Rich girl vs Poor girl (social experiment)
In this Social Experiment I dress myself down to look like a poor girl and see if the public will be willing to help me out compared to me dressing as a successful business women.

NOTE – this is a funny video but with a serious underlying message about prejudice. As a former extremely poor girl this is a cause close to my heart.

I did this social experiment because I was always interested how people treated you differently based on what they believed your social value to be.
Also as a former extremely poor girl I know how horrible it is to be judged on what you wear so I hope you like this video.
If you enjoy the message share this experiment

+Hayley Quinn I am glad you notice one shouldn’t be judged by what one wears. Back in 2015, you even had a stylist for your male clients. I find those outfits disgusting. Now, you’re wearing shiny leggings for this experiment, imagine how society would react if you’re a man in shiny leggings.
+Laken Tak if you wanna wear shiny leggings wear shiny leggings is what I have to say to that
Get this; I did my own social experiment, sort of starting accidentally, as I was incidentally growing my hair out for a cancer victim, in memory of my mother. I noticed how people looked at and interacted with me, differently. So, I decided to take it a step further and started wearing casual clothes that are now baggy on me, from losing weight, growing my beard and donning a fedora type old hat.
WOW! I ran into someone that I knew and they stared at me like I had leprosy. Did not say a word, just looked horrified and walked out of the store! ( I had been standing in the check out line, behind her. )
+Hayley Quinn You’re really cute also with out makeup. Your eyes look very pretty.. And yes i’m flirting with you on a youtube comment hahah.
You gave a more elaborate explanation when you were portraying the rich girl – people are more likely to help or do what you want them to do if you give any sort of explanation. But apart from that people obviously engage with the “normal” looking person more since we believe them to be sane and predictable, but with the rough, out of the ordinary looking person we can’t estimate their behaviour and avoid them – the intention for ignoring the poor girl doesn’t come from a negative place at all
An excellent social experiment. Think these are the types of social experiment we need more of on YouTube instead of all the other prank rubbish! Very moving. I too know how’s it’s like to be low on luck… Try not to forget that now that my circumstances have completely changed. You never knew when life or fare may take you back there. As well as the obvious you’ve demonstrated in this experiment, for me personally there is another lesson one can take away, without breaking the bank or being too vain, day-to-day your appearance really matters. As a Brit that lived and studied in London, now living out in Dubai, frequently returning to the U.K. To see and meet family, I’m always thrown at how being back in the UK, trying to look as ‘hip’ as all the other guys with big beards, beads etc. I get treated very differently. I’m made to feel on occasions as tho being Asian and having a beard is somehow a reason to treat me differently. Perhaps I’m viewed as an extreme Muslim?!…
… Even tho I’m not! Tho out here in Dubai I’ve done much better career wise and on YouTube because I fit the ‘accepted’ appearance. It’s very hard to change your internal views on appearance away from what society etc. Tell you.
just love your videos, Haley. Keep up the good work.
poor people don’t wear adidas leggings
lol ikr
That’s what I noticed , also she was wearing a Nike hoodie
+Savannah Walls it was a puma hoodie
+evie fallen oops , yeah your right it’s a puma hoodie. It just kinda looked like the nike logo , but your right
Hand me downs. Or the thrift store.
I do this experiment myself from time to time and I quite enjoy it actually. As a man it surprises me how little changes in my look e.g. shaving, hoodie and gilet vs white shirt and coat, trainers vs smart shoes etc make people either giving eye contact, greeting and smiling vs ignoring me totally or even worse looking down to me. I also feel -as a single man, how some girls stares at me in a nice way -infatuated, when I look more dressed up. The good thing obviously is it is a helpful way to attract certain people -sadly it seems like most people are affected by that, the bad thing though if only appearance plays an important role, how can I distinguish between genuine attraction from other people towards myself and I mean personality, values, philosophy of life, etc? It’s really a sad and ugly truth and never helps to find a true love, or even sometimes a true friend. This could prevent potential friendships or relationships in which first impression based on appearance.
I’m middle class leaning on the upper side and I look like the “poor girl” on a daily basis. I need a makeover 🤓😑
+Just Abby that’s my daily look
Nah she just did a bad job
Same. I don’t think I need a makeover because Nike, and adidas don’t really make you look poor or rough..
I’m not denying that wealthy and poor people are treated differently but I think this video is a little too simplistic.
The “poor girl” looked like a potential drug addict and people could easily assume she is lying and actually wants money for drugs which people generally aren’t willing to support.
About the “rich girl”, being approached by her people might initially think she is just asking for directions, to borrow the phone or something like that, then when she starts asking for money, you can see how reluctant and maybe even uncomfortable the people are feeling, but they’ve already let her past their stay-away-barrier so it’s harder to decline her plea.
I find the “rich girl” to be very persuasive and practically manipulating the people into giving her money.
Humans can easily walk past a homeless person by blocking out certain things, but as soon as a person gets an identity it’s different.
True
very well said
Yes that’s what I thought too especially for the drug addict possibility
Right, the poor girl had dark circles and looked unapproachable, not social, rather than poor/needy
+ThelmaDomo101 Poor character*
at least make it look believable and not wear adida leggings
@mara X it’s not about the look of the people who are asking favour it’s about us, our capacity of helping.
Theresa margareth Mil good point 😊
Well AGAIN ppl.HAVE NOT even saw brands and they act bad..When she was better looking they act better.AND you have fakes who look sometime amazing.So she did a great job
you should do pretty and obnoxious vs ugly and very nice
Wtf? Wearing Nike, Adidas, etc. does not at all make you look “poor”
It was a puma sweat shirt😁😁😁
It was a puma sweat shirt😁😁😁
Maybe she thrifted them (:
It’s because she was walking around in it u don’t usually walk around in gym wear looking like u have a hangover
I find the poor version Hayley more attractive than the overly makeuped business version, even still I would ignore a girl that attractive talking to me because for sure its some sort of setup or she just wants me to give her something.
These types of videos have a phenomenal concept, but flawed execution. You need to use the same script for both roles, you can’t whip out an extensive and sympathetic script only when you’re in the “rich girl” outfit.
Yesss that’s exactly what I was thinking!
EXACTLY
Yes she had lower condidence dressed poor.
But you DONT look poor like that!!
Adidas pants, puma top, nice running shoes… You are dressed as a rich sporty girl.. Far from poor
Officer Jake she looked far from rich and sporty.
Even I can’t offered Nike trainers, a Nike jumper and adidas leggings, little unrealistic there… Valid experiment but there were definitely flaws in the execution of it.
People own stuff before their life goes down the hill…my dads been there before and we still had the clothes we wore before
of course it’s possible but for an experiment like this is was a rooky error.
Ikr same
i think you meant to say, “I can’t afford …”. A rich man can OFFER his money to other people. But a very poor guy cannot AFFORD Nike trainers because they’re too expensive for him.
There have been situations where people with Jordans ask for money and get cursed out because they have “Jordans”. It may be all you have, but if someone is asking you for money in the street and they look decent, you’re not sitting at your computer analyzing the situation thoroughly.
Help those who need.
unfortunately, not every begger is honest about their situation.
I live how she just asks the waiter if he remembers her, despite not serving nor talking to her. Also, like other people have said, people aren’t going to think you’re poor if you’re wearing brand clothes, and also, just because you walk up to a random person and ask for money, they aren’t going to give it to you based on your look.
Whew. This was almost hard to watch. I’ve been on both sides of this fence. Broke. Broken. And now financially secure. Secure enough to help lift others up. There is a HUGE difference in the way I was treated before and the way I am deferentially treated today. The level of trust from others is huge now although I was probably a better person then…
So she’s meant to be looking poor but she’s wearing adidas clothing😂
Philslittlepill IT CAN be used or old too.
I think you raised awareness, people’s takeaways from this, commenting and focusing on the brand says more about them. People judge. The first thing you are asked is about your job, basically your earning capacity and your ambition education level. Sad but true.
I came from nothing, made something, then walked away because all the things films and the media lead us to desire isn’t as fulfilling as we may think. It truly is what’s inside and what makes you truly happy that’s important.
