Now that superstar swimmer for Team USA, Ryan Lochte, 28, has secured another five medals — two gold, two silver and one bronze — in the 2012 London Olympics, bringing his Olympic medal total up to an impressive eleven, he has some time to muse about the finer things in life — like finding a girlfriend.

"I am always looking for the perfect girl," Lochte said, reports People. "Now that I'm older, I'm looking to settle down a bit." Lochte, who celebrated his birthday in London with his teammates just days after his swimming events at the Olympics were complete and then took the celebration in Las Vegas, looks for a certain type of woman (ladies: pay attention). "Anyone that can make me smile and make me laugh," he said. "That's the key to my heart."

Though Lochte recently did a stint on the CW's 90210, he's not switching his focus from swimming anytime soon. "I'm an athlete," he said. "But if I get the opportunity and people come to me about acting or anything, I'll be more than happy to do it as long as it doesn't interfere with swimming." Lochte has every intention of competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
