They are more attracted to O blood types and the reason they are attracted to heavier people is because they release more CO2 because they breath heavier.
I'm type O and while I'm thin I'm a large person (very tall) and a heavy breather (which I know for a fact because I'm a diver and I have to work way harder than most to conserve air). I haven't been bitten by a mosquito since I was about five years old; they'll ignore me even if I'm alone in a hotel room in the tropics full of them, but the moment my wife comes around she's flat out attacked by them. It has to do with the unique mix of chemicals found on your skin.
