Finding someone to marry in life is harder than finding a job that pays a living wage while also offering healthcare. Hell, finding someone acceptable enough to date at this point is torture enough. While drudging through the hell that is your mid-twenties, you have constant reminders that you’re single – not being offered a plus-one at a wedding, engagements filling every feed you’re subscribed to, and relatives asking “when you’re going to settle down.”
But listen, Aunt Linda – shit ain’t that easy.
Just look at the phenomenal Instagram feed of ‘Third Wheel Extravaganza,’ a woman who clearly is self-deprecating enough to revel in the fact that she’s single despite the deadness that sits behind her blank eyes.
You almost have to respect her dedication to the single craft. If you’re going to walk through life alone, you might as well make a mockery of it while also making all of your happily married friends look like assholes.
Her bio reads, “Ah, love. It makes the world go round. Unless you’re me. Then you just lurk in the background of cute couples, but hey.” You’d think it would behoove her to include some contact info for potential suitors, but with her Instagram following growing by the minute, she needs to strike while the content coals are hot and remain single for as long as possible.
Or at least until she gets a book deal. .

As the #1 ranked third wheel in the world, I relate to this.
1 is the loneliest number
Congrats on the rank.
Which organization’s rankings are you referring to? I recently won the ITWC’s championship belt after 10th wheeling a New Years and Super Bowl party.
Question, if you were tenth wheeling does that mean there were 4 couples and 2 single people one of which was you? It is early and I am already mathematically inept buts I gots ta know.
Kenny B, that was an error on my end. Meant to say 11th wheeling.
Thanks for the clarification, I am highly impressed by your feat.
Kendra? Is that you?
From the rafters
I’m not sure this girl is hipster enough
From the title, I thought this was just going to be the pictures of my dog, crafts and general lifestyle. Then I thought, “Defries and I aren’t Insta friends, thank God.”
I’ll take her out if she wants a date that badly
I’ll take her out on a date because I want it that badly
Book deal? Someone at MTV is already salivating at the possibility of making this a reality show now that the words out
I’ll take her out because I want a date that badly
Gotta respect the commitment to the dead-eyed glare in every photo. As a perpetual third/fifth/seventh wheel myself, I get it.
Just when I thought I had the most original Instagram account idea.
Sup?
She’s got nothing on @imnotathirdwheel Seriously, give him a follow. His photos are much more entertaining
Nice try, @imnotathirdwheel
I like to think I take the cake for world’s most single woman, though
Hit the bumble girl…
