Heard this: Lead, follow or get out of the way. Upon reflection, it made much sense to me.
Our society is full of sheep. Make GOS work for you. Present yourself as your own man, one who does his own thing and has his affairs in order. Worthwhile women really respect that, and actually implicitly seek that out. The other kind, the shallow, superfluous ones, you don't want them anyway, as mentioned above.
What did attract you to GOS originally? You can present that by say something along the lines of: "because of the field I'm in, I must have a secure device". Shape the wording in a way that doesn't misrepresent the reality. (If you want to avoid people losing respect for you, you mustn't be found lying - which is much easier if you describe things as they actually are). Of course let them know you're not on just any old Android...
Once you put it this way, it makes you interesting and a bit of a mystery. You can utilize that to your advantage.
Hope this helps!
PS. Personally, whatever happens, I can never see myself going back, even though the blue bubbles is a real conundrum. I will not be wrestled into conformity by mindless, inconsiderate mob; by those whose life achievement is a compendium of twerking tiktocs. Having spent time considering implications and consequences of surveillance capitalism, spying, diminishing of our freedoms and more, I will not be at the fickle whim of those who never paid a fleeting thought to any of it.
