I am not going to respond to everything because I don't need to be the last word.

Saying she is "middle aged, overweight and below average attractiveness" is not disrespectful. They are facts supported by the evidence she provided. Almost everyone is at least one of those things. Just like saying "toothless, homeless and unemployed" is not disrespectful if they are facts, however we don't even know if those are facts or her exaggerations. Given that it later states he was "gap-toothed" and lived in a trailer, I wouldn't be surprised if she was exaggerating to make her point. For the sake of not arguing, I will assume she was being 100% accurate, because it really doesn't matter.

It becomes disrespectful when she implies he was gross and expressed such disgust in the man that being with him was "surreal" and brought her so much shame that she couldn't leave the house after. If you can't see the difference, then there really isn't any point in continuing the discussion.
