Carbon dioxide: Studies have shown that mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide and thus you may actually attract more mosquitos when sweating or exercising. You need to sit next to someone who emits more carbon dioxide than you. Do note that a fan is a very good mosquito repellant since they can't fly well in a breeze.

Lots of Reasons!: Noncorrectable reasons you are loved: Genetics, being O+, Large (easy to see), Good lipid processor (ends up skin instead--yummy smell), giving off heat, pregnant Correctable: smelly feet, don't change socks, drink alcohol like beer, over heated, or give off excess CO2 from being active, Bright clothes so you don't blend in, eating Limburger cheese (ugh like smelly feet! Mosquito perfume!)
