I tried using this expression but a friend of mine who lives in Japan said it
is feminine. I tried searching about this online but couldn't find any
indication that it is. Is it really feminine? if it is, how do guys express
excitement/elation?

question
expressions feminine-speech
Is わくわく waku waku a feminine expression?
わくわく is not feminine at all, but a little childish.

楽しい or 楽しみ is a better expression to use in a formal situation.
