@NanningYouth 不对付 is an intransitive phrase. It can't be used the way you put it.

<p>It's a rarely used saying which means 'have good relationship', 'know each other well'. Don't use it to a Chinese friend or he/she will probably be confused too.</p>

不对付 is a spoken phrase commonly used in northern China (e.g. Dongbei and Beijing).

As other answers stated, 不对付 has the meanings of 合不来 (can't get along with each other) or 不喜欢 (don't like each other).

Just want to state several meanings of 对付 other than "handle" and "deal with":

1. Defeat (击败): 对付敌人 = defeat the enemy (transitive)
2. Make do (将就): 这双旧鞋就对付着穿吧 = just make do with this pair of old shoes (intransitive)
3. Good relationship (合得来): 两人对付/不对付 -- as above (spoken, intransitive)
