Jimi Hendrix was right handed & played left handed, Mark Knopfler is left handed & plays right handed. (I know some will want to question this, but do some research & you will find it's true, I sourced this from a David Mead book & have also seen reference to it in other reputable books & docos)
Some have the theory that they did things the correct way as it makes more sense that your dominant hand does the more dexterous work on the fretboard.
I personally don't think it makes much of a difference as long as you play well & enjoy doing so. Interestingly Graham Russel (Air Supply - the deeper voiced one that plays guitar & writes the songs) is left handed & plays a right-handed-guitar left handed, in other words the strings are upside down. That would be a good party trick, get half way through a song, flip the guitar to the other side & carry on playing.
