There was much hilarity in the office today as we pondered what Captain Ahab might write in a dating profile if he were single, harpooning hearts instead of whales.
Of course, we don’t condone Ahab’s chosen profession (his HR file would be a novel in itself), but it’s fun to imagine how literature’s most intense sea captain might fare on the modern dating seas.
Name
Captain Ahab
Age
Older than my teeth, younger than the sea.
Occupation
Obsessive Whale Hunter, Part-Time Philosopher, Full-Time Captain.
About Me
Call me Ahab.
I’m a seasoned sea captain with a passion for adventure, a taste for danger, and a whalebone leg with more stories than a captain’s log.
I spend my days navigating tumultuous seas, staring into the horizon, and pondering the deeper meanings of life.
My heart runs as deep as the ocean, mysterious, unpredictable, and occasionally stormy.
My picture is recent, taken on the deck of my ship, The Pequod.
Hobbies
Sailing across the seven seas, engaging in philosophical debates with my crew, and maintaining a lifelong grudge against a certain white whale.
I also have a keen interest in marine biology (specifically Cetology) and stargazing for navigation purposes.
What I’m Doing With My Life
Currently, I’m on an epic quest for revenge against Moby Dick, the great white whale that took my leg.
It’s a full-time commitment, filled with danger, excitement, and the occasional existential crisis.
I’m Good At
Navigating by the stars, delivering dramatic monologues about the futility of existence, and maintaining a laser-focused sense of purpose.
I also have an uncanny ability to rally a crew around even the most perilous of causes.
Favourite Things
The salty sea breeze, the creak of my ship beneath my feet, and the thrill of the hunt.
Six Things I Could Never Do Without
My ship, my crew, the open sea, my spyglass, the pursuit of Moby Dick, and my weathered captain’s hat.
I Spend A Lot Of Time Thinking About
The nature of good and evil, the mysteries of the deep, and how to finally catch that elusive whale.
On A Typical Friday Night, I Am
Plotting courses, gazing into the abyss of the ocean, and keeping an eye out for that infamous spout on the horizon.
You Should Message Me If
You’re interested in long voyages at sea, don’t mind a partner with a slight obsession, and are definitely not a white whale.
Bonus points if you can tell a good sea tale.
