Crossword Genius

A fine female, fit and friendly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

affable

'friendly' is the definition.
('affable' can be similar in meaning to 'friendly')

'a fine female fit' is the wordplay.
'a fine' becomes 'af' (I've seen this in other clues).
'female' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'fit' becomes 'able' ('able' can be similar in meaning to 'fit').
'af'+'f'+'able'='AFFABLE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for affable that I've seen before include "Easy to talk to" , "Good-humoured, friendly" , "Genial and friendly" , "Pleasant to talk to" , "Good-natured, sociable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
