Date women from United States / California / San Francisco, 40 year old

Date someone special from San Francisco, United States. Hey there, thanks for stopping by. I grew up in Hawaii and am an island girl at heart. I have lived in SF for the past 15 years, worked in finance for 12 of those but left it behind a few years ago to start my own business.
I was raised with two older brothers so I can throw a football (left handed I might add) but also spent alot of time with my very southern grandmother so simple gentlemanly manners are big in my book. My guy friends call me hot but also think Im a pretty cool. My girlfriends call me loyal & I can say I have a few that I have had for almost three decades & we are still close, crazy right?
On the softer side of things, I have a big heart for anything with four legs and fur (preferably that barks) and think my 2yr old god daughter is the best thing this side of heaven. I love to cook & seem to express my nurturing side quite a bit in this way and if you can hang along side me in the kitchen, there is sure to be some heat.
What else am I looking for? A great partner to settle in with, someone who can keep up with me (but makes me want to slow down), has good grammar (because I do), passable math (because I don't) and open to where all of this may lead. A quick wit is sexy to me and although attraction is a big factor initially, it will be your mind & heart that keeps me coming back for more. If you like to play to win in sports and in life I will be a big fan. And last but not least, I like a guy with style, that one subtle piece you put on that most people will miss (but I will notice) that gives you an edge.
There is much more but I believe this is all about chemistry, that connection you get face to face, eye to eye so drop me a line and lets see where this may go.

Meet a woman from San Francisco, United States. All of a sudden you blink and your 30's are over! I guess that's what happens when you're having fun and not paying attention to the candles or your mother.
I have a great job, great friends, family nearby and lots for which to be thankful. But constant travel, my career and a terrible goiter have left me single, which isn't a terrible thing, but I would love to meet someone and settle down. Here are some quick facts:
1) I am pretty drama-free but do get cranky when I'm hungry.
2) I have an incredible knack for staying in touch with people. Even if we don't have a romantic connection I will likely be a friend for years. I have been to many weddings of friends that I met on Match.
3) I am easily entertained. Going on a walk or hike is my favorite thing to do.
4) I have a dog-share. I am 1/3 of a terrier owner.
5) I lived in Finland. It was brutal.
6) I am a twin but before you start fantasizing, she's my brother.
7) I love to bake which makes me a big hit at the office. My specialty is maple-pecan scones.
8) I try to go to Crissy Field every day. It's my favorite place in the city. Luckily, I have a great view of it from my office.
9) I have a get out of jail free card.
10) It doesn't happen often, but when drunk Michelle comes out, she's a big hit!
