Saint John is played to a T - handsome (well, kind of), driven, imperious, and cold as ice. With a different personality he could be very attractive, but as he is, it's perfectly understandable that Jane doesn't want to marry him. "you are docile and obiedent, perfect wife for me" --> 😶😳☹nothx.
He's really an interesting counter point to Rochester: that one was passionate, without goals and in the end, selfish and just looking what makes him happy, while for Saint John, everything is judged by whether or not it serves his Goal.
The difference is that Rochester learns and changes, while Saint John is steaming onwards like a train until the boiler blows up.

This man is gorgeous! And pious, too! Charlotte Brontë wrote a tale all too romantic I’m afraid, but in a 21st century interpretation I would say that all Jane says is that she is in touch with her feelings and that despite being plain and all, she really wants to be LOVED truly for herself ! And StJohn is not in touch with his feelings or in the way of finding them soon, as many of us are so often, he is obsessed with work.
