12-time Olympic medalist, Ryan Lochte, is a popular name in the swimming world, and one can say in the women, too. Being one of the biggest stars of the 2012 Summer Olympics, Ryan is a self-proclaimed ladies’ man. In 2013, he starred in his own show called ‘What would Ryan Lochte Do?’ which followed the swimmer as he attempted to date different women.
