You see, the thing is that they culturally involve themselves with selective breeding all for the purpose of producing strong offspring. To me, that tells me that they are a society that highly values strength and prowess. Regardless of how strong a Nunh(a.k.a the strongest male) is next to the best huntress in the tribe, he is still a highly valuable asset to them. This, to me, would tell me that they would offer respect to his position and expect him to take his role seriously. I can't relate to the idea of supposing that any tribe would be content with some person having the audacity to not bother affiliating with them for the most part and only returning when he feels like it when he not only has a duty, but extreme worth to the tribe at home. And while I think that it's not like breeding is something that needs to happen regularly; post-Calamity, it might even be the opposite for many, but that doesn't erase the importance of his presence, and the simple rarity of males in general can potentially give him a far greater sense of worth than even an equally capable huntress or better.
Wandering off from your tribe in general would likely not be seen as a very faithful thing to be doing to your family, let alone when it comes to someone of such extreme importance. Most tribes probably aren't THAT large. So if you have a total number of say 50 people, then you're looking at about 5 males in your tribe at best... and that's not including age, disfigurement or anything else that might disqualify one from the eligibility for the role. Unless you're in a massive, massive tribe then having a male of all people wandering off should be a rather serious issue, let alone an actual Nunh.
