It's an unpaired word. The same reason why we never describe someone as "hinged".
You would if you'd seen my cabinet impression.
Finally a fresh take on political humor
Imagine how deranged someone would sound calming saying "I'm very whelmed by this"
I actually know someone who says this, or at least they used to.
I've said "this is very.... Whelming" as a sort of insult that it's particularly middle of the road.

I was intrigued by this so I had a look in the good ol' dictionary, and whelmed is a word... Although it's meaning is closer to overwhelmed than it is to, say, nonplussed as you might assume.

This information has left me plussed
One might say that I am currently whelmed. We generally don't have much to complain about when everything is fine.
