I feel you! Broad shoulders are a problem for me too (second or third on that list?). Need at least 2 good, full pillows to be able to sleep on my side without trips to the chiropractor...
I was once sitting, waiting for everybody to board, when a guy came to sit in the seat next to me. Youngish, not overweight or abnormally tall/short - just normal looking. Couldn't fit his hips in between the armrests. Said it was his first time on an airplane... In the end they made him sit in a jumpseat and the off-duty pilot there sit next to me.

You wanna know what makes "a more comfortable in-flight experience" and "a huge difference in how tolerable flying is"? Number one on the list is

That, and not breaking guitars [davecarrollmusic.com].

Short guy built like a gorilla here. Give me more shoulder room any day.
