> Are your various friends/family all tech-y people?

Not at all. A few of my friends are techies and they use Android/iPhone about 50/50. Family is mixed as well. No one in family uses iMessage.

> I've seen people actually reject relationships because they don't date people with "green bubbles".

This seems like a feature, not a bug. I don't think you want to date someone who makes important life choices based on Apple marketing.

Edit: Is this a "Bay Area" problem or something? Or maybe a "young people" problem? I just can't imagine caring about whether someone messages me with "blue" or "green" text bubbles.

I'm not saying I run into these people, and I agree with your take.

I would bet money this is the opposite of the majority experience.
