I pretty much agree, but would stretch the point further. Female tolerance towards manga pin-ups depends on the cultural context. In Western Europe comics are mainstream, and it does not seem outlandish to have pictures of scantily clad women, even if you are in a couple.

For instance, I know a couple where this (http://bdillustrations.free.fr/diLoiselR1.jpg) kind of pictures hang in the living room.

Actually, I have an even better example. I draw pictures of naked women from porn sites, since it's an easy source material to train body proportions (yes, it's a skewed female subset). Anyway one day I was livid when I saw that my wife pinned some of my sketches in the living room... And it turns out that I never got any negative feedback, even from older generation people.

So three points here:

• tolerance depends on the cultural context. Probably in more puritanic societies this wouldn't fly.
• it also probably depends on how you feel/present it. If your place is absolutely covered with the stuff, or if you are embarrassed by it, people will find it strange, the same way I would feel strange if someone covered every surface of their place with train pictures.
• Women do not necessarily dislike female pin-up pictures. I never suggested my wife to hang those pictures. Also, I was recently looking at some yaoi, and even though it's not really my cup of tea, I would not be pissed of at a girl for having it. It's more the obsession level that I would worry about...
