There's just.. nothing attractive about it? What am I supposed to do with it?
Promote the interests of your family.
(Where "supposed to" means "able to, leading to evolutionary advantage, with the result that the quality in question becomes attractive to potential mates". I don't know whether this just-so story is actually right, but it seems very plausible.)
[EDITED to add: "promote the interests of" is intended to cover providing food and shelter and other useful resources, protection against attack, persuading others to treat the family well, etc.]
