it means that he can find someone better.
For these people, he doesn't meet his ''standard''
No no, it's a common reply to finding out someone is gay. I don't know how it was intended in this story, but in real life it's marshalled against gay people all the time. My newsfeed was filled with it when Tom Daley came out.
oh okay, i didn't see it that way
In that case Im sure it's how people view a heterosexual relationship as the "perfect pairing" so if someone comes out as homosexual it is then a "loss/waste" because that perfect pairing can't happen now. All BS basically
Maybe but I think it means that a good looking guy is being wasted, cause he could have made some woman very happy... Which is why it's so confusing, cause you could call a straight man a waste cause he could've made some man very happy.
Maybe you're right though... idk
In this case it isn't related too sexuality / gender of the uke, but rather his standard (personality, talent,...)
I don't get what people mean when they say it's "a waste..." Very confusing.
