I don't think that people meant that with a man, they would become weaker. That's just that Elsa and Merida are kinda unique in their own ways because they are some of first Princesses to stay single at the ending and making family love the msot important and romantic love being second. So with their personalities, we just wonder how they could be in love. I think personally that Merida (in canon) had some interest for the guy MacGuffin. It is even confirmed in canon. Elsa had been alone for some time so she prefers for the moment staying with her sister and ruling the kingdom (But she would eventually get married. Royal Family had to marry for having heirs). Who it would be is up to interpretation.

I don't think however a man would weaken characters. Some characters had been in love before and they stayed strong in mind. Just see Esmeralda or Mulan or others Princesses who could stand up against others and still had love interest.
