#plain-looking

Clipped from www.guardian.co.uk

This video follows one woman's social experiment: is an attractively made-up woman more likely to get free things than a plain-looking woman?

Like many women, Caroline has long been suspicious that men are suckers for a pretty woman. So she decided to make her own social science experiment to find out if this is true (for her). First, whilst very plain-looking, she asked for bus and taxi rides, a piece of cake and a drink – for free. She was rejected on every request but one. Then she got fully dressed up with make-up, heels and a revealing dress. This time, she gets everything she asked for – for free.

So what's happening here?
