I think the red and whites are dull but earlier in my lush life I talked to some just out of curiosity. Most were here just to cyber but I met a few that were great conversationalists. So I try not to pass judgement on people until I chat. That said, I have less inclination to chat with rws now because I am comfortable with my circle of friends. Though I still love chatting with others it's less likely to be with people who have given no indication of their interests.
And I have a couple of personal pics on my profile for friends. They are just a couple pics of me smiling...nothing salacious. I like sharing a bit of myself and love when others do too. Lush is my secret place too but I think I'd know if one of my lush friends was close enough to me in real life that my identity was at risk. Plus it's just a pic. Most would pass right by even if they ran right into me because our brains skim faces when distracted by the normal hum of thoughts. I think there is less risk in showing your face here than being on lush in general. Nothing is really that secret on the internet if people know where to look.
