to do a chargeback with my card and then Cash App just up and closed my account 😅 I definitely would trust PayPal more to get my money back, but Valentino was insistent on Zelle.

Now that you've blocked his number, you're in the clear. Go give him a one star review. He stole $1000 from you. If you hadn't offered it for sexy services, he'd be in prison right now.

ONE more suggestion: never use your real phone number!

I actually use two phones. I have an iPhone and a Samsung phone. The Samsung is my main phone. I bought an iPhone when I'd text some of the guys and they'd say stuff like "Eww green bubble, are you sure you can afford to pay me lol?". I may be misquoting, but I literally received a message like that once =\

Wasn’t the guy who founded Cash App the one who was murdered in the street in SF a few months back? Talk about bad karma.
