Hi, I'm Claire.
Dating coach based in Bristol, specialising in men over 50 getting back into dating.
Who I am
I'm 44 years old, live in Bristol, and I've spent the last seven years coaching men over 50 who are dating again after a divorce, a bereavement, or simply a long break. On MenOver50.com I share what genuinely works, based on what I see with my clients week after week.
Most of my clients arrive with the same worries: which photo to use, whether apps even work for someone their age, and how to write a first message that doesn't sound outdated. Those are exactly the questions I answer here.
How it all started
After my own divorce, I noticed how differently dating worked for men and women over 50 – and how many men felt completely lost, because the unwritten rules had changed entirely since they last dated. That observation turned into a coaching practice, and the coaching practice turned into this blog.
Those experiences shaped how I write now. I want to give away what I've learned, because I know how much shame many men carry around dating again later in life, when it's something almost everyone eventually faces.
What you'll find here
I write every post with practical, specific advice straight from my coaching practice. No generic "how to find love again" listicle, but content that actually helps – whether you're just starting to date again or you've had a few disappointments already.
- Finding the right dating platform for men over 50
