I have been told that the Oxford dictionary defines it thusly. Are 'Dudes' unsophisticated fools?

Our Living Language Cowboys and the Wild West are indelibly set in the minds of many as typical of Americaan association borne out by several common Modern English words that originated in the speech of the 19th-century western United States. One is dude, now perhaps most familiar as a slang term with a wide range of uses (including use as an all-purpose interjection for expressing approval: “Dude!”). Originally it was applied to fancy-dressed city folk who went out west on vacation. In this usage it first appears in the 1870s. The origin of the word is not known, but a number of other cowboy terms were borrowed by early settlers from American Spanish. These include buckaroo, corral, lasso, mustang, ranch, rodeo, and stampede. Buckaroo, interestingly, is an example of a word borrowed twice: it is an Americanized form of Spanish vaquero, which also made it into English as vaquero, a cowboy

Dude: a dandy; a city person on holiday in a ranch
Dandy: a man who likes to dress TOO fashionably
Basically, the term used to mean the same thing as "city slickers" or people who had a lot of money and lived in the city who would go on holiday in the country and did not fit in.
I believe the ranches were called "Dude Ranches"

No! A dude is a greenhorn in the old west that dresses up in real fancy clothes and does not know the first thing about being a real cowhand! It is a Cowboy term and was only used by that type of person and in areas where they lived and worked!

When I first heard the word Dude it was the equivalent of tenderfoot. It was supposedly how cowboys referred to men from the city who were new to the outdoor life.
