Finding The One isn't easy. Just ask every single woman on the planet. Men certainly aren't immune to that struggle. In fact, one man in Texas is so desperate to find love, he's willing to pay to get exactly what he wants. He is offering a $1,500 finder's fee to anyone who can hook him up with the girl of his dreams. He even created the website SleeplessInAustin.com to detail exactly what he's looking for. Problem is, some of his requirements are a bit outdated, if not bizarre.

First and foremost, wedding photographer Larry Busby wants a "woman of great quality." So what makes a woman of great quality?

"Thin or athletic build""No one over 130-pounds""Ages 21 to 41""White, Hispanic, or of European descent""I will not date any girl that has ever had a threesome or a large number of past sexual partners. I do not want a promiscuous slut.""I will not date a Black girl. I don’t care if she looks like Halle Berry""I do not believe that Whites & Blacs should mix races sexually and have kids together.""I would NEVER, EVER, EVER date a woman if I found out she had EVER been sexually active with a Black man."

Charming, isn't he? A lot of women would consider his rules a total turn-off. He requires a thin, athletic build, but as his website shows, he's certainly no David Backham.

Though, as annoying as this guy sounds, I have to give him credit for being honest about what he wants. If he's serious about finding a wife, why lie? Why pretend he is okay with characteristics that he's not? All too often, people hold back info or aren’t upfront when they are on the dating scene. The result is that you waste both your time and that of the other person. So while his requirements may seem silly or outdated to some, this way, both people know going in whether this has a chance of really working out.

What do you think of this guy's dating requirements?

Toddler Elaina Steinfurth's Remains Likely Moved After Cops Searched Her Mom's House

When news came out the other day that human remains had been found in the home missing Ohio toddler Elaina Steinfurth shared with her mom and mom's boyfriend, I think we all had the same question. Why now? Why didn't police find that box back in June, when baby Elaina went missing? They've been searching for the toddler for months now; surely they could have found this sooner?

It seems the answer could result in even more criminal charges.

Cops say the body was found inside a box that was behind other containers and piles of trash in a detached garage on the property Elaina's mom, Angela Mories Steinfurth, shared with her boyfriend, Steven King, property King owned. An autopsy performed last week was inconclusive, and DNA identification is expected to take several weeks, but police say they "think" the body belongs to Elaina.

So why now?

Well, according to Angela's stepfather, Richard Schiewe, the body was moved. Schiewe, who has pretty much said from the get-go that he thinks his granddaughter is dead, said he was there when police first searched the garage, and there was no box in the rafters.

That explains why police didn't find it; it wasn't their ineptitude. But are you thinking what I'm thinking? Someone tampered with evidence here.

We don't know right now if the human remains are Elaina or -- if they are -- how she died. So we can't say whether there should be murder charges.

But for the body to have suddenly appeared where it wasn't? That means someone was purposely trying to hide it from police.

It makes it hard to believe natural causes could be the cause for the death, for one. It also points to someone making it that much harder for the police to get to the bottom of this and give poor Elaina's father and his family the answers they so desperately need. It's like a sick game being played with their heads, and with this body, which deserves so much better.

Whatever happens next, someone needs to be hit with charges for this.

What do you make of the body being moved? Is someone playing games with this family?

Kate Middleton's Parents Will Likely Be Closer With the Baby Than Charles and Camilla

There's a ridiculous rumor going around, saying that Prince Charles and Camilla are "furious" at Kate Middleton right now, because she's letting her parents hog baby Cambridge. The Duke, Duchess, and little George Alexander Louis have been spending a good amount of time at Kate's parents' Bucklebury home, which is a big deviation from how other royal babies have spent their first few weeks. And which means Kate's parents are getting to spend more time with their new addition than Will's are.

Now, like I said, I seriously doubt Charles and Camilla are "furious" with their daughter-in-law over this, but if you believe the ol' "where there's smoke, there's fire" adage, there very well could be some truth to this. And isn't this something lots of couples deal with?

Royals. They really are just like us.

In my experience, it seems to typically be the case that one set of grandparents is the eensiest bit closer (or a lot closer?) with their grandkids than the other set. Growing up, I was a bit closer to my mother's parents than I was with my father's, really for no good reason at all. And in the case of my daughter, she's a bit "closer" with my father (my mom has since passed) than my in-laws simply by default. My husband's parents live a plane ride away, where my father is about an hour drive. And I've noticed the same thing with my friends, as well. I'm yet to see an instance where one set of grandparents is super close with the kids and the other not at all, but there's usually a slight noticeable difference. And, I don't know, from what I've seen, it kind of seems like the mom's parents tend to be the ones who are slightly closer. Maybe because, usually, mom is with baby more often than dad? (Or if dad's with baby more often, maybe baby's closer with his parents?) I realize it's not that way in every case, but does anyone else feel that way?

I'm sure on some level Kate Middleton and Prince William feel guilty that her parents are "getting all the fun". I know I do in my situation, but there's really nothing I can do about it, short of moving. The fact is, my daughter will likely grow up being closer with my father than she will with my in-laws. It's a bummer for everyone involved (even my dad feels bad!), but right now, here's where our lives and our jobs are. It is what it is.

In the case of Will and Kate, though (and many others), they are all close, proximity-wise. So it will be interesting to see how things play out. From what I've heard, Kate is extremely close with her parents -- hence, her bucking royal tradition and spending time at their place -- and she'll likely be spending a bit more time with the baby than Will. So if the Middletons got to see George a bit more than Charles and Camilla, I wouldn't be shocked. I also wouldn't be shocked if it annoyed them a bit. Furious seems like a bit much, but annoyance? Totally believable.

Is your kid closer with one set of grandparents?
