I don't think that is true. It isn't that men don't care. It is that sizes on men's clothing actually mean something. I can walk into any store in the country and grab a pair of pants size 32 waist, 32 inseam and know that they will fit me just fine because 32 is an actual measurement in inches. It isn't some meaningless designation like 6 or 8 or 0 in women's clothing. It drives my wife crazy. I don't even need to try things on. Same goes for dress shirts. I wear a 15-1/2 neck, 32/33 sleeve. Never have I bought a shirt that size that didn't fit me well. In fact, shirts come packaged so I don't even wear them until I get them home and wash them first. I definitely don't try them on. There's no need. The size actually means something that is consistent across all brands and styles.
