Reminds of me this video I watched years ago by Veritaseum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38gVZgE39K8

Really interesting, again super small sample size. It's just his girlfriend and him testing out who's more attractive using a lab experiment. I don't believe they were able to conclusively answer the question, even with the mosquitoes biting one person more than the other.

I had been thinking for a while, mosquitoes prefer certain smells, and use their olfactory senses to find targets.

Anecdotally, like others on the thread, I get bitten all the time in areas with mosquitoes, where my parents, others never did.
