In the past, many years ago, some did and some didn't.
Today there is a choice about whether or not a young lady wishes to become a Geisha. If she doesn't feel she is up to the task, then she discontinues her service and employment with the okiya and returns to her family.
Geisha always wear beautiful, elaborate, and expensive kimono that are 'tied' at the middle with a thick sash-like cloth called an obi.
Geisha is a Japanese Word. it basically means, artist. because they practise many arts. A Geisha is a Japanese woman who entertains people (usually men), with classical Japanese arts. She is skilled in singing, dancing, playing musical instruments for example, shamisen. serving food, drinks like sake, and tea, and practiced in conversation. The word Geisha is written 芸者 in Japanese, and means an artistic performer, or an entertainer. The traditional age of a geisha to start their training is three years and three days. She becomes apprenticed also known as a maiko to a senior, often retired Geisha, and during this many years long apprenticeship she is called a Maiko (舞子), which means a child dancer. One of the best places to learn about a geisha is the Blog of a Maiko in Kyoto, Japan. It is at http://ichi.dreamblog.jp/ If you cannot read Japanese, there is an English version at http://ichi.dreamblog.jp/2/17/
No. A geisha is skilled in non sexual arts. She may (or may not) have a sexual relationship with a client, but this is her own business, and is not part of her entertainment. An Oiran (a Japanese courtesan) is the woman you are thinking of. She was skilled in the sexual arts, and freely sold her services. The Oiran do not exist in modern society.
Unless you have a connection that can get you an introduction to a teahouse, or unless you can hire a geisha through a hotel, chances are no amount of money is going to get you a meeting with a geisha. However, there is at least one service that allows foreigners to hire a Geisha or maiko -- if you look up "Kyoto Sights and Nights" you can find more information on it. If you use a service like that, expect to pay a minimum of $500 per person.
Oh, dude, like, totally! Nigahiga, aka Ryan Higa, is a Japanese-American YouTuber known for his comedy videos. So, yeah, he's Japanese, but also American. It's like, he's got the best of both worlds, you know?
you can but not for like 5 or 6 years.
These are my guesses. Japanese girls are exotic (from another land, excitingly different or unusual ) and this is physically obvious. Japanese women are often seen as subservient or compliant (probably based on the geisha image)
It is almost impossible for a western girl to become a Geisha. Geisha are only Japanese females, and they begin their training around the age of 16. There have been two instances that non-Japanese women have been allowed to become Geisha, and that is because they were being near the Geisha as a study, and the Geisha took them under their wing and allowed them to go through the process. If you would like to become more like a Geisha, take lessons on manners, etiquette, poise, as well as Japanese dance, poetry, conversation skills, and classic Japanese instruments.

yes, some of them. From my Ghanaian bf & his friends: Japanese girls like blacks so much. They will chase after them...
Probably. Do girls like boys? Yes.
It depends on there personality and their genes.
To dress up like a geisha in Kyoto, you can visit a specialized studio or shop that offers geisha makeover services. They will provide you with a traditional kimono, hairstyle, and makeup to achieve the geisha look. It is important to respect and appreciate the cultural significance of the geisha tradition while participating in this activity.

Don't be RIDICULOUS! Japanese boys can like whoever they want!
I doubt it.
