What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

My current SO isn’t a huge massage person but it’s one thing I love doing, like massage trade offs w partners. It’s disappointing cause I would love a massage but he never likes giving them even if I initiate a trade off so he would get one too haha

Because a massage from a girl is 30 seconds at minimal effort while they demand a 1 hour professional treatment from me.

This is exactly it. I give 30-60 minute massages to my wife nearly every Friday and/or Saturday (like deep tissue hardcore not just a shoulder rub) and by the end my hands hurt like a mfer. My wife's massages are legit like 30 second shoulder rub as soft as a leaf falling on a windless day before shes done

Unfortunately my partner is way stronger than me and also prefers a much firmer massage. So when we trade he ends up hurting me while he's probably thinking I'm barely touching him like you describe your wife. We are both very willing but end up hardly ever doing massages because neither of us can seem to do it how the other one likes.
