It depends where you are walking, if it is along a street or on a side walk the female should be the farthest from the road |

The man should be on the side away from the building.
It derives from the times when the sewer ran down the middle of the street and the man war a very wide brim hat (like a musketeer) and the idea was that the waste would hit the brim of the hat and bounce off into the street and the woman would remain clean.
It became a custom in which the man demonstrates respect for the woman y being on the outside and the demonstrates respect for the man by accepting the act.
In frontier times in the Americas, the man would walk in front of the women so that he could first address any danger.
Today such customs have pretty much gone the way of opening a door for a lady or holding her chair. Neither exhibits respect for the other. |

My mother always told me the guy should be on the street side. Her explanation was that years ago it was to protect the lady in case indians or robbers attacked The guy being on the outside took the arrow or bullet. |

Usually a woman is escorted on the man's left side. So when you approach a door, he can easily open it for the woman. The same when pulling out her chair. |

Doesn't matter where you are, the Lady must be on the inside of the Male. It show's the Male think's Highly of her and is protecting her from any danger.

Traditionally the man should be on the right, its the place of dominance (not saying its right its just tradition). |

The Woman Should Always be on the right side of the man escorting her. The right side always denotes a place of honor. Even in the bible Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. |
