Not at all in conflict. If you go to a target rich environment, chat to lots of targets, get friendly with those you like, ask them for coffee. Be a friend first and then move to building a network.
We are not talking here about singling someone from the crowd, Ie going on the pull. The target rich environment could be a book lovers meetup group, a cooking class, dancing classes.....
Somewhere women go to socialise and you can socialise too. Try hiking....... there are meetups for all sorts of things, food, activities, learning, exercise,
So a male drink bar won't do it.
