Since Genies can’t make someone love you, could you wish for you to be able to love yourself? I searched up why the love thing is a rule in the first place, and it said something about how you can’t “change true feelings” or some bs like that.
İt is like that because of intent to give a lesson most likely though it could be improvised like result of wish can lock the wisher in a loop of guilt and their consience will remind their “lover” never prefered them
also because it’s fucking disgusting to take away someone’s autonomy

Knowing how genies mess up wishes you’d probably end up with a yandere that keeps you like a pet or something[1]
and I’m pretty sure a number of people here wouldn’t even mind ↩︎

why would you complain about being able to make a wish, even if there’s rules alongside it?
get the monkey’s paw then, it fufills your wish no matter what you wish for
How do we tell ‘em?
that’s the thing, you don’t have to
If I were desperate for love, I would wish to be able to find someone who loves me, not make the genie attempt and fail at altering their emotions
That said I’d probably use my wishes to fix my country and the world, not waste it on some fleeting romance
Well first wish always has to be some loophole to get you infinite wishes
there’s a similar premise to a genie about this scenario and they made a whole movie about why it’d be butt
The genie in Aladdin literally just can’t do that
I said a loophole
Just use one of your 3 standard wishes to wish for a genie who will grant infinite wishes
But what if the person who loves you is a horrible person, or, worse, utterly chopped?
ill probably include something along the lines of
- is not horrible
- is not chopped
- (edit) is not male
How about someone who is of a gender you are not attracted to?
(I’ll stop with the nitpicking now)
The genie forcetransitions them 
Consent? Have we forgotten about consent…?
They literally made a horror movie about this
Actually, this is completely untrue. You can wish for love. Here’s how:
Wish one:
“I wish for a luxurious couch.”
Wish two:
“I wish to hold a rose in my mouth.”
Wish three, as you lounge sexily against the couch and try to speak around the rose:
“I wish you to be free, honeybuns.”

hey sorry to burst the bubble but whenever someone asks me the genie question im always like “give the ability of reality manipulation in its purest form”, so i could LITERALLY make anything be past present or future. like if i want to remove my traumatic experiences? done, i just warp reality to have that never happen and be replaced by the best years of my life. plus you could literally be like “oh ive always been a millionare” and boom solve the issue of funds- TO BE HONEST you could literally just change it so money has NEVER existed and societies arent dependent on it and can function freely without it, even if it doesnt make sense i can absolutely just “it just does” to anything i want.
only thing that confuses me is the second wish, cause the last one is for freeing the genie.. maybe something dumb lol
