During a particularly hot, mosquito-infested night, I lay in a hammock, sipping beer and talking with friends, wearing only levi cut-offs. I got the livin' pi** bit out of me, but the evening was so pleasant, the beer and company so aggreable, that I decided to ignore the pests.
Here's the upshot: After suffering ONE itchy, painful night and day of innumerable mosquito bites, I found I could go out on the porch all night without a single mosquito bite! This lasted the rest of the year.
I think scientists should look for the substance the human body automatically manufactures to discourage mosquitos. That mosquito repellant you buy in sporting goods stores doesn't work all that well, plus it's really smelly.
I have the same problem (being highly attractive to mosquitos).

I have a theory that mosquitos do not like the taste of garlic or onions - they like ‘sweet blood’. So, if you eat enough garlic or onions, your sweat alone is enough to keep everything away, including mosquitoes.
I live in Florida and the mosquitoes don’t bite me for some reason. But they will tear someone up two feet away.
Poison ivy has not effect on me either. I could rub it on my face.
Kinda weird.
