Many merchant seaman working for companies, like the East India Trade Company, found their ships taken by pirates. These men were living in tough conditions for very little pay. Piracy offered them an opportunity to share in the vast wealth and live a "Robin Hood" lifestyle of sorts. Of course, unlike Robing Hood, they were robbing the rich and keeping it, not giving to the poor.

Why are people attracted to each other?

Answer If I had the answer to this question, I'd have a harem of women living with me. You can probably answer this question yourself, by asking yoursef what is it about a girl that attracts you and turns you on. Answer # 2: Some scientists say that humans subconciously smell or scent the genes of other humans when choosing a mate, and the genes of the smellee that best match the genes of the smeller are most appealing and aid in attraction. Answer # 3 I am a man, so maybe I am a bit cynical, but it seems to me that many women (and some men, too) are attracted to someone who can provide them with security, that is, someone who has money. I think it is the nesting instinct, that they want to have children and they want someone who will provide for them. Many men are simply attracted to women who turn them on sexually. They are attracted to lots of women, for lots of reasons. Looks, intelligence, humor, a good dancer. Both sexes want the best partner they can find, basically someone who is too good for them.

Why do people look Different?

All people are different as you know and not all people are going to like you or anyone else on this planet. You can't bat 100%. You know if you are a good person and that's all that matters. Some people may look at you and smile because you bring the best out in them or they may think your comical. Others may find themselves attracted to you and stare, while others may frown and you either did something they disapproved of, or it's their way of being fascinated or interested in you. I've found myself staring at a particular person for no reason and my mind is a thousand miles away.
