The word 'bloke' is a slang originally came from England, brought over to Australia and now more generally used here downunder than in its native country. It can mean 'boy', 'chap', 'character', 'fellow', 'guy', or 'man'.
Sample sentence: "He is a nice bloke, and everybody here likes him very much."
You can see from that sample sentence that it is not used as an insult or in a negative way. So if you are called a 'bloke' in Australia or England, don't feel shocked, choked or provoked, but smile, and be proud, because that means you are considered to belong to a good company, mate!

It means a guy. I learned that by reading books written by European authors so it must be a word only used in Europe.

It's british slang for "guy." Such as "I met this bloke the other day at the store" = "I met this man the other day at the store"
