There are again three solutions to this -
a) smile, simper and say 'yes snuggles, I'll just go and re-apply my lipstick so I look stunning enough to hang onto your arm'
b) turn to the nearest woman and start bitching about men very loudly (and other women's clothes, obviously, as this is obligatory) or
c) down your pint, say 'I've always fancied a TVR actually, fantastic acceleration, beautiful bodywork and all named after a bloke called Trevor.....' before launching into a conversation about that last male bastion, football.
