      You stupid americans are all wrong. Bloke is simply a British slang term for man/guy, with perhaps slight connotations of masculinity, and used only in an informal setting. Unlike guy it is not normally used vocatively, as in hey you blokes.

            Typically, man or guy. Its origins are unknown, but it is unlikely to have come from the the Midlands in the UK, as suggested by one user. It is used commonly in the UK and Australia, although it has usage in Canada and the USA too.
            Its earliest recorded usage was in Cab Calloways 1931 recording Minnie The Moocher where he sings She messed around with a bloke named smokey, she loved him... It has been used more frequently in Kanye Wests collaboration with the UKs Estelle

              Bloke: an informal English word for man, similar to [chap], [guy], [feller]/[fella]/[fellow],[geezer].
              Often thought of as an Australian word as it is commonly used over there. The Aussie Bloke is a stereotype of a typical Australian Man, i.e. loves sport, beer, bbqs.
              Its used in UK and Aus. in the same way guy and dude are used in America
              According to a local newspaper in the Midlands, the word originated in the [Black country] (an area near Birmingham, UK), but Im really not sure how much truth is in that!

                I see their are some Americans I suspect of French or Ukranian origin on this site who have a grudge against the British. For your information the word bloke is similar to the American dude except that it is more symbolic of a regular guy. In other words its connotation is not as gay as dude.

                  The British/Australian equivalent of the American dude. Just as dude is sterotyped as a word for stoners, bloke has tough guy connotations.

                  In reality, theyreb oth just pronouns for a person.
