What does “you’re not a bad looking guy” mean?

[Anonymous]

My male friend said that I’m not bad looking. Is it a way of saying you’re not ugly or that you’re attractive? (by the way I know he’s not gay because of the way he acts and he has had a girlfriend for years).

It means that you are "good enough" to look at. It could translate into cute or really hot but don't want to inflate his ego. PICTURE would be helpful on update...

You're ugly/unattractive but not by that much (like a 4 or 5 out of 10), or "I'm not interested in you."

I think that's a man’s way of saying, “you aren't ugly. You should have a girlfriend.”
