Is it vain to want to improve my looks a lot just to attract girls?

I'm not sure. I consider myself fairly ugly. This isn't a self-image thing, it's just a result of so little interest from girls (18 year old male). I guess I need to accept how much looks can play a role in relationships today. Yes, once you're in a relationship or once you really get to know someone looks become less and less important but being physically attracted to someone can often be the starting point even if we try not to think that way.

I'm thinking teeth whitening (hate my teeth, fairly yellow), getting a tan (really pale), stuff like that. Would these kind of changes make me appear really vain?

Put the internet to work for you.
