A man cares most about a female's ability to birth and raise a child while a female cares most about a man's ability to protect the family unit and provide the offspring the best genes possible.
Personality does not matter for the man's role. As long as a man is naturally (NATURALLY, as in not forced through unnatural diet, activity, or hormone supplements) large, strong, athletic, and high T, every other prerequisite will follow, including confidence and fortuity. There's a reason people imagine cowardly men as physically weak: real confidence does not exist in a vacuum. Whether your typical 5'6 framecel is squared off against Hagrid from Harry Potter or Gregor Clegane from A Song of Ice and Fire, it's over for him. He'll be six feet under, neither remembered nor mourned.
It's different for the woman's role.
You can expect that while the man is off on the hunt, or on campaign to fight for his chief/emperor/king/lord/what have you, the mother is left with the elders of the family to care for the children. See, while traits we typically associate with a "good personality" will make a mother more attentive and loving to her children, and create an environment for those children to grow up healthy and functional, a "bad" or "dark triad" personality will do the opposite. An abusive or neglectful mother can cause her children to become any combination of dysfunctional and malnourished; even the survivability of the children is not certain. It can also cause mismanagement of the household in the absence of the father, as in times past, elders hardly ever lived far past age 60 even in ideal conditions--when the grandfather is dead, the father is many miles away fighting for his lord, and the mother is a bad personality, it's over.
Even in times of peace and stability, the father will be absent from the household for much of the day, meaning the mother's personality is still far more important than the father's as she still has greater influence over the household and the raising of offspring.
