Oh, plenty.
First, he had a lot of wives: Metis, Themis, Mnemosyne, then Hera.
Io (Hera was so jealous, that she changed her into a white heifer), and their son was Epaphus.

Callisto, a nymph. Zeus took the form of Artemis in order to seduce her. She bore son Arcas to Zeus. She gave a vow to remain single. to Artemis, but did not keep it, and she was no longer chaste. She was turned into a bear, either by Zeus who didn't want his wife to know of the love affair, or by his wife, Hera, as revenge for the affair. She was then killed in a hunt by her best friend Artemis who thought she was a bear. Zeus changed the dead Callisto into a constellation, the Ursa Major (Great Bear). Her son, Arcas, born of the affair with Zeus, was changed into the constellation Ursa Minor (Little Bear).

Yes, he was the Biggest Lover of his times!
I have read he seduced the beautiful Leda transforming himself in a swan, and achieved his purposes while she was taking a bath in a river (maybe a lagoon, I don't remember the story completely).
He also seduce Danae while she was sleeping. He came as a gold rain and fecundated her.
Both encounters gave him an important offspring. In the case of Leda, she had Caxtor and Pollux (the Gemini). However, there are some other explanations for the origin of these twins.

Maybe these pages can help you.

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/R89ww
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.
